Towards A Pragmatic Science in Schools.
Segal, Gilda
Research in Science Education, v27 n2 p289-307 1997
Contrasts naive beliefs about the nature of science with science as it appears from sociological and philosophical study, feminist critique, and insights from multicultural education. Pragmatic school science is situated within a framework that questions how we know and the recognition that even high-status knowledge can be challenged. (AIM)
