Abstract

AbstractThis essay uses a critical sociocultural perspective to examine Osborne's review of an essay written by Furtak and Penuel. This essay highlights dichotomous thinking and positivist/postpositivist perspective underpinning Osborne's discourse and argues that an integrative and inclusive orientation is more advantageous for science education researchers conducting research in an increasingly diverse world in demography and views. An integrative and inclusive approach to research requires an understanding and engagement with positionality, power associated with one's perceived or actual political and social location in a society.
