Abstract
This research interrogated how four middle school science teachers connected students' personal experiences to the construction of scientific knowledge. Teachers used a video-based social learning environment (SLE) to elicit student and familial knowledge. We examined how teachers leveraged technology to validate the ways that race, language, and culture, through the lens of identity, were critical in students' construction of science knowledge. The SLE prompts used by teachers were analyzed and findings are discussed.
