This article presents a metalogue discussion about the two focus articles and the six associated review essays on the topic
of conceptual change as it applies to research, and science teaching and learning in museum settings. Through the lenses of
a sociocultural perspectives of learning we examine the applicability of the ideas presented in the forum for museums and
museum educators. First we reflect on the role that emotions can play in concept development; second, we reflect on the role
of language, talk, and gestures to concept development and conceptual change in the short-lived nature of experiences and
conversations in museums; and third, we consider the nature of objects as representations of science content in museum settings.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her
2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez’s work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches
to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves
as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with
marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

In this response to commentaries by Ali Sammel, Jhumki Basu and Alberto Rodriguez, I present my perspective on three important
issues raised by the commentators. These issues relate to the role of a researcher in her field settings and society, the
critique of science and science education as oppressive dominant discourses, and co-opting participants as researchers. I
argue that researchers should work actively for progressive change in discursive fields such as educational research, in which
they are firmly embedded rather than playing an interventionist role in field settings where their discursive positionality
maybe temporary and not that rooted. Regarding the critique of science and science education, my response favors a perspective
wherein an understanding of the marginalization and oppression of non-western communities caused by western science and science
education is counterbalanced by an appreciation of the ways in which marginalized communities can use science and science
education for affecting progressive change. Lastly, I recognize the value of co-opting participants in writing and communication
of research.

This article highlights the transformative contributions of Mary Monroe Atwater to the field of science education. Influenced
by worldviews shaped by a segregated macro-society and the privileges of a micro-society, Mary stood against oppression in
the early years of her academic career by desegregating academic settings and being the first and only African American in
varied arenas for many years. As an aspiring academic, Mary challenged dominant paradigms and as an activist academic, she
changed the landscape of science education. She broadened the knowledge base through scholarship and praxis and diversified
the science education community through personal and professional efforts that were pioneering in nature.
Eileen Carlton Parsons is an assistant professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The contexts in which the science teaching and learning of African Americans occur constitute the core of her research interests. She examines the educative process with respect to culture and race. 相似文献

In this article I initially borrow a metaphor from an art exhibition, Ocean to Outback, as a way to express my perspective on the contribution that Léonie Rennie has made to science education in Australia. I
then consider Léonie’s contributions as overlapping themes. In particular, Léonie’s well-known research on gender and issues
of equity in science education is explored as well as her highly regarded work on learning science in out-of-school settings.
Curriculum integration is a less well-known aspect of Léonie’s research that also is considered. Léonie’s important contributions
to research training and policy in science education are briefly described and commented on. Finally, I return to the metaphor
of Ocean to Outback that reflects the enormity of the contribution that Léonie has made but also gives insight into her personal journey and
qualities.

The article explores the role of immigrant parents in middle school science as both teachers and learners as part of an urban
middle school curriculum, the Linking in Food and the Environment (LiFE) program. The curriculum engaged parents as partners
with science teachers to teach science through food. Over a 2-year period, parents attended a series of bilingual workshops,
collaborated with classroom teachers, managed activities, guided student inquiry, and assisted in classroom management. The
following study analyzes the role of culture, language, and identity as four mothers navigated their position as ‘insiders’
in a science classroom.

This article examines Mary Budd Rowe’s groundbreaking and far-reaching contributions to science education. Rowe is best known
for her research on wait-time: the idea that teachers can improve the quality and length of classroom discussions by waiting
at least 3 s before and after student responses. Her wait-time research grew from and helped inform her staunch advocacy of
science education as inquiry; Rowe saw wonder and excitement as central to the teaching and learning of science. She spent
much of her professional life designing professional development experiences and innovative curriculum materials to help teachers,
particularly elementary school teachers, enact inquiry in their classrooms.

In this paper, I consider the relevance of the view of cognitive existentialism to a multi-gendered picture of science education.
I am opposing both the search for a particular feminist standpoint epistemology and the reduction of philosophy of science
to cultural studies of scientific practices as championed by supporters of postmodern political feminism. In drawing on the
theory of gender plurality and the conception of dynamic objectivity, the paper suggests a way of treating the nexus between
the construction of gender within the interrelatedness of scientific practices and the constitution of particular objects
of inquiry. At stake is the notion of characteristic hermeneutic situation which proves to be helpful in designing a multi-gendered
pedagogy as well.

