Gray - Underserved Populations in Science Education

Meer over het boek

The book explores the correlation between academic language proficiency and science achievement among college anatomy students, particularly focusing on at-risk minority and language-minority students. Conducted at a community college in Central California, the study highlights how language barriers hinder learning in science. It examines various interventions, including Learning Communities that integrate academic language instruction, Peer-led Support sessions, and Cooperative Learning strategies, aiming to enhance educational outcomes for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
