| Abstract | To date, science educators have not studied what students believe about the world, beliefs rooted and nurtured in students' socio-cultural environments. American society is increasingly pluralistic and there are several cultural subgroups traditionally underrepresented in science. A new approach is for American science educators to consider the possibility that science is a second culture experience for many students. Cultural studies in science education can contribute significantly to an understanding of the barriers to effective science education. It is important for science educators to understand the fundamental, culturally based beliefs about the world that students bring to class, and how these beliefs are supported by students' cultures; because science education is successful only to the extent that science can find a niche in the cognitive and socio-cultural milieu of students. The purpose of the research was to gain an understanding of high school students' fundamental beliefs about the world, and how their personal/cultural environments foster and support those beliefs. The methodology used was ethnographic, involving the extensive interviewing of students. The research also involved active high school science teachers as teacher-researchers. Interview sequences, tasks, and scope items are included. (JRM) |
