Abstract

This capstone project examines one educator’s response to the word hemegony and her understanding of Culturally Responsive pedagogy. It defines Culturally Responsive pedagogy and considers the implications, within the science curriculum, for both Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal students. The capstone project explores both Western European and Aboriginal Epistemologies and presents a middle ground to consider. It acknowledges challenges educators may face while fostering Culturally Responsive pedagogy within their practice. The project explores possible materials and Aboriginal resources available to educators to support this pedagogy. Finally, it suggests areas for further research and provides recommendations to consider.
