Culture and Science Education

This edited book, containing 15 chapters from some of the leading figures in the field, aims to bring in voices, communities and perspectives that are not often presented in mainstream science education. Providing an international spread of contributions reflecting the field, includingAustralia, Canada, Chile, China, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and theUSA, it also includes research in areas where mainstream science education is sensitive to the complexities that a culturally inclusive education calls for. The book encourages academics and educators to think beyond the current science education paradigm that schools have adopted in many parts of the world.
