Building on Mikhail Bakhtin's notions of heterogeneity and heteroglossia, the authors explain how STEM coding can be understood as voicing computational utterances, rather than a technocentric framing of building computational artifacts. Empirical chapters illustrate this theoretical stance by investigating different framings of coding as voicing.List of Figures xi\u003cbr\u003eList of Tables xiii\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003cbr\u003e1 Beyond Technocentrism: Coding as Experience 1\u003cbr\u003e2 A Dialogical Imagination of Coding in STEM 23\u003cbr\u003e3 Coding and Modeling as Perspectival Work 41\u003cbr\u003e4 Addressivity in Computational Design 63\u003cbr\u003e5 Recontextualization and Transitional Othering 87\u003cbr\u003e6 Computational Heterogeneity and Teacher Voice 121\u003cbr\u003e7 Coding as Aesthetic Experience 165\u003cbr\u003e8 Computational Heterogeneity: A Radical Reflection 191\u003cbr\u003eIndex 211“As access to technology has expanded in K–12 classrooms, it is the technology itself that has been the central focus, making learners, educators, communities, and histories peripheral. The authors of this book return the complex experience of learners and educators to the center of the classroom narrative.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Colleen M.
