| Abstract | The subculture of science has ‘borders’ that many find difficult to negotiate. These borders become more complex the further understandings of science are from traditional western perspectives. This paper therefore examines the experiences of two western pre-service teachers’ teaching science in a non-western context--the Cook Islands. The lens of ‘border crossing’ has been used to make sense of these teachers’ learning to teach experiences as it provides insights into the ways in which the participants negotiated such crossings over time. This research highlights the importance of recognising the positive interactions and potential for diverse experiences within a cultural context. |
