This book explores ways in which systems of local knowledge,
culture, language, and place are foundational for STEM learning in
Indigenous communities. It is part of a two-volume set that
addresses a growing recognition that interdisciplinary,
cross-cultural and cross-hybrid learning is needed to foster
scientific and cultural understandings and move STEM learning
toward more just and sustainable futures for all learners.Â
Themes of learning from elders, through practice and place-based
experiences are found across cultures. Each chapter brings a
uniquely Indigenous point of view to the educational transformation
efforts taking place in these distinct contexts. In the
second section the chapters use authentic research stories to
explain many ways in which regular disciplinary
policies and practices can impact Indigenous students’
participation in STEM classrooms and careers. These authors go on
to discuss ways to engage learners in STEM activities that are
interconnected with the contexts of their lives.
