We discuss the eight papers in this issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education focusing on the debate over conceptual change in science education and explore the issues that have emerged for us as we
consider how conceptual change research relates to our practice as science educators. In presenting our interpretations of
this research, we consider the role of participants in the research process and contextual factors in conducting research
on science conceptions, and draw implications for the teaching of science.
Christina Siry is a PhD student in the Urban Education program of the City University of New York, and an instructor at Manhattanville College. Her research interests focus on pre-service and in-service preparation for the teaching of science and she is currently researching the use of coteaching and cogenerative dialogue in elementary teacher preparation for the teaching of science. In particular, she is exploring the role that shared, supported teaching experiences can have in the construction of new teacher identity and solidarity. She has worked as an elementary science specialist teaching children in grades K-5, and in museum settings developing science programs for teachers and children. In addition to the position at Manhattanville College, Chris is a lecturer in the University of Pennsylvania’s Science Teacher Institute where she teaches science pedagogy to middle school teachers. Gail Horowitz is an instructor of chemistry at Yeshiva University, and a doctoral candidate in science education at Teachers College. For many years, she has been involved in research and curricular design within the organic chemistry laboratory setting, focusing specifically on the design of discovery or puzzle based experiments. Her doctoral research focuses on the intrinsic motivation of pre-med students. She is interested in trying to characterize and describe the academic goal orientations of pre-med students, and is interested in exploring how the curricular elements embedded in project based laboratory curricula may or may not serve to enhance their intrinsic motivation. Femi S. Otulaja is currently a PhD student and an adjunct professor of science teacher education at Queens College of the City University of New York. As a science teacher educator, his research interests focus on the use of cogenerative dialoguing and its residuals, such as coteaching, distributed leadership, culturally responsive pedagogy, as research and pedagogical tools for engaging, training and apprenticing urban middle and high schools pre- and in-service science teachers as legitimate peripheral participants. He also encourages the use of these modalities as assessment, evaluation and professional development tools for teaching and learning science and for realigning cultural misalignments in urban classrooms. His theoretical framework consists of a bricolage of participatory action research, constructivism, critical ethnography, cultural sociology, sociology of emotions, indigenous epistemology, culturally responsive pedagogy, critical pedagogy and conversation analyses. In addition, he advocates the use of technologies as assistive tools in teaching science. Nicole Gillespie is a Senior Program Officer at the Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF). She is a former naval officer and high school physics teacher. Nicole received her PhD in science education from the University of California, Berkeley in 2004 where she was supported by a Spencer Dissertation Fellowship. She worked with the Physics Education Group at the University of Washington and conducted research on students’ intuitive ideas about force and model-based reasoning and argumentation among undergraduate physics students at Berkeley. In addition to her work at KSTF, Nicole is an instructor in the University of Pennsylvania’s Science Teacher Institute. Ashraf Shady is a PhD candidate in the Urban Education program at the City University of New York Graduate Center; his strand of concentration is science, math, and technology. In his research he is currently using theoretical frameworks from cultural sociology and the sociology of emotion to examine how learning and teaching of science are enacted when students and their teachers are able to co-participate in culturally adaptive ways and use their social and symbolic capital successfully. His research interests focus on the use of cogenerative dialogues as a methodology to navigate cultural fields in urban education. Central to his philosophy as a science educator is the notion that teaching is a form of cultural enactment. As such, teaching, and learning are regarded as cultural production, reproduction, and transformation. This triple dialectic affirms that elements of culture are associated with the sociocultural backgrounds of participating stakeholders. Line A. Augustin received her doctorate degree in Chemistry (with a chapter of her dissertation on a case study of enactment of chemical knowledge of a high school student) and did a post-doc on Science Education at the Graduate Center, CUNY. She is currently teaching science content and methods courses in the Elementary and Early Childhood Education Department of Queens College, CUNY. She is interesting in investigating how racial, cultural, class and gender issues affect the ways that teaching and learning occurs in elementary classrooms, in understanding these issues and developing mechanism by which they can be utilized to promote better teaching and learning environment and greater dispositions towards science. She is also interested in what influences science teachers to change and/or to improve their teaching practices. 相似文献

This article reviews the significance of the contributions of Ernst von Glasersfeld to research in science education, especially
through his theoretical contributions on radical constructivism. As a field shaper, Glasersfeld’s subversive ideas catalyzed
debate in the science education community and fuelled transformation of many facets including research methods, ways of thinking
about teaching and learning, curriculum, and science teacher education. Perturbations emanating from the debates on constructivism
forged new pathways that led to the development and use of many of the sociocultural frameworks employed by authors in Cultural
Studies of Science Education.

