Analyzing classroom discourse in social justice mathematical modeling contexts
Research has extensively examined classroom discourse structures and functions in mathematics education; however, it remains under-investigated how classroom discourse unfolds in social justice mathematical modeling (SJMM) context. Our study investigated the discursive interactions between students and an instructor during a SJMM module implementation with upper elementary and middle school students. Using systemic functional linguistics (SFL)-informed Eggins and Slade’s (2006) discourse framework (E&S Framework), we analyzed 221 turns of classroom discourse during a 75-minute session. Our findings reveal module design and instructor discourse can collaboratively foster a supportive learning environment that enhances student agency and amplifies diverse student voices in mathematical discussions, while illuminating the intersection of mathematical reasoning and social justice consciousness. Our study hopes to make dual contributions to linguistics and education: extending E&S Framework to the new SJMM context while identifying evidence-based discourse strategies to enhance mathematics instruction through effective classroom dialogue.
