Equity in Science Education
The research group in Equity in Science Education explores disciplinary cultures, spaces, participants’ engagement in science and the overarching structures in science education.
The research group Equity in Science Education engage in research that apply equity as a lens to understand the in- and exclusion mechanism of different pupils, students and teachers within science and engineering education. Our research strives to understand the disparities that transcend science practices, cultures and spaces.
We aim to make research that matters for science education practices in and out of schools. Therefore, based on our research, we seek close dialogue with fellow researchers, stakeholders, leaders, teachers, and organisations to support and develop ways and interventions to overcome injustices in science education.
Who are we?
We are a group of researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds covering geology, geography, chemistry, anthropology, philosophy, mathematics, social psychology, pedagogy and communication. Many of us have worked in science education for many years.
We draw on a range of primarily qualitative methods ranging from ethnographic fieldwork, timeline interviews, narrative interviews and arts based methods.
