Operating Beyond Myths: Designing a Science School for African American Boys in a Myth-filled Teaching World
Abstract:Schools must rely on a sound theory to practice relationships in their design. This study documents one school’s attempt to design a science school for African American boys. Through a mixed methods study of pre- and post-year interviews and surveys, this study documented how their views changed during year 1. The authors discovered three myths about teaching African American boys that changed: (a) that teachers of the same race as students will improve performance. (b) that curriculum-focused professional development produced higher academic performance, and (c) that parent involvement is critical to school success. These results document how a limited research to practice understanding hindered the school’s ability to design a STEM school for African American boys.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
