Helgeson, Lars J.; Hoover, John; Sheehan, James
Journal of Elementary Science Education, v14 n2 p11-24 Fall 2002
Describes cooperation between social studies and science education professors to introduce preservice teachers to the evolution versus creationism debate via a mock trial. Uses a hypothetical situation in which a 6th grade teacher was fired for not balancing evolution and creationism in his teaching. Reports that the mock trial slightly increased students' understanding of evolutionary principles. (Contains 21 references.) (Author/YDS)
