Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Addressing the epistemological issues and philosophical questions characteristic of the nature of science, can be a challenge for science teachers less used to dealing with uncertainties, multiple perspectives and non-consensus situations. In this chapter, we argue that science teachers can be strengthened to teach the nature of science by incorporating an approach consistent with teaching and learning in philosophy. We will explore how philosophical dialogue with young people in science contexts can enhance reflection about and understanding of the nature of science. We explore the potential of philosophical dialogue to stimulate discussions about the nature of science through sharing our approaches and drawing on research literature relating to dialogic teaching in philosophy and the use of philosophical dialogue in science. |
