Sociology of science as a means to a more authentic, inclusive science education

Abstract: In this article, we argue that insights from scholarship in the sociology of science can provide a powerful basis for making science education more authentic and inclusive. Drawing on recent work in the sociology of science, we describe how adopting sociological ideas as integral components of science curricula and instruction can provide opportunities for students that a traditional approach cannot. We focus on three insights from sociology-social networking, peer review, and skepticism-to demonstrate how soc… Show more

“…The notion of authenticity has led many researchers to emphasize the importance of curriculum design for authentic science (Cunningham & Helms, 1998;Driver, Asoko, Leach, Mortimer & Scott, 1994) and the development of authentic assessment (Cumming & Maxwell, 1999;Dori, 2003;Wiggins, 1989Wiggins, , 1993Wolf et al, 1991). Such assessment is sensitive enough to evaluate students' abilities or learning outcomes, and could reflect students' deep and broad understanding (Dori, 2003).…”

“…dès lors, il apparaît pertinent de s'interroger quant aux croyances épistémologiques qu'entretiennent des étudiants des profils sciences et technologies et univers social au cours de leur formation initiale à l'enseignement secondaire, dans un contexte de mouvance engendrée par la plus récente réforme. il s'avère également nécessaire d'investiguer ce phénomène, alors que les nouvelles orientations données à la formation des maîtres (MeQ, 2001) et de nombreux chercheurs en éducation (Bader & therriault, 2008;cunningham & helms, 1998;duschl, erduran, Grandy & rudolph, 2008;Monk & osborne, 1997) favorisent l'intégration de considération d'histoire, de philosophie, de sociologie et d'épistémologie des sciences et des sciences humaines dans les curriculums de la formation générale (primaire et secondaire) et postsecondaire (au collège et à l 'uniGEnEvIèvE THERRIAULT, Léon HARvEy, PHILIPPE JonnAERT versité). en d'autres termes, il s'agit ici d'amener les futurs enseignants à se documenter en regard de l'importante question : « comment en vient-on à connaître quelque chose ?…”

“…That is, as noted elsewhere, examples should be authentic (Cunningham and Helms 1998;Wong and Hodson 2009a, b). Resources should draw on real science and scientific practice, whether from historical case studies (Conant 1947;Solomon et al 1992;Irwin 2000), contemporary case studies (Wellington 1991;Dimopoulos and Koulaidis 2003;Wong et al 2008), a student's own investigative experience, or all combined (Osborne et al 2003).…”
