Morgado, Sofia; Leite, Laurinda; Dourado, Luís – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
Contextualised learning is required for learners to master successfully the 'big ideas' of science and to perceive the relevance of science education. Science curricula can either foster or impair teaching for contextualised learning depending on what science they plan to be taught and the way they recommend this to be done. This paper presents an…

Rutt, Alexis A.; Chang-Bacon, Chris K. – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2023
Among inequities faced by multilingual learners, engagement in science education is one of the most persistent. Research suggests leveraging students' full multilingual repertoires in science education can help address this gap. However, pervasive monolingual norms in schooling may impede multilingual engagement, impacting students' multilingual…
