Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her
2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez’s work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches
to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves
as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with
marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

This metalogue addresses the ways Sreyashi Jhumki Basu mediated our practices in science education and life. We focus on Basu’s
uses of critical science agency, democratic science classrooms, and critical feminist ethnography to transform the possibilities
for all participants in her research and educational practices. We also examine her use of cases and pedagogical strategies
to support youth set practice goals based on conceptions of self and preferred learning trajectories. These strategies allow
youth to develop power through the use of disciplinary knowledge and modes of inquiry to support their understanding of themselves
as powerful, able to change their position in the world, and make the world more socially just. This (Key Contributors) article
acknowledges a life cut short through disease, reflects our personal loss of a friend and colleague, and expresses determination
to ensure that her contributions to science education are sustained and continued.

This article explores how incarcerated youth and adult supervisors contest claims to identity via language of “representing”.
Comparing how youth and adults “represent” in discussions of their own past and future selves sheds light on the constrained
universe of discourse within which both groups work to express identities and on the basis of which we counsel, mentor, and
educate young people. Acknowledging these constraints can contribute to understanding what I call exceptionalism—the idea that only exceptional poor and raced young men, through great personal effort and sacrifice, may resist the lure
of the “street”. I conclude by discussing implications of this work for education and youth development work both inside and
beyond the juvenile justice system as well as for research across lines of difference by committed “outsiders”.

Physics education reform movements should pay attention to feminist analyses of gender in the culture of physics for two reasons.
One reason is that feminist analyses contribute to an understanding of a ‘chilly climate’ women encounter in many physics
university departments. Another reason is that feminist analyses reveal that certain styles of doing science are predominant
in the culture of physics. I introduce recent philosophical work in social epistemology to argue that the predominance of
certain styles of doing science is not good for science. Scientific communities would benefit from greater diversity in styles
of doing science.

A great challenge in education research involves the difficulty of differentiating between studies that apply commonly understood
theoretical perspectives and recognizing studies that merely rename old theoretical frameworks. This conflict between intellectual
innovation and intellectual retrofitting emerges as central to Basu, Calabrese-Barton, Clairmont, and Lock’s exploration of
the relationship between critical agency and student identity development in science.

This paper provides a critical review essay of Ajay Sharma’s Portrait of a science teacher as a bricoleur: A case study from India. The main focus is two fold. First, arguments are presented to draw attention to how little advances in science teaching and
science learning research have impacted teachers’ practice and student achievement in the last 40 years. Second, the paper
describes how the researcher’s traditionally detached role and truncated agency may inadvertently contribute to preserving
the status quo by only documenting the Other’s struggles and challenges. I suggest that researchers need to re-conceptualize
their roles as co-agents of change if we are to assist the Other effect positive and long-lasting change in the increasingly
complex and demanding contexts in which teachers are expected to teach and students to learn.

This paper provides a review of research that examines the development and expression of agency in and through high-school
physics. The interchange offers realizations and questions brought to mind by the reading of the research and provides written
comments connected to specific sections of the paper germane to my own theoretical perspective. Within the context of this
commentary, raised issues are discussed in a dialogic manner in order to elucidate deeper understanding concerning the empirical
investigation presented in the study. As a final point, a brief synopsis is put forward regarding some of the contributions
that studies such as the one reviewed have to offer for providing equitable access to science for all students.

In this rejoinder to Ann Kindfield and Grady Venville’s comments on our article “Reconsidering conceptual change from a socio-cultural
perspective: Analyzing students’ meaning making in genetics in collaborative learning activities,” we elaborate on some of
the critical issues they raise. Their comments make apparent some of the crucial differences between a socio-cultural and
a socio-cognitive approach towards conceptual change. We have selected some issues that are addressed, either implicitly or
explicitly, in their comments. The main issues discussed are talk and interaction as data, the significance of context in
interaction studies, the feasibility of generic claims in small-scale interaction studies, and the difference between studying
students’ understanding of science concepts as opposed to studying the construction of meaning.

Youth voices: connections between history, enacted culture and identity in a digital divide initiative 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The design of educational experiences is often mediated by historical, institutional, and social conceptions. Although these
influences can initially shape the way that educational opportunities are created and implemented, this preliminary form has
the potential to reorganize. In this paper, we illustrate how history shows its presence in the ways that instructors systematically
arrange a technology course for urban youth. This original approach to the course inhibits youth participation. Incrementally,
however, the cultural enactments of instructors and students lead to a reorganization of activity. Through highlighting history
and examining the intersection of culture, we provide insight into the ways in which adolescents of color become successfully
engaged in learning technology. We focus our study by asking how co-existence and the dialectic of structure and agency play
a role as youth develop an identity as a technology user. Further, this emergent learning design affords outsiders a unique
view of the educational and contextual experiences of these youth. Our illustration of how history, enacted culture and identity
mediate the emergent learning design stems from a grounded theory approach to analyzing video, interview and artifact data
in this after-school technology course.

