Won Jung Kim – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2025
Critical perspectives of science (CPS) elucidates science as a human endeavor that not only embodies the rigorous process of knowledge construction but also reflects the inherent flaws arising from unequal and unjust power relations among humans and between humans and nature. Science teachers need opportunities for self-examination to learn CPS…

Settlage, John; Moebus, Victoria; Cooney, Alanna – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2022
The tendency in urban schools is that teachers hold incomplete understandings about their students (by virtue of difference in cultural, race, language, and social class) is a lingering challenge since "Brown v. Board of Education" desegregated students in schools while also casting out large numbers of Black educators (Walker, 2013).…

The Dissonance between Scientific Evidence, Diversity and Dialogic Pedagogy in the Science Classroom
Mansour, Nasser – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This study explored the interplay between science teachers' pedagogical beliefs, scientific evidence, and diversity. This study adopts a sociocultural view of science that views science as a cultural way of knowing, and acknowledges that it is laden with cultural understandings, interpretations, and a language of its own. This paper reports…
