Summary:

<P>Introducing original methods for integrating sociocultural and discourse studies into science and engineering education, this book provides a much-needed framework for how to conduct qualitative research in this field. The three dimensions of learning identified in the <EM>Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)</EM> create a need for research methods that examine the sociocultural components of science education. With cutting-edge studies and examples consistent with the <EM>NGSS</EM>, this book offers comprehensive research methods for integrating discourse and sociocultural practices in science and engineering education and provides key tools for applying this framework for students, pre-service teachers, scholars, and researchers.</P>
