Scientific controversies in teaching science: the case of Volta
Science & Education 10 (1-2):33-49 (2001)
Abstract
This paper discusses a way of introducing a scientific controversy, which emphasizes objective aspects of such issues as multiple theoretical interpretation of phenomena, choosing a theory, insistence on the chosen theory, and others. The goal is to give students a better insight into the workings of science and provide guidelines for building theories in their own research.Author's Profile
