Description

The GDE framework conceptualizes engagement at the group rather than individual level, extending productive disciplinary engagement (Engle & Conant) with a situative perspective. The authors "define group's productive engagement as joint participation (behaviorally engaged) with a positive and inclusive interpersonal climate (socio-emotionally engaged), which together provide as an initial foundation to enable joint knowledge co-construction (collaborative engagement)", plus metacognitive and disciplinary engagement. Engagement is treated as co-negotiated norms unfolding dynamically over time and situated in curriculum, task, and instructional contexts.
