2 days ago · Field biology courses can be formative learning experiences that develop students’ science identities. Yet, they can also pose challenges to students that may disaffirm their science identities—especially to those who identify with underrepresented, excluded, and minoritized groups. It is largely unknown how students’ social (e.g., gender) and personal (e.g., where they grew up ...
Oct 11, 2019 · Identity production is a complex process in which a person determines who he or she is via internal dialogue and sociocultural participation. Understanding identity production is important in biology education, because students’ identities impact classroom experiences and their willingness to persist in the discipline. Thus, we suggest that educators foster spaces where students can engage ...

Oct 11, 2019 · For example, Maria Rivera-Maulucci contended that an exploration of the links between emotions, identity, and social justice is especially important in science education because the interplay of emotions and identity “captures the ways in which our beliefs about the world, our school, our classroom, and science may conflict with how they are” (p. 125). In her study with an African-American ...

May 1, 2020 · From high school M4SJ, Calvin used the idea of mathematics as “real-to-his-life” to narrate his identity as a science learner who can use math to explore phenomena of interest to him. In the problem-based, reformed mathematics course, connections to real life were present (e.g., the physics of a Ferris wheel), but they were made for students by instructors and curricular materials.

Sep 22, 2022 · A major concern in science education is how to help students form science identity to increase their aspiration for STEM careers. Given the key role of experiences in individual’s science identity formation, STEM experiences related to project-based learning (PBL) have received increasing attention in recent years. The purpose of this study was to examine how high school students’ science ...

Jan 24, 2023 · In turn, when science identity is denaturalized, we can begin the important work of theorizing how and why science identity develops and what practices might prompt science identity work. Lens-toggling also helps researchers theorize how and why some youth’s STEM trajectories are smoother than others and how and why some practices promote more inclusive meanings of “science person” than ...
