Beyond Space and across Time: Non-Finalized Dialogue about Science and Religion Discourse
Hsu, Pei-Ling
Cultural Studies of Science Education, v5 n1 p201-212 Mar 2010
This commentary dialogues with three articles that analyze the same database about science and religion discourse produced 17 years ago. Dialogues in these three articles and this commentary across space and time allow us to develop new and different understandings of the same database and situation. As part of this commentary, I discuss topics approached in the three articles including the collective nature of discourses, emotion, and constructivist view on learning. I draw on three essential concepts of "the dialogical nature of utterance", "the emotional-volitional tone" and "internally persuasive discourse" informed by Bakhtin's dialogism. In particular, I conclude that Bakhtin's dialogism not only invites us to understand science learning discourse in a more holistic way but also encourages us to open up dialogues between science and religion that often are considered to be two hostile opponents.
