29.081 - Decolonizing Research Methodologies in Science Education

Fri, April 17, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Fourth Level, Armitage

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session brings together international scholars from six different countries interested in sharing the challenges and successes of conducting science education research in the complex, and often contradictory, contexts in which we do our work with the Other. From working with young children, to working with teachers and student teachers, to exposing colonial research funding policies, these papers interrogate colonial, masculine and taken-for-granted assumptions that continue to undermine the advancement of our field. The interactive format of the symposium aims to engage participants in a productive conversation that will evoke reflection and promote transformative change.
