Researchers who conduct ethnography in science education tend to
have a deep commitment for transforming science to improve the
lives of people in underserved communities. This edited volume
explores how contemporary ethnographers in science education bring
to light the local production of scientific knowledge and the ways
it is implicated in larger social and political struggles.
Ethnographies in science education contribute to understanding the
experiences of linguistically, racially, and economically diverse
populations who have been historically excluded from participation
in science. An anthropological approach has also been instrumental
in explicating the situated practices by which students enact
science in the classroom and in their lives beyond schools. This
edited volume brings together ethnographers in science education to
contribute a global perspective on science teaching and learning in
school and university classrooms, at home, and after school
programs. Included are examples of ethnography in science education
from the UK, Argentina, Canada, and the USA in which contributors
point to promising directions for theorizing the 'culture' of
science education as we undertake educational reform. The authors
in this volume argue that ethnography is not only a valid approach
for the study of science education, but also they contend that it
is essential to the development of more equitable practices for
instruction and learning. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Ethnography and Education.