Nondeterminism is a fundamental concept in computer science that appears in various contexts such as automata theory, algorithms
and concurrent computation. We present a taxonomy of the different ways that nondeterminism can be defined and used; the categories
of the taxonomy are domain, nature, implementation, consistency, execution and semantics. An historical survey shows how the
concept was developed from its inception by Rabin & Scott, Floyd and Dijkstra, as well as the interplay between nondeterminism
and concurrency. Computer science textbooks and pedagogical software are surveyed to determine how they present the concept;
the results show that the treatment of nondeterminism is generally fragmentary and unsystematic. We conclude that the teaching
of nondeterminism must be integrated through the computer science curriculum so that students learn to see nondeterminism
both in terms of abstract mathematical entities and in terms of machines whose execution is unpredictable.

In this article I critically examine the historical context of science education in a natural history museum and its relevance
to using museum resources to teach science today. I begin with a discussion of the historical display of race and its relevance
to my practice of using the Museum’s resources to teach science. I continue with a critical review of the history of the education
department in a natural history museum to demonstrate the historical constitution of current practices of the education department.
Using sociocultural constructs around identity formation and transformation, I move to the present with a case study of a
teacher who transforms the structure of science education in her classroom and school as a result of her identity transformation
and association with a museum-based professional education program.

This article reviews significant contributions made by Joe L. Kincheloe to critical research in science education, especially
through a multimethodological, multitheoretical, and multidisciplinary informed lens that incorporates social, cultural, political,
economic, and cognitive dynamics—the bricolage. Kincheloe’s ideas provide for a compelling understanding of, and insights
into, the forces that shape the intricacies of teaching and learning science and science education. They have implications
in improving science education policies, in developing actions that challenge and cultivate the intellect while operating
in ways that are more understanding of difference and are socially just.

Interviews with key scientists who had conducted research on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), together with analysis
of media reports, documentaries and other literature published during and after the SARS epidemic, revealed many interesting
aspects of the nature of science (NOS) and scientific inquiry in contemporary scientific research in the rapidly growing field
of molecular biology. The story of SARS illustrates vividly some NOS features advocated in the school science curriculum,
including the tentative nature of scientific knowledge, theory-laden observation and interpretation, multiplicity of approaches
adopted in scientific inquiry, the inter-relationship between science and technology, and the nexus of science, politics,
social and cultural practices. The story also provided some insights into a number of NOS features less emphasised in the
school curriculum—for example, the need to combine and coordinate expertise in a number of scientific fields, the intense
competition between research groups (suspended during the SARS crisis), the significance of affective issues relating to intellectual
honesty and the courage to challenge authority, the pressure of funding issues on the conduct of research and the ‘peace of
mind’ of researchers, These less emphasised elements provided empirical evidence that NOS knowledge, like scientific knowledge
itself, changes over time. They reflected the need for teachers and curriculum planners to revisit and reconsider whether
the features of NOS currently included in the school science curriculum are fully reflective of the practice of science in
the 21st century. In this paper, we also report on how we made use of extracts from the news reports and documentaries on
SARS, together with episodes from the scientists’ interviews, to develop a multimedia instructional package for explicitly
teaching the prominent features of NOS and scientific inquiry identified in the SARS research.

Konstantinos Alexakos 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2009,4(2):495-504
In his December editorial on Michael Reiss, Kenneth Tobin (Cult Stud Sci Educ 3:793–798, 2008), raises some very important questions for science and science teachers regarding science education and the teaching of creationism
in the classroom. I agree with him that students’ creationist ideologies should be treated not as misconceptions but as worldviews.
Because of creationism’s peculiarly strong political links though, I argue that such discussion must address three critical
and interconnected issues, including the uncertain state of teaching evolution in public schools nationally, the political
convergence of the creationist political beliefs with bigoted worldviews, and creationism’s inherent contrariness to science
and human progress. I suggest that we as science educators therefore not consider all sides to be equally right and to instead
take side against the politics of creationism. I also argue that we need much more serious discussion on how to better teach
science to students who hold creationist worldviews, and that science educators such as Reiss need to be part of that.

This article highlights the transformative contributions of Mary Monroe Atwater to the field of science education. Influenced
by worldviews shaped by a segregated macro-society and the privileges of a micro-society, Mary stood against oppression in
the early years of her academic career by desegregating academic settings and being the first and only African American in
varied arenas for many years. As an aspiring academic, Mary challenged dominant paradigms and as an activist academic, she
changed the landscape of science education. She broadened the knowledge base through scholarship and praxis and diversified
the science education community through personal and professional efforts that were pioneering in nature.
Eileen Carlton Parsons is an assistant professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The contexts in which the science teaching and learning of African Americans occur constitute the core of her research interests. She examines the educative process with respect to culture and race. 相似文献

There is thus nothing paradoxical about the inclusion of alchemy in the ensemble of the physical sciences nor in the preoccupation
with it on the part of learned men engaged in scientific study. In the context of the Medieval model, where discourse on the
physical world was ambiguous, often unclear, and lacking the support of experimental verification, the transmutation of matter,
which was the subject of alchemy, even if not attended by a host of occult features, was a process that was thought to have
a probable basis in reality. What is interesting in this connection is the utilization of the scientific categories of the
day for discussion of transmutation of matter and the attempt to avoid, in most instances in the texts that survive, of methods
reminiscent of magic.

