At the core of the exploration is the Socioscientific Issues Framework. The framework gives students practice in the research, analysis, and argumentation necessary to grapple with difficult questions and build scientific literacy. After introducing the concept of the framework and explaining how it aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards, the book shows you how to implement it through seven units targeted to the elementary, middle, and high school levels. You even find out how to develop your own socioscientific issues curriculum. Both practical and content-rich, It's Debatable  doesn't shy away from controversy. Instead, the authors encourage you and your students to confront just how messy the questions raised by science (and pseudoscience) can be. After all, as the authors note, The only way for our students to be prepared for participation in societal discourse is to have practice in their school years, and what better place than the science classroom?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394397835537,"sku":"CIN1938946006G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52667399504145,"sku":"NLS9781938946004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52757014216977,"sku":"NIN9781938946004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815212708113,"sku":"CIN1938946006VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1938946006.jpg?v=1751315492"},{"product_id":"role-of-moral-reasoning-on-socioscientific-issues-and-discourse-in-science-educa-book-dana-l-zeidler-9781402038556","title":"The Role of Moral Reasoning on Socioscientific Issues and Discourse in Science Education","description":"Norman G. Lederman I remember moving into my graduate student office at Syracuse University in 1979 as if it was yesterday. Directly across the hall was another graduate student office with the door closed. On the door was an index card with the following quote: Nothing happened in 1945 except that we changed the scale of our indifference to man; and conscience, in revenge, for an instant became immediate to us. Before the immediacy fades in a sequence of televised atomic tests, let us acknowledge our subject for what it is: civilization face to face with its own implications. The implications are both the industrial slum which Nagasaki was before it was bombed, and the ashy desolation which the bomb made of the slum. And 1 civilization asks of both ruins, 'Is You Is Or Is You Ain't Ma Baby?' The quotation focused around an individual's viewing and reaction to the destruction in Nagasaki following the dropping of a nuclear bomb. The quote was from Bronowski's Science and Human Values and it was pasted to the door of Dana Zeidler's office. What goes around comes around in educational circles and I was unavoidably reminded of the quotation on Dana's door when reading this volume in preparation for the writing of this Foreword. I am not simply reminiscing about my first day as a PhD student, but rather I think the Bronowski quote cuts to the core of the text you are about to read.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52136110522641,"sku":"NLS9781402038556","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53564792078609,"sku":"NIN9781402038556","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781402038556.jpg?v=1757552655"},{"product_id":"role-of-moral-reasoning-on-socioscientific-issues-and-discourse-in-science-educa-book-dana-l-zeidler-9781402014116","title":"The Role of Moral Reasoning on Socioscientific Issues and Discourse in Science Education","description":"Norman G.

It presents, for the first time, what the precursors and nascent features of the framework entailed and examines the underlying presuppositions that have guided this research program as it matured into present day conceptualizations and cutting-edge advances of the SSI framework along with implications for the future. More precisely, the volume examines what the impetus was for the factors preceding the framework, how it came to be formalized into a conceptual and theoretical framework, the philosophical, sociological, and psychological underpinnings of the framework, its role with respect to moral education in the context of science education, and what it means to pursue moral inquiry and epistemic insight in the practice of science teaching and learning through SSI. It offers global insights and perspectives of trends related to SSI from 40 scholars representing 16 nations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52654203732241,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52654204256529,"sku":"NLS9783031633812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031633812.jpg?v=1762214934"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-dana-l-zeidler.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
