Collaborative Science Teaching and Learning Toward Social Transformation and Justice

Tue, April 21, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Science education historically and continues to marginalize youth of color and their communities’ rich ways of knowing and being. This paper session investigates ways to resist this deficit-oriented approach in an effort to support more justice-oriented science teaching and learning, including a focus on the collective community wisdom and brilliance of the various stakeholders -- students, parents, community members, and teachers -- with whom we work. These papers investigate collaborations within multiple settings outside of university settings. We highlight how collectively leveraging the multiple epistemologies supports more justice-oriented science teaching and learning for students, pre-service and in-service teachers and researchers. Stances, tools and approaches educational researchers can leverage with communities to recognize and leverage multiple forms of expertise are also shared.
