Same School, Separate Worlds: A Sociocultural Study of Identity, Resistance, and Negotiation in a Rural, Lower Track Science Classroom.
Gilbert, Andrew; Yerrick, Randy
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v38 n5 p574-98 May 2001
Examines how rural, lower track, underrepresented students made sense of their place in school and what role school science played in their cultural reproduction. Aims to identify key components of science classroom discourse, analyze means of negotiating these components, and explicate participants' beliefs and roles in defining microcultural identities specific to the rural, underrepresented school context. (Contains 49 references.) (Author/YDS)
