Özet
Abstract:
Until 30 years ago, it was possible to hear the voices of different schools of
thought on controversial issues in science education, albeit in a limited way,
such as the constructivism debate between Ernst von Glasersfeld and Wallis
Suchting (please see Matthews, 1998). Unfortunately, the number of similar
platforms has steadily decreased, and sensitive issues cannot be freely
discussed. Indeed, when the subject is Evolution
or Evolution Education (EE), this can
become much more troublesome. This paper focuses on the sources of pedagogical proposals in recent EE studies, the transformational properties of the
explanatory theories used, and the quality
and clarity of the research arguments. It also questions whether the
research proposals, claims and explanatory theories are a new approach. In
doing so, in order to support the theoretical framework of the paper,
particular attention is drawn to argumentation
breakdown, the issue of appeal to an
authority figure, obscurantism, and ethical
considerations.