This article examines Mary Budd Rowe’s groundbreaking and far-reaching contributions to science education. Rowe is best known
for her research on wait-time: the idea that teachers can improve the quality and length of classroom discussions by waiting
at least 3 s before and after student responses. Her wait-time research grew from and helped inform her staunch advocacy of
science education as inquiry; Rowe saw wonder and excitement as central to the teaching and learning of science. She spent
much of her professional life designing professional development experiences and innovative curriculum materials to help teachers,
particularly elementary school teachers, enact inquiry in their classrooms.

Our paper presents an in-service primary school teachers’ training program which is based on the idea that the history of
science can play a vital role in promoting the learning of physics. This training program has been developed in the context
of Comenius 2.1 which is a European Union program. This program that we have developed in the University of Athens is based
on socioconstructivist and sociocultural learning principles with the intention of helping teachers to appropriate the basic
knowledge on the issue of falling bodies. Moreover, it has the aim to make explicit through the exploitation of authentic
historical science events, on the above topic (Aristotle’s, Galileo’s and Newton’s theories on falling bodies) the Nature
of Science (NoS), the Nature of Learning (NoL) and the Nature of Teaching (NoT). During the implementation of the program
we have used a variety of teaching strategies (e.g. group work, making of posters, making of concept maps, simulations) that
utilize historical scientific materials on the issue of falling bodies.
Panos Kokkotas is professor at the Pedagogical Department of University of Athens. He teaches Science Education, Multimedia (audio, visual etc.) teaching tools and Museum Education to both initial and in-service teachers. He is also coordinator of the Comenius 2.1 projects entitled (i) “The MAP project” (two years duration—2004–2006) and (ii) “The STeT project (Science Teacher e-Training) (2006–2008).

Language in Science Education as a Gatekeeper to Learning,Teaching, and Professional Development 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Felicia M. Moore 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2007,18(2):319-343
In this study, I used a feminist poststructural perspective to explain how language is a gatekeeper in learning science, in
achieving professional honors in teaching science, and in teaching science to English language learners. The various uses
of language revealed interesting dynamics related to the culture of power of language and the culture of power of science
along race–ethnicity, gender, and class dimensions for teachers. Teachers did not necessarily see language as having distinct
purposes and uses. This further maintained the gatekeeping nature of language and discourse in science education. I discuss
implications for looking at language in science education for teacher professional development and student learning.

In this case study, we examine a teacher’s journey, including reflections on teaching science, everyday classroom interaction,
and their intertwined relationship. The teacher’s reflections include an awareness of being “a White middle-class born and
raised teacher teaching other peoples’ children.” This awareness was enacted in the science classroom and emerges through
approaches to inquiry. Our interest in Ms. Cook’s journey grew out of discussions, including both informal and semi-structured interviews, in two
research projects over a three-year period. Our interest was further piqued as we analyzed videotaped classroom interaction
during science lessons and discovered connections between Ms. Cook’s reflections and classroom interaction. In this article,
we illustrate ways that her journey emerges as a conscientization. This, at least in part, shapes classroom interaction, which
then again shapes her conscientization in a recursive, dynamic relationship. We examine her reflections on her “hegemonic
(cultural and socio–economic) practices” and consider how these reflections help her reconsider such practices through analysis
of classroom interaction. Analyses lead us to considering the importance of inquiry within this classroom community.

Compatibility between cultural studies and conceptual change in science education: there is more to acknowledge than to fight straw men! 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In this response, we attempt to clarify our position on conceptual change, state our position on mental models being a viable
construct to represent learning, indicate important issues from the social cultural perspective that can inform our work on
conceptual change and lastly comment on issues that we consider to be straw men. Above all we argue that there is no best
theory of teaching and learning and argue for a multiple perspective approach to understanding science teaching and learning.

