Abstract:
This paper provides an investigation of the relationships between boys’ science identity/ies and their literacy practices. We draw on a case study of middle school boys living and learning in two different regions (e.g. metropolitan, rural) where we focus on how boys conceive of themselves as learners in two curriculum areas: science and literacy. Bridging multiple areas of scholarship (e.g., science literacy, science identity, boys in schooling), we concentrate on the participants’ self-belief in science and self-belief as readers and consider the way they inform each other in reference to place.
Keywords:
