‘A World Where Many Worlds Fit’ : De-Biasing and Critical Consciousness With A Focus On STEM Identity Development For All Students In Physics Education Ecosystems As Pluriverses
Modern education systems typically shall enable participation and social mobility for all students. However, physics education is characterised by historically grown inequalities along various dimensions, for example more male enter physics-related careers compared to their female on non-binary peers. Even worse, these inequalities tend to reproduce themselves, for example through the mechanism of vulnerability due to under-representation towards a lack of recognition of students. In order to break the vicious cycle of reproduction of historically grown inequalities, active structural intervention is needed. In the four presented pieces of scholarship, two central providers of recognition for students are focused: teachers and artificial intelligence algorithms which are used more and more in physics education contexts. The concrete questions asked in the four pieces of scholarship are informed by the greater challenge to provide evidence that informs the design of physics education ecosystems that invite all students.
