Weaved Journeys: Life Writings of Leading and Engagement in Science Education
Nkrumah, Tara M.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of South Florida
This study's purpose was to explore science engagement and in/equity through science educators' narratives of servant leadership at both the K-12 and higher education levels in the United States. The research question was: "How have participants become and led others to become engaged in science?" I took an arts-based approach using drawings and autobiographical data to initiate and create messages focused on becoming engaged in science education. The findings were that: (1) Participants helped marginalized students understand the culture of science through pedagogical strategies that connected self and science; (2) Participants recognized and countered systemic forms of oppression for students who are marginalized in science education through outreach in STEM; and (3) Participants offset disengagement in science among underserved groups through meaningful relationships and presented non-dominant examples of scientific inquiry. I discuss their implications for professional development and provide recommendations for future research concerning leadership/followership aimed at promoting science equity.
