The Dangerous Discourse of Invisibility: A Critique of the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards.
Rodriguez, Alberto J.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v34 n1 p19-37 Jan 1997
Argues that the National Science Education Standards uses a discourse of invisibility to lay out its reform for science education and does not directly address ethnic, socioeconomic, gender, and theoretical issues. Proposes that the standards ought to provide arguments and evidence in support of the reasons why equity should be a guiding principle in reform. Contains 34 references. (Author/JRH)
