Understanding and Promoting Epistemic Growth: Applying the AIR and Apt-AIR Frameworks

Abstract

This symposium features eight projects that present findings and insights unfolding from the application of the AIR and/or Apt-AIR frameworks-two frameworks addressing the design and analysis of epistemic growth. Through dialogue within and across papers, we highlight the theoretical, methodological, and design advances these frameworks afford, from epistemic scaffolds to epistemic moves, and from social media contexts to classroom communities. We also discuss interfaces with other theoretical frameworks, including knowledge building, rightful presence, and self-regulated learning. This interactive session will promote insights into epistemic growth and how to promote it and into the development and application of frameworks for epistemic growth.
