| Abstract: | Even during an era of cultural globalization where diversity, hybridity, and heterogeneity prevail, educational institutions
remain unchanged and economically and racially marginalized students continue to experience a sense of exclusion in school.
Whereas the science education community often addresses such exclusion in terms of the achievement gap or the lack of materials
and qualified teachers in urban schools, there are also more subtle ways in which these students remain as outsiders to the
culture of science. The study highlights how the acceptance and affordance of students’ cultural capital can encourage a sense
of belonging with school science. Specifically, this paper contributes to the literature by sharing longitudinal findings
that reveal students’ skills of orality, in the form of rap practices, can be rich resources for developing creolized forms
of school science, and how rap creates entryways for students to form and reform hybridized identities in which canonical
science discourse and lyrics about non-science subjects can begin to emerge in integrated, fluid and seamless manners. |
