Available at: http://teachinginecp.com | Project: | Writing to Learn action research project | Abstract: | In this chapter the author offers an honest interrogation of how the powerful status of Physics as a discipline creates a relational and lower power differential for students. Her goal in her ECP classroom is to subvert these imposed power boundaries. She presents an analysis of how through her teaching practices she has been able to offer students a different view into the discipline and also shifts the way in which they understand the discipline and the role of the teacher in their classroom. | Description: | Chapter in book | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11189/7035 | ISBN: | 978-0-6399647-5-1 |
