Language practices associated with racially marginalized communities, such as African American Language (AAL) or Spanglish, are often heavily stigmatized. Such stigma is not grounded in empirical research on language, but rather in “raciolinguistic ideologies” that reproduce white supremacy and oppression in teacher education and in US classrooms—including science classrooms. Science education need not be this way, however. Translanguaging pedagogies can create space for students to use any and all types of languaging practices to engage in scientific sensemaking. Implementing translanguaging pedagogies to support scientific sensemaking will require science teachers to develop inclusive ideologies of language—not only the knowledge that multiple varieties of language are valid tools for sensemaking, but also the inclination and ability to formatively assess student thinking even when that thinking is not couched in canonical “science language.” In the present manuscript, we explore the relationships among teachers' language ideologies, their racial ideologies, their knowledge of language as an epistemic tool for teaching science, their self-reported assessment practices, and their actual responses to several different samples of student science writing—including a writing sample that includes an oft-stigmatized feature of African American Language. We show that teachers with more language-inclusive ideologies—that is, those who take a translanguaging stance, and thus value the use of AAL in classrooms—appear to be better at formatively assessing and responding to student science writing compared to teachers with more language-exclusive ideologies. We also show that seemingly race-neutral ideologies of language are in fact strongly associated with oppressive ideologies of race, and that these language ideologies predict teachers' science formative assessment practices independently of existing measures of pedagogical knowledge. We discuss implications for science teaching, teacher education, and science education research.</p>","PeriodicalId":48369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Science Teaching","volume":"62 1","pages":"228-269"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/tea.22011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focused on Syrian refugee youth adapting to learning science in English in the Lebanese multilingual educational system that esteems international languages (English or French) over Arabic. Our research questions included: (1) What translanguaging practices and functions emerge during a linguistically responsive life science unit designed for refugee multilingual learners? (2) How does a translanguaging space act as a third space for refugee learners to engage in meaning-making and science practices and discourse around the topic of “respiration”? The study utilized a qualitative instrumental case-study approach to generate data around refugee learners' languaging practices and their development of science understandings, practices, and discourse. We also engaged in participatory methodologies that challenge boundaries between researchers and participants. The data sources were 22 Zoom recordings, students' work, and participant-generated feedback. Thematic analysis was used to analyze transcripts and students' work while adhering to trustworthiness criteria. Our findings center translanguaging as a justice-oriented pedagogy that enables a productive and “inviting” third space for refugee multilingual learners to make meaning of phenomena by bringing together and extending their semiotic and epistemic repertoires. Serving multi-tiered functions, translanguaging fostered dialogic connections that affirmed students' “outside” social spaces as valuable resources for meaning-making in science classrooms.

Given her expertise in translanguaging, we asked if she would contribute a closing commentary. Noting our admiration of her and her colleagues' work over the past decade (García, &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;; García &amp; Kleyn, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;; García &amp; Li, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Otheguy et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;) and the ways it has impacted our thinking and areas of research, Dr. García humbly expressed, “All I have done in my work is to describe what I have seen and observed as a way to deconstruct what others have done before.” Mirroring her seemingly simple, yet powerful statement, our vision for this Special Issue is to foster space for critical conversations within our frequently siloed disciplinary communities, where scholars can share observations they have made as a means to decolonize, and transform perspectives around language and the experiences of language-minoritized individuals in science and engineering education (García et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Takeuchi et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Further, in response to the increased interest in and uptake of translanguaging theory and pedagogy in STEM education research (e.g., Jakobsson et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Pérez et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;), this Special Issue was born out of our desire to understand whether there is—or could be and/or should be—consensus around what it means to engage in translanguaging practices, frameworks, and scholarship in science and engineering education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The manuscripts in this Special Issue capture the different and robust ways in which translanguaging as theory and as pedagogy have been taken up by science and engineering researchers and educators from around the world who are working across grade levels and learning environments. From high school science classrooms in the Midwestern US (Bonilla &amp; Morales-Doyle, this issue) to out-of-school science programs for refugees in Lebanon (Salloum, Debs, &amp; BouJaoude, this issue) to kindergartners in Luxembourg (Siry, Wilmes, &amp; Sportelli, this issue), these articles invite us to reckon with science and engineering education from a perspective that centers what individuals from language-minoritized backgrounds &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; capable of doing, figuring out, and understanding when their language-related resources and practices are viewed in expansive ways (González-Howard et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). In particular, the manuscripts highlight the brilliance and experiences of individuals who identify, or are identified, as multilingual because they use multiple named languages (e.g., Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin) in addition to English (González-Howard &amp; Suárez, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;), or as multidialectal because they use multiple varieties of the same named language (e.g., African American Vernacular English, Black English, Garifuna, and Caribbean Spanglish) (Baker-Bell, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Degraff","PeriodicalId":48369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Science Teaching","volume":"62 1","pages":"3-14"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/tea.22010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for science education.

