Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Across the two cases, differently offered resources for epistemic and relational agency shaped teachers' interpretations of students' behavior and thus their possibilities for responsive teaching actions. → Ilana Seidel Horn 2025
Evidence¶
Ilana Seidel Horn 2025¶
Ilana Seidel Horn, Yeliz Günal Aggül, Shuqin Li, Christine E. Hood. (2025). Teachers’ subjectivities in responsive instruction: when ambitious practice encounters challenging teaching situations. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-025-09742-7
q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Comparative case analysis of two teachers in similar sociocultural contexts with high commitment to responsive instruction, but with important differences in the relational agency made available to them, which shaped their epistemic agency and informed the theoretical model.
"Our analysis highlights how contexts differently offer resources for epistemic and relational agency, which, in turn, shapes teachers’ interpretations of students’ behavior, thus shifting their possibilities for responsiveness."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Domain Context — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Consultation with trusted colleagues offered new interpretations of a student's behavior, lessening a teacher's emotional labor and shifting her from surface acting to deep acting (Linda case) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Teacher agency development proceeds through temporal phases in which different subsystems dominate — related
- Relational trust shapes whether SWOT functions as organisational learning or superficial compliance — related
- Emotional rules in workplaces can stifle veteran mathematics teachers' epistemic and relational agency and thus their ability to learn
