Abstract: | Overall, too few science teachers are being prepared in this country, and ethnic minority students are rarely enrolling in
science teacher education programs. Thus, it is particularly important that multicultural education be included in science
teacher education programs. I do not believe that science teacher educators will be able to prepare significantly more minority
science teachers in the near future to teach the growing number of minority students in schools. Consequently, science teacher
education programs must begin producing multicultural teachers. If we do not, then millions of children will not receive an
adequate science education, let alone a good one. |
