Identity development in pre-service teachers who are Explainers in a science center: Dialectically developing theory and praxis

January 1, 2009 | Public Programs, Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks

This dissertation investigates how teaching in a hands-on science center contributes to re-shaping one’s teaching identity. Situated at the New York Hall of Science (NYHS) in Queens, New York, my research approach is to conduct a critical ethnography where the focus is on improving the teaching and learning of science for all involved. In particular, Explainers, floor staff at NYHS, who are studying to be science teachers, are invited to become co-researchers with me.
