Title: | What Account of Science Shall We Give? A Case Study of Scientists Teaching First-year University Subjects | Contributor(s): | Smith, Dorothy V (author) ; Mulhall, Pamela J (author); Gunstone, Richard F (author); Hart, Christina E (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | Early Online Version: | 2015-05-18 | DOI: | 10.1080/09500693.2015.1042942 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/29459 | Abstract: | This article presents a case study of four academic scientists. These academics teach in the first year of a Bachelor of Science degree at a large research-focused Australian university that has demanded and supported a greater focus on undergraduate learning. Taken as a whole, the accounts of science that the first-year academics in this case study gave, and which they are presenting to their students, challenge the images of science and scientists typically presented in school science curricula. Using Roberts' heuristic of Vision 1 and Vision 2 for the broad purposes of learning science, we consider various accounts given of science by these academic scientists and consider how science might appear to a student who takes all four of their subjects. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DP120102714 | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Science Education, 37(9), p. 1504-1523 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1464-5289 0950-0693 |
