Abstract

As the world becomes increasingly rooted in all forms of inequities, so does the need to fight its causatives. This study is concerned with ensuring that science education serves to reinforce gender equity against traditional narratives. We explored the potency of culturo‐techno‐contextual approach (CTCA) in leveling the playing field while promoting meaningful learning of chemistry among male and female students. Two separate quasi‐experimental studies were conducted on two perceived difficult topics in chemistry—nuclear chemistry and electrochemistry using senior secondary school two (equivalent of grade 11 in the United States system) students (NStudy 1 = 221, NStudy 2 = 141). In each study, the experimental groups were taught using CTCA, while the control groups were taught with lecture method. The research design was explanatory and sequential with a quasi‐experimental framework. The nuclear chemistry achievement test and the electrochemistry achievement test that were used to collect data had a reliability coefficient of 0.83 and 0.76, respectively. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the quantitative data, while the qualitative data used a thematic approach. The studies found no significant difference in the achievement (post‐posttest) of the male and female students. Within the study limits, we concluded that CTCA is a viable tool for bridging the gender difference in chemistry learning.
我是黑人,我是女童,我还能成为科学家吗?
随着世界日益根深蒂固地存在各种形式的不平等,我们也有必要消除不平等的根源。本研究关注的是确保科学教育有助于加强性别平等,反对传统叙事。我们探讨了文化-技术-情境教学法(CTCA)在促进男女学生有意义地学习化学的同时,在公平竞争中的作用。我们以高中二年级(相当于美国的 11 年级)的学生(研究 1 = 221 人,研究 2 = 141 人)为对象,对化学中的两个难点--核化学和电化学--进行了两项独立的准实验研究。在每项研究中,实验组采用 CTCA 教学法,对照组采用讲授法。研究设计采用解释性和顺序性的准实验框架。用于收集数据的核化学成绩测验和电化学成绩测验的信度系数分别为 0.83 和 0.76。定量数据采用协方差分析法,定性数据则采用专题分析法。研究发现,男女学生的成绩(后测)没有明显差异。在研究范围内,我们认为 CTCA 是弥合化学学习中性别差异的可行工具。
