Description

We explore how educators interpret classroom sociograms and use their network related ideas to inform pedagogical decisions. A workshop titled CLASSNET was designed upon network research evidence in education and collaborative learning techniques (CLTs). CLASSNET was implemented during 2022 and 2023 on a sample in-service (43) and pre-service science teachers (136). Qualitative analysis of their pedagogical decisions during 2022 led to the revision of CLASSNET’s content in 2023, where we added CLTs and group-level activities. Results highlight the need for network-based protocols for group formation, and the tendency for posing prescribed teaching methods while overlooking the classroom social ecology.
