The Cuvette: An Open Access Science Education Journal

Our Mission

The Cuvette provides an open platform for educators, researchers, and innovators to share insights on transforming science education. We aim to build an engaged community focused on:

• Student-centered, inquiry-based learning
• Phenomenon-driven instruction
• Equity, inclusion, and social justice
• Challenging academic conventions

Core Principles

We organize our practices into five categories representing five principles. These principles assert that innovations in science education should be:

1. Ethically sourced - collected & distributed without exploiting leaders in science education & their intellectual property, institutions, or discipline.
2. Openly available - obtainable without barriers, accessibly written, & available in multiple languages.
3. Practitioner-inclusive - ensuring practitioners defined are supported in writing, reviewing, & implementing advancements.
4. Diversely published - broadening impact by promoting variety in the publication media, types, & routes.
5. Technologically relevant - implementing modern tools & resources to improve writing, dissemination, and readability.