Furthermore, progress on pedagogical practice depends on both the ability to notice one's perceptions and engage in opportunities to experience and reflect on new instructional approaches. To date, there are few professional development experiences explored in literature that explicitly aim to enhance teachers' awareness and pedagogical practice regarding the use and facilitation of student scientific uncertainty. As such, this qualitative study follows a group of 11 middle school science teachers before and after participating in a week-long practice-based professional development (P-BPD) specifically designed to foster teachers' ability to use student uncertainty as a pedagogical resource. Interviews were conducted and analyzed prior to the P-BPD, immediately after the P-BPD, and the year following to measure shifts in perceptions over time. Additionally, classroom practice was observed both before and the year following the P-BPD. Overall, we found that teachers' awareness of how to use student scientific uncertainty grew both in their expressed perceptions and in their observed classroom enactment. After engaging in the P-BPD, many teachers expressed an enhanced awareness of the productive potential uncertainty can have, as well as increased understanding of potential sources and responses to student uncertainty. Additionally, in the post-implementation observations, most of the teachers demonstrated more diverse use of uncertainty navigation strategies, intentionally raising, maintaining, and reducing scientific uncertainty more often. Teachers were observed using student ideas and uncertainties to drive the trajectory of their lessons more consistently. Notably, we report counterexamples for teachers who demonstrated less or no shifts in perceptions or practice. Furthermore, teachers explicitly identified experiences from the P-BPD that fostered shifts in both their perceptions and practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":48369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Science Teaching","volume":"62 6","pages":"1580-1616"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144673036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the studies of sensemaking are loosely linked to those of scientific reasoning, however, they have provided little practical insight into how students can make scientific sense, rather than any sense, of natural phenomena. Therefore, in this position paper, we discuss the close relationship between sensemaking and abduction. Sensemaking refers to a prolonged process of resolving a gap or inconsistency in current knowledge and understanding by constructing an explanation of a phenomenon. Abduction is a form of scientific reasoning to generate explanatory hypotheses about the evidence embedded in a phenomenon based on available resources. Abduction can play a crucial role in sensemaking by providing a mechanism for generating a plausible explanation of a target phenomenon and should be adapted for science teaching and learning for students' sensemaking through engagement in science practices. In particular, to develop scientific sensemaking in students, the teacher should help students identify critical evidence, provide students with critical resources, and encourage students to use the method of multiple working hypotheses, so that the students can construct scientifically sound and valid explanations of natural phenomena. It is suggested that further research explore and collect exemplary cases of science teachers effectively supporting students to achieve scientific sensemaking through abduction.</p>","PeriodicalId":48369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Science Teaching","volume":"62 6","pages":"1425-1451"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144673033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A main premise in school-based citizen science is that through their participation, students and teachers make meaningful contributions to the advancement of science. However, such initiatives may encounter difficulties in drawing on students' and teachers' knowledge and incorporating their voice in research processes and outcomes, partly due to established knowledge hierarchies in both science and schools. This research theoretically examines misuses of students' and teachers' knowledge in school-based citizen science that can be defined as an epistemic injustice. This term describes wrongful evaluations and considerations of people's knowledge or perspectives. Based on existing theoretical work on epistemic injustice, we first map out epistemic justifications for public participation in science and discuss deficiencies in current forms of citizen science that lead to the perseverance of epistemic injustice. Then, we identify and characterize four forms through which epistemic injustice may be manifested in school-based citizen science. Our theoretical analysis is complemented by illustrative examples from citizen science projects enacted in schools, demonstrating cases where epistemic injustice toward students and teachers was either instigated or mitigated. We discuss implications toward educational goals and the design of school-based citizen science, suggesting that epistemic injustice can be reduced or avoided by delegating authorities to schools, maximizing teacher and student agency, and leveraging schools' community connections.
