Beyond "Dangers" and "Hardships": An Asset-Based Exploration of a Resettled Refugee Student's Interest and Experience in Science
Pedagogies: An International Journal, v19 n4 p612-627 2024
The purpose of this study was to use an asset-based approach to explore a resettled refugee student's interests and experiences at home after her family had resettled in a U.S. city. The qualitative data collected from the focal participant included field notes from home visits, video recordings of family conversations, drawings and texts created by the participant, and informal conversations. Although the focal participant's family members had experienced hardships during their refugee journey and before their resettlement, the findings focused on how the participant's present experiences related to her interests and how different forms of Yosso's community cultural wealth capital were represented in her narratives. Recommendations for children's literature and the education of resettled refugee children are also discussed.
