摘要：The Commentary ‘Why are black South African students less likely to consider studying biological sciences?’ offers a mistaken description of a problem which it then addresses through a distressing mixture of poor research methods, ethnocentric concept formation and ahistorical thinking.It instantiates problematic assumptions about students, especially black students, and how they make choices.Its methodological individualism gives rise to inadequate findings that lend themselves to racist interpretations.It fails to contextualise.Its publication as a Commentary in a prestigious journal has enormous implications for the standing of both quantitative and qualitative research in South Africa.
