Science learning, for many, is often seen as learning a culture of
science knowledge and practices that is incongruent from one’s
everyday experiences and cultural background of learners. This edited
volume presents a systemic view of the current initiatives and
challenges for the inclusion of culturally responsive science pedagogy
(CRSP) in non-Western and multicultural contexts in three Asian
countries – Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. Split into three parts,
the book examines the history and current educational systems,
curriculums and sociocultural diversities in each country, offering an
updated review of equity in education. It reflects and expands on the
role of CRSP in diverse societies before going into case studies that
feature the experiences of teachers in implementing CRSP in Malaysia,
Indonesia and Japan. These snapshots reflect the multiple ways equity
is addressed in the teaching and learning of science in these Asian
countries, allowing readers to extrapolate the possible challenges and
best practices for designing and implementing CRSP in practice. The
final section examines how these findings provide a sustainable
platform for building capacity in understanding the cultural
complexities and realities of recruiting and retaining diverse
students into science. One of few books to investigate the role of
CRSP in diverse societies in Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan, this book
makes a unique contribution to the field of science education with
reference to culturally responsive pedagogy. Its strategies and
solutions serve as an important comprehensive reference for
researchers and science teacher educators.
