Rather than accepting this deficit perspective, \u003ci\u003eImproving Urban Science Education\u003c\/i\u003e strives to recognize and understand the successes that exist there by systematically documenting seven years of research into issues salient to teaching and learning in urban high school science classes. Grounded in the post structuralism of William Sewell-and brought to life through the experiences of different students, teachers, and school settings in Philadelphia-this book shows how teachers and students can work together to enact meaningful science education when social and cultural differences as well as inappropriate curricula often make the challenges seem insurmountable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapters contain rich images of urban youth and each strives to offer insights into problems and suggestions for resolving them. Most significant, in spite of the challenges, the research offers hope and shows that fresh approaches to teaching and learning can lead students-some who have already been pronounced academic, even societal, failures-to becoming avid and deep learners of science.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenneth Tobin\u003c\/b\u003e is Presidential Professor in The Graduate Center at The City University of New York. \u003cb\u003eRowhea Elmesky\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor at Washington University. \u003cb\u003eGale Seiler\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53054607818976,"sku":"9780742537057","price":136.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/xPvl4b_OlA9780742537057.webp?v=1781299395","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/improving-urban-science-education-new-roles-for-teachers-students-and-researchers-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
