Kris Gutiérrez: designing with and for diversity in the learning sciences
Abstract
This article reviews the significance of the theoretical and practical contributions of Kris Gutiérrez to research on science education. Gutierrez’s ideas about design and equity have inspired scholars to investigate how to leverage learners’ everyday practices to make meaningful connections to disciplinary-based knowledge and skills. Her work has provided valuable direction on how to engage the challenges of organizing for more equitable futures through critical understanding of cultural diversity as a resource for transformative learning.
