63- Problematizing Mathematics Homework as Punishment: Practice and Theory

Tuesday, April 12, 2016: 1:15 PM-2:30 PM
3009 (San Francisco Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
Mara Landers, PhD


Description of Presentation:

This session will engage participants in a discussion of the legitimacy of the meaning of mathematics homework as punishment and the potential for punishments such as homework detention to change students’ homework practices. We will also focus on how practice (educators’ experiences) and theory (homework as a social practice and site for meaning making) can inform each other.
