Abstract
Motivated by needs for intersectional, student-involved class participation research, I report the results of an exploratory study of student participation disaggregated by race, gender, disability, and their intersections. Surveying students (n=42) about their identities, attempts to participate, and motivations for participation, I found White students attempted on-time work at a greater rate, while Latinx students attempted it less than peers. Female students attempted exit ticket reflections more often than peers, and male Latinos attempted labor reflections less often. Explanations emphasized ease, habits, self-regulation, and learning. Disabled participants cited habits more, and White men cited self-regulation less. This study contributes to scholarship in participation and assessment, with implications for classroom assessment and policies. I conclude with directions for future research and a classroom heuristic.
