Equity Issues in Science Education

  • Chapter
Understanding Girls

Abstract

The International Handbook of Science Education was commissioned by Kluwer Academic Publishers for their handbook series which was edited by Barry Fraser and Kenneth Tobin. These two editors invited me to take responsibility for editing one of the ten sections in the handbook. This was the section on equity. They also invited me to write the lead article for this section. As such, this article was not a study but a review of the literature in science education.
