Abstract

The field of science education is increasingly centering social justice and equity goals. Yet in terms of priorities, practices, and underlying knowledge bases, there often remains a crevasse between equity- and content-oriented goals and their actualization in science teaching, learning, and policy. We bring together scholars who address this crevasse in their research, asking: How can equity- and content-oriented learning goals come together in ways that push beyond a simple bridge between them—in ways that push beyond improving “access” or “inclusion” (Calabrese Barton & Tan, 2020)—towards actually narrowing the crevasse? The eleven posters in this session represent different approaches that span K-16 as well as diverse science disciplines, providing a unique opportunity for cross-talk across developmental and disciplinary contexts.
