Abstract: | In response to Tali and Yarden’s presentation of their efforts to teach socioscientific issues, the discussants address issues
of authentic versus simulated activities; teachers as learners or co-creators with their students; educating people to contribute
to science-based decisionmaking; the development of such socioscientific competence; the relationship between group or participatory
processes and individual development; framing real world cases for every age of student; making space to delve into the historical
and social background to any scientific theory, practice, or application; educating teachers who can coach students in socioscientific
inquiry; and facing off against the traditional and resurgent emphasis on highstakes, content-oriented testing of students
in science. |
