Rose M. Pringle is associate professor of science education at the University of Florida School of Teaching and Learning. Her areas of research include preservice teachers’ positionality as science learners and issues associated with learning to teach inquiry-based science. She is particularly interested in working towards increasing the participation of minorities, especially girls of African descent, into mathematics and science related careers. Pringle is currently exploring the relationship between science teachers’ and counselors’ expectations and African American girls’ self-perception as science and mathematics learners.
