A qualifying paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Education. Abstract: The aim of this review is to explore the question of whose Discursive practices count within primary science education and science education research. To examine this question, this review situates science Discursive practices within the dichotomous ... read morerelationship of dominant and non-dominant and uses these categories to theorize, examine, and challenge the ways that race and racism implicitly and explicitly impact school views of scientific thinking and knowledge. The goal of this exploration is to advocate for the implementation of alternative methods of study and analysis when investigating the Discursive practices of children from communities of color, particularly within the context of design-based science activities. With the increased recognition of design-based science as a pedagogical approach to teaching science, I contend that the experiences of all children need to be investigated in order to develop a more complete theory of design-based science teaching and learning. Designing explorations into what these children bring to design-based science activities will assist in the process of ensuring academic success for all students.read less