In his December editorial on Michael Reiss, Kenneth Tobin (Cult Stud Sci Educ 3:793–798, 2008), raises some very important questions for science and science teachers regarding science education and the teaching of creationism
in the classroom. I agree with him that students’ creationist ideologies should be treated not as misconceptions but as worldviews.
Because of creationism’s peculiarly strong political links though, I argue that such discussion must address three critical
and interconnected issues, including the uncertain state of teaching evolution in public schools nationally, the political
convergence of the creationist political beliefs with bigoted worldviews, and creationism’s inherent contrariness to science
and human progress. I suggest that we as science educators therefore not consider all sides to be equally right and to instead
take side against the politics of creationism. I also argue that we need much more serious discussion on how to better teach
science to students who hold creationist worldviews, and that science educators such as Reiss need to be part of that.

Nondeterminism is a fundamental concept in computer science that appears in various contexts such as automata theory, algorithms
and concurrent computation. We present a taxonomy of the different ways that nondeterminism can be defined and used; the categories
of the taxonomy are domain, nature, implementation, consistency, execution and semantics. An historical survey shows how the
concept was developed from its inception by Rabin & Scott, Floyd and Dijkstra, as well as the interplay between nondeterminism
and concurrency. Computer science textbooks and pedagogical software are surveyed to determine how they present the concept;
the results show that the treatment of nondeterminism is generally fragmentary and unsystematic. We conclude that the teaching
of nondeterminism must be integrated through the computer science curriculum so that students learn to see nondeterminism
both in terms of abstract mathematical entities and in terms of machines whose execution is unpredictable.

Physics education reform movements should pay attention to feminist analyses of gender in the culture of physics for two reasons.
One reason is that feminist analyses contribute to an understanding of a ‘chilly climate’ women encounter in many physics
university departments. Another reason is that feminist analyses reveal that certain styles of doing science are predominant
in the culture of physics. I introduce recent philosophical work in social epistemology to argue that the predominance of
certain styles of doing science is not good for science. Scientific communities would benefit from greater diversity in styles
of doing science.

In modern mathematical teaching, it has become increasingly emphasized that mathematical knowledge should be taught by problem-solving,
hands-on activities, and interactive learning experiences. Comparing the ideas of modern mathematical education with the development
of ancient Chinese mathematics, we find that the history of mathematics in ancient China is an abundant resource for materials
to demonstrate mathematics by hands-on manipulation. In this article I shall present two cases that embody this idea of a
hands-on approach in ancient Chinese mathematics, at the same time offering an opportunity to show how to utilize materials
from the history of Chinese math in modern mathematical education.

Research on teacher identities is both important and increasing. In this forum contribution I re-interpret assertions about
an African American science teacher’s identities in terms of Jonathon Turner’s (2002) constructs of role identity and sub-identity. I contest the notion of renegotiation of identities, suggesting that particular
role identities can be brought to the foreground and then backgrounded depending on the situation and the need to confirm
a sub-identity. Finally, I recommend the inclusion of teachers’ voices in identity research through greater use of co-authoring
roles for teachers.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

This response draws from the literature on adaptive learning, traditional ecological knowledge, and social–ecological systems
to show that Brad’s choice is not a simple decision between traditional ecological knowledge and authentic science. This perspective
recognizes knowledge systems as dynamic, cultural and historical activities characterized by diverse worldviews and ways of
constructing and legitimizing knowledge. Brad’s decision is seen as an example of adaptive learning, identity development
and personal/collective agency oriented to increasing tribal influence in resource management decisions and policies. I will
conclude that science literacy for all is not served by a transcendent, universal, Western modern view of science.

This metalogue addresses the ways Sreyashi Jhumki Basu mediated our practices in science education and life. We focus on Basu’s
uses of critical science agency, democratic science classrooms, and critical feminist ethnography to transform the possibilities
for all participants in her research and educational practices. We also examine her use of cases and pedagogical strategies
to support youth set practice goals based on conceptions of self and preferred learning trajectories. These strategies allow
youth to develop power through the use of disciplinary knowledge and modes of inquiry to support their understanding of themselves
as powerful, able to change their position in the world, and make the world more socially just. This (Key Contributors) article
acknowledges a life cut short through disease, reflects our personal loss of a friend and colleague, and expresses determination
to ensure that her contributions to science education are sustained and continued.