In this paper I respond to Ajay Sharma’s Portrait of a Science Teacher as a Bricoleur: A case study from India, by speaking to two aspects of the bricoleur: the subject and the discursive in relation to pedagogic perspective. I highlight
that our subjectivities are negotiated based on the desires of the similar and competing discourses we are exposed to, and
the political powers they hold in society. As (science) teachers we modify our practices based upon our own internal arbitrations
with discourses. I agree with Sharma that as teachers we are discursively produced, however, I suggest that what is missing
in the discussion of his paper is the historically socially constructed nature of science or science education itself. I advocate
that science education is not neutral, objective or unproblematic. Building on Gill and Levidow’s (Anti-racist science teaching,
1987) critique, it is precisely because we are socially constructed by the dominant hegemonic science education discourse
that we rarely articulate the underlying political or economic priorities of science; science’s appropriation of other cultural
ways of knowing; the way science theory has been, or is used to justify the oppression of peoples for political gain; the
central role science and technology play in the defensive, economic and political agendas of nations and multinational corporations
who fund science; the historical, and contemporary role science plays in rationalizing an exploitative ideological perspective
towards the more-than-human world and the natural environment; and finally, the alienating effect science has on students
when used as a ranking and sorting mechanism by educational systems. Therefore, we need to do what Mr. Raghuvanshi could not
imagine: we need to destabilize the foundations of science education by questioning inherent structural and ideological inequities.
Alison Sammel received her doctorate in 2005 for a study that used critical theory and feminist poststructuralism to analyse how five science teachers believed they incorporated critical forms of pedagogy in their high school science classrooms. Intrigued by the social construction of the ‘Western science teacher’ she continues to explore the teaching and learning of Science through the lens of feminist poststructuralism. Alison currently teaches at the School of Education and Professional Studies at Griffith University on the Gold Coast and researches in the fields of Science and Anti-oppressive pedagogies. Prior to her employment at Griffith University, Alison was employed as the Chair of Science Education at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was here she began working with local Indigenous communities to authentically incorporate Indigenous Ways of Knowing into Science Education. 相似文献

Wolff-Michael Roth Yew Jin Lee SungWon Hwang 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2008,3(2):231-261
Over the past three decades, science educators have accumulated a vast amount of information on conceptions––variously defined
as beliefs, ontologies, cognitive structures, mental models, or frameworks––that generally (at least initially) have been
derived from interviews about certain topics. During the same time period, cultural studies has emerged as a field in which
everyday social practices are interrogated with the objective to understand culture in all its complexity. Science educators
have however yet to ask themselves what it would mean to consider the possession of conceptions as well as conceptual change
from the perspective of cultural studies. The purpose of this article is thus to articulate in and through the analysis of
an interview about natural phenomenon the first principles of such a cultural approach to scientific conceptions. Our bottom-up
approach in fact leads us to develop the kind of analyses and theories that have become widespread in cultural studies. This
promises to generate less presupposing and more parsimonious explanations of this core issue within science education than
if conceptions are supposed to be structures inhabiting the human mind.

The work is published in leading journals of linguistics, social studies of science, sociology, and fields and subfields of education (curriculum, mathematics education, science education). His recent books include Toward an Anthropology of Science (Kluwer, 2003), Rethinking Scientific Literacy (Routledge, 2004, with A. C. Barton), Talking Science (Rowman and Littlefield, 2005), and Doing Qualitative Research: Praxis of Method (SensePublishers, 2005). Yew Jin Lee is an assistant professor of science education at the National Institute of Education, Singapore. He has completed his PhD with Roth and begun to establish an extensive publication record, including Participation, Learning, and Identity: Dialectical Perspectives (Roth et al. 2005). His work concerned knowing and learning in complex systems, that is, at individual and collective (institution, society) levels. SungWon Hwang is postdoctoral fellow at the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada. She conducts interdisciplinary research projects that articulate dialectic frameworks of learning and identity in the context of science and mathematics. She studied science education in Korea and migrated to adopting a range of philosophical, psychological, and sociological theories for the conceptualization of scientific practice from phenomenological and cultural perspectives. 相似文献

Elizabeth McKinley 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2008,3(4):959-975
The use of hybridity today suggests a less coherent, unified and directed process than that found in the Enlightenment science’s
cultural imperialism, but regardless of this neither concept exists outside power and inequality. Hence, hybridity raises
the question of the terms of the mixture and the conditions of mixing. Cultural hybridity produced by colonisation, under
the watchful eye of science at the time, and the subsequent life in a modern world since does not obscure the power that was
embedded in the moment of colonisation. Indigenous identities are constructed within and by cultural power. While we all live
in a global society whose consequences no one can escape, we remain unequal participants and globalisation remains an uneven
process. This article argues that power has become a constitutive element in our own hybrid identities in indigenous people’s
attempts to participate in science and science education. Using the indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand (called Māori)
as a site of identity construction, I argue that the move from being the object of science to the subject of science, through
science education in schools, brings with it traces of an earlier meaning of ‘hybridity’ that constantly erupts into the lives
of Māori women scientists.
