We engage in a metalogue based on eight papers in this issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education that review the state of conceptual change research and its possible affect on the teaching and learning of science. Our
discussion addresses three aspects of conceptual change research: theoretical, methodological, and practical, as we discuss
conceptual change research in light of our experiences as science educators. Finally, we examine the implications of conceptual
change research for the teachers and students with whom we work.

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.

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.

A lack of congruency between the teaching and learning of science and the student’s personal worlds has long been recognised
by the international science education community as an issue deserving space in the research agenda. The purpose of this study
was to explore the diversity of student reactions when subcultures such as family, community peers, and personal worldviews
are considered along side the subculture of school science. Two-hundred and fifty students from urban and provincial schools
in the northeastern region of Colombia (South America) participated. From this group, 18 students were interviewed. It was
observed that students adopt a compartmentalisation of knowledge that is evident as both an avoiding strategy in the classroom
and as a mechanism to differentiate between the natural world of their everyday situations and the one portrayed by a Westernised
science instruction in the classroom. The findings reflect how multiple worldviews correlate with student frameworks as implanted
by school science.

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.

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.

Science educators have yet to identify ways to enable inner city African American high school students to experience success
in science. In this paper, we argue that understanding the ways in which cultural practices from fields outside of school
mediate what happens inside classrooms and contribute to the learning of students is crucial to addressing current disparities
in science performance. Specifically, we explore the significance of movement expressiveness dispositions to the lives and
the learning of economically disadvantaged African American youth. These particular dispositions have been repeatedly observed
in our research, and they can be important resources for the creation of individual emotional energy, collective solidarity,
and heightened engagement in learning activities since they provide resources for the (re)shaping of identity. Thus movement
expressiveness dispositions hold potential for transforming the teaching and learning of these students.

Developing Science Pedagogical Content Knowledge Through Mentoring Elementary Teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Ken Appleton 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2008,19(6):523-545
Elementary teachers are typically hesitant to teach science. While a limited knowledge of science content is a reason for
this, limited science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has emerged as another reason in recent research. This study constitutes
two case studies of a professional development program for elementary teachers involving mentoring by a university professor.
The mentor took the role of a critical friend in joint planning and teaching of science. The study examines the nature of
the mentoring relationship and reports the type of teacher learning that occurred, with a particular focus on the teachers’
development of science PCK.

Science education reforms promote access to quality science education for all students. Outcome disparities in various measures
indicate that such access remains elusive for African Americans. Cultural incongruence is one among many explanations for
this previously described inaccessibility. The intent of this article is not to report additional research findings, but to
translate the information provided in the literature into an instructional form that science teacher educators can employ
in the preparation of prospective science teachers or the further development of practicing ones. Pivoting around a role play,
the authors discuss communication within African American communities, its incongruence with the discourse patterns typically
valued and reinforced in school science, and the importance of such knowledge for science teacher educators.

The Impact of an Engineering Design Curriculum on Science Reasoning in an Urban Setting 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Eli M. Silk Christian D. Schunn Mari Strand Cary 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2009,18(3):209-223
This study examines the use of engineering design to facilitate science reasoning in high-needs, urban classrooms. The Design
for Science unit utilizes scaffolds consistent with reform science instruction to assist students in constructing a design
solution to satisfy a need from their everyday lives. This provides a meaningful context in which students could reason scientifically.
Eighth grade students from two urban schools participated in the unit. Both schools contained large percentages of racial/ethnic
minority and economically disadvantaged students. Students demonstrated statistically significant improvement on a paper-and-pencil,
multiple-choice pre and post assessment. The results compare favorably with both a high-quality inquiry science unit and a
traditional textbook curriculum. Implications for the use of design-based curricula as a viable alternative for teaching science
reasoning in high-needs, urban settings are discussed.

More than a conversation: using cogenerative dialogues in the professional development of high school chemistry teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sonya N. Martin Kathryn Scantlebury 《Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability》2009,21(2):119-136
This paper focuses on content-based and pedagogical instructors’ use of cogenerative dialogues to improve instructional practice
and to evaluate program effectiveness in a professional development program for high school chemistry teachers. We share our
research findings from using cogenerative dialogues as an evaluative tool for general assessment of various program-related
issues. We discuss how engaging students in cogenerative dialogues improved teaching and learning in chemistry and chemistry
education courses. This research provides insights and direction for improving content-based professional development programs
for science teachers and the learning experiences of high school science students. Cogenerative dialogue has the potential
to expand evaluation methodologies that will position participants more centrally in not only the collection of data, but
also the analysis of these data to catalyze transformative practices in educational programs.

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.

In this rejoinder to Bryan Brown and John Reveles, we highlight the facts that (a) sociocultural theories of learning do not
go far enough because they fail to address a number of issues and (b) we require concepts such as power and positionality
to understand science learning.