This response draws from the literature on adaptive learning, traditional ecological knowledge, and social–ecological systems
to show that Brad’s choice is not a simple decision between traditional ecological knowledge and authentic science. This perspective
recognizes knowledge systems as dynamic, cultural and historical activities characterized by diverse worldviews and ways of
constructing and legitimizing knowledge. Brad’s decision is seen as an example of adaptive learning, identity development
and personal/collective agency oriented to increasing tribal influence in resource management decisions and policies. I will
conclude that science literacy for all is not served by a transcendent, universal, Western modern view of science.

Using longitudinal data from the UCLA Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) and Your First College Year (YFCY)
surveys, this study examines predictors of the likelihood that science-oriented students would participate in a health science
undergraduate research program during the first year of college. The key predictors of participation in health science research
programs are students’ reliance on peer networks and whether campuses provide structured opportunities for first-year students
even though only 12% of freshmen in the sample engaged in this activity. These experiences are particularly important for
Black students. The findings inform efforts to orient students at an early stage, particularly under-represented minorities,
toward biomedical and behavioral science research careers.

On pigs and packers: Radically contextualizing a practice of science with Mexican immigrant students
This paper reports on instructional practices observed in a high school English Learner (EL) Science course serving newcomer
Mexican immigrant youth. The school is located in a rural Midwestern meatpacking community in which labor at the hog plant
is economically- and racially-segmented; it is the town’s Mexican residents, many of them undocumented, who comprise most
of the unskilled labor force. The general purpose of the paper is to document how the economic and racial context of this
community influences science instruction in the EL Science course and to describe how this presents particular challenges
in achieving equitable science instruction for Mexican immigrant youth in these rural, globalizing places. Entering the data
via critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1995) and then utilizing Barton’s (2003) “practice of science” perspective, with an eye toward achieving “radical contextuality” (Grossberg, 1997), we describe the
science events, identities, and structures of the pig dissection lesson and detail how what these students could do with science,
as rendered by that lesson, was limited by the roles the teacher attributed to the students, her inability to draw on their
funds of knowledge as resources for learning, and the voice and position she allowed them to take up. The data reinforce conventional
understandings of schools as sites of cultural reproduction (Bowels & Gintis, 1976), as well as of resistance (Giroux, 1983), but afford us a glimpse of the particularity of those mechanisms within the demographically-transitioning American Heartland,
iconic of the era of global capitalism.

Our 5-year professional development intervention is designed to promote elementary teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices
in teaching science, along with English language and mathematics for English Language Learning (ELL) students in urban schools.
In this study, we used an end-of-year questionnaire as a primary data source to seek teachers’ perspectives on our intervention
during the first year of implementation. Teachers believed that the intervention, including curriculum materials and teacher
workshops, effectively promoted students’ science learning, along with English language development and mathematics learning.
Teachers highlighted strengths and areas needing improvement in the intervention. Teachers’ perspectives have been incorporated
into our on-going intervention efforts and offer insights into features of effective professional development initiatives
in improving science achievement for all students.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

Science educators have yet to identify ways to enable inner city African American high school students to experience success
in science. In this paper, we argue that understanding the ways in which cultural practices from fields outside of school
mediate what happens inside classrooms and contribute to the learning of students is crucial to addressing current disparities
in science performance. Specifically, we explore the significance of movement expressiveness dispositions to the lives and
the learning of economically disadvantaged African American youth. These particular dispositions have been repeatedly observed
in our research, and they can be important resources for the creation of individual emotional energy, collective solidarity,
and heightened engagement in learning activities since they provide resources for the (re)shaping of identity. Thus movement
expressiveness dispositions hold potential for transforming the teaching and learning of these students.

Developing Science Pedagogical Content Knowledge Through Mentoring Elementary Teachers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ken Appleton 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2008,19(6):523-545
Elementary teachers are typically hesitant to teach science. While a limited knowledge of science content is a reason for
this, limited science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has emerged as another reason in recent research. This study constitutes
two case studies of a professional development program for elementary teachers involving mentoring by a university professor.
The mentor took the role of a critical friend in joint planning and teaching of science. The study examines the nature of
the mentoring relationship and reports the type of teacher learning that occurred, with a particular focus on the teachers’
development of science PCK.

In today’s reform context, much attention is placed on policies and outcomes and far less emphasis on understanding the social
and cultural processes in schools. Using case-study methodology, I examine relationships between low-income, urban high school
students of color, and the school adults with whom they interact. Using grounded theory, students’ experiences are analyzed
and interpreted through the lens of recognition. Recognition is used as both a theoretical and empirical concept to illuminate
students’ experiences and voices, especially since the construct is largely absent in the U.S. education discourse. Students
revealed that being known by adults, talking with adults, engaging with adults personally, and experiencing encouraging adults
were all critical elements of recognition. I suggest that student–adult relationships, via the practice of recognition in
urban schools, needs to be interrogated, deliberate, and political so that the transformative purpose of education can be
realized.
