Science Education and Student Diversity

The purpose of the book is to synthesize recent research on K-12 science education for minority students and to propose a research agenda. It covers a range of methodological and theoretical perspectives. It also addresses important questions, such as the relation between science and culture. It highlights science education initiatives, interventions, or programs that have been successful with minority students. Currently there is no other work that has attempted to synthesize this body of research. This volume will be an invaluable resource for researchers and educators in this field.
