Broadening participation in scientific fields, conceptually, is about enhancing the involvement and academic outcomes of underrepresented groups at all levels of education. In recent decades the American Association of Geographers (AAG) and geography departments have collaboratively worked to increase the representation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities among undergraduate students, graduate students, and the academic and nonacademic professional workforce. Efforts to broaden participation in geography are ongoing, yet mostly continue to exclude K–12 educators and students. Using multiple data sets provided by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), this article examines the extent to which students in secondary education are acquiring knowledge representing the distinctive substance and thought processes of geography. NAEP item maps for different student groups were created to analyze varying levels of competency over geography subject matter. Results indicate most students do not know enough geography to think geographically at a high level of proficiency, with persisting achievement gaps associated with race, gender, and other student characteristics. Social disparities in geography achievement are symptomatic of widespread and systemic barriers to geography’s powerful epistemic knowledge, underscoring the need for geographers to adopt a comprehensive research-based strategy for broadening participation that bridges K–12 and postsecondary education.

地理成就与未来地理学家

从概念上讲,扩大对科学领域的参与是关于加强各级教育中代表性不足的群体的参与和学术成果。近几十年来,美国地理学家协会 (AAG) 和地理系一直通力合作,以增加女性、少数民族和残疾人在本科生、研究生以及学术和非学术专业劳动力中的代表性。扩大地理参与的努力正在进行中,但大多数继续将 K-12 教育工作者和学生排除在外。使用国家教育进步评估 (NAEP) 提供的多个数据集,本文考察了中等教育学生在多大程度上获得了代表地理学独特实质和思维过程的知识。为不同的学生群体创建了 NAEP 项目图,以分析不同水平的地理主题能力。结果表明,大多数学生对地理的了解不足,无法以高水平的熟练程度进行地理思考,并且与种族、性别和其他学生特征相关的成绩差距持续存在。地理学成就的社会差异是地理学强大认知知识广泛存在和系统性障碍的征兆,强调地理学家需要采用基于研究的综合战略来扩大参与,将 K-12 和高等教育联系起来。为不同的学生群体创建了 NAEP 项目图,以分析不同水平的地理主题能力。结果表明,大多数学生对地理的了解不足,无法以高水平的熟练程度进行地理思考,并且与种族、性别和其他学生特征相关的成绩差距持续存在。地理学成就的社会差异是地理学强大认知知识广泛存在和系统性障碍的征兆,强调地理学家需要采用基于研究的综合战略来扩大参与,将 K-12 和高等教育联系起来。为不同的学生群体创建了 NAEP 项目图,以分析不同水平的地理主题能力。结果表明,大多数学生对地理的了解不足,无法以高水平的熟练程度进行地理思考,并且与种族、性别和其他学生特征相关的成绩差距持续存在。地理学成就的社会差异是地理学强大认知知识广泛存在和系统性障碍的征兆,强调地理学家需要采用基于研究的综合战略来扩大参与,将 K-12 和高等教育联系起来。与种族、性别和其他学生特征相关的持续成绩差距。地理学成就的社会差异是地理学强大认知知识广泛存在和系统性障碍的征兆,强调地理学家需要采用基于研究的综合战略来扩大参与,将 K-12 和高等教育联系起来。与种族、性别和其他学生特征相关的持续成绩差距。地理学成就的社会差异是地理学强大认知知识广泛存在和系统性障碍的征兆,强调地理学家需要采用基于研究的综合战略来扩大参与,将 K-12 和高等教育联系起来。
