| Abstract | The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to compare the world view of students of the Traditional Kickapoo Tribe, the most culturally conservative Native American group in the United States, with the world view encountered in the science classroom. This qualitative study investigated world view expressed in science instruction by conducting periodic observations in two classrooms over a 9-month period, teacher interviews, and text evaluations. To define student world view, 28 students in grades 5-9 were engaged in science activities at the reservation and interviewed singularly and in groups. Adult Native Americans were interviewed and asked to reflect on the educational and cultural norms of the students. A variable-oriented analysis revealed strong differences in epistemology, preferred methods of teaching/learning, values, structural orientation, and perspective of the place of humans in the natural world. Strong differences between teachers and students were also observed in prior knowledge, cultural rules for behavior and language patterns. Worldview investigations may help us understand the problems of Native American students in the science classroom. Contains 90 references. (Author) |
