Inclusive Teaching in Science: Changing Culture and Practice
Davenport, Carol; Padwick, Annie
Primary Science, n166 p29-30 Feb 2021
In a recent survey of over 240 primary school children between the ages of 8 and 11, NUSTEM found that 75% of children said that they liked science and 63% said that they were good at science. However, when looking at the data by gender, there is a difference in enjoyment between girls and boys, with 71% of girls and 79% of boys saying that they liked science. Earlier NUSTEM surveys of children from primary and secondary schools showed that enjoyment of science overall decreases as children get older, but with a steeper decline for girls. In this article, Carol Davenport and Annie Padwick discuss how science teaching can be inclusive for all children in classrooms.
