도토리묵 (Acorn Jelly) as an Actor to Connect Culture and Science

Le résumé fourni par la source

In response to research arguing for integrating culture into science education contexts, this analysis looks at how culture was an actor with agency in an elementary teacher professional development (PD) project.Drawing on actor network theory, we asked: How does culture as an actor exercise agency to shape an assemblage within elementary science PD activity?We focused on the Korean language and 도토리묵 (dotori-muk: Korean acorn jelly) as manifestations of Korean culture within our assemblage.Microgenetic analysis revealed three transitions where relationships between actors were re-assembled and translated into new learning trajectories.These transitions involved 1) the Korean language and 2) 도토리묵 exercising agency to influence the PD activity, and 3) Korean language and cultural practices influencing the teachers' and researchers' relationship to science.Findings provide insights for future research recognizing the agency and influence of culture on knowledge production.
