Introducing original methods for integrating sociocultural and discourse studies into science and engineering education, this book provides a much-needed framework for how to conduct qualitative research in this field. The three dimensions of learning identified in the Next Generation Science Standards create a need for research methods that examine the sociocultural components of science education. With original studies and examples consistent with the NGSS standards, this book offers comprehensive research methods for integrating discourse and sociocultural practices in science and engineering education, and provides key tools for applying this framework for students, pre-service teachers, scholars, and researchers.

Industry Reviews

"Kelly and Green have developed insights and research methods to examine classroom discourse, and the book structure, organized around eight chapters illustrating specific methods, gives it an innovative nature, while the rigour and depth of the contributions anticipate that it will soon become a classic."
--From the Foreword by Maria Pilar Jimenez-Aleixandre, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain

"The text provides a unique opportunity to understand the combination of research lenses, tools, and decision-making when using large-scale video and qualitative data sets. The contributions include rigorous grounding in sociocultural traditions coupled with cutting edge of considerations of contemporary science and engineering learning settings."
-- Heidi Carlone, Hooks Distinguished Professor of STEM Education, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
