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.
This book builds upon the range of Indigenous theory and research
found in Volume I and applies these learnings to interventions in
schools, communities, teacher education and professional
development. It is part of a two-volume set 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. Authors working in Eurocentric settings of
schools and colleges—whether in the continental or island United
States, Canada, Thailand, Taiwan or Chuuk—utilize storytelling,
place, language and experiential learning to engage students in
meaningful, highly contextualized study that honors ancestral
knowledge and practices. They recognize that their disciplines have
been structured and colonized by Eurocentric/American frameworks
that lack storied, ethical contexts developed through living
sustainably in particular places. Recognizing that students seeking
to enter STEM majors and careers now must be knowledgeable in
multiple ways, authors describe innovative ways to immerse
precollege learners as well as developing and practicing teachers
in settings that intersect culture, place, heritage language, and
praxis that enable Indigenous and local knowledge to become central
to learning. Twenty-first century technologies of distance
learning, digital story-telling, and mapping technologies now
enable formerly marginalized, minoritized groups to share their
worldviews and systems of knowledge.
At a time of rapid demographic change and amidst the many
educational challenges facing the US, this critical new collection
presents mathematics education from a culturally responsive
perspective. It tackles the most crucial issues of teaching
mathematics to an ethnically diverse school population, including
the political dimension of mathematics education within the context
of governmental efforts to improve achievement in school
mathematics. Culturally Responsive Mathematics Education moves
beyond a point of view that is internal to mathematics education as
a discipline, and instead offers a broad perspective of mathematics
as a significant, liberating intellectual force in our society. The
editors of this volume bring together contributions from many of
the leading teachers, teacher educators, researchers, scholars, and
activists who have been working to reorient mathematics education
in ways that reflect mathematics education as accomplished, first
and foremost, through human interactions.
