We leverage the unique context of the COVID-19 pandemic to shed light on these questions.

We take a relational approach to data literacy, examining how people na…

What role can technology play in cultivating a disciplinary stance — raising questions, planning investigations, interpreting data and constructing explanations in a way that reflects disciplinary values and principles?

A pattern language is a comprehensive set of design elements that integrates abstract and concrete levels of descri…

Are pedagogical prescriptions aimed at providing access and success to students of diverse backgrounds equally applicable across domains? I review cross-cultural cognitive research to depict defunct deficit and extant pluralistic approaches to diversity. I present 2 predominant approaches to multicultural education in science and situate them within …
