Narava znanosti v grških srednješolskih bioloških učbenikih
Povzetek
Narava znanosti opisuje, kaj je znanost, kako deluje in kakšni so njeni stiki z družbo z vidikov filozofije, zgodovine, sociologije in psihologije znanosti. Razumevanje je temeljni vidik znanstvene pismenosti. Upoštevajoč pomembno vlogo, ki jo imajo šolski učbeniki glede tega, kaj in kako je poučevano v šolah, ugotavljamo, da je prisotnost narave znanosti v šolskih naravoslovnih učbenikih bistvena. V tem prispevku so analizirani vsi učbeniki za biologijo v osnovni šoli v Grčiji, in sicer z namenom ovrednotenja, ali je v njih mogoče najti osnovne elemente, povezane z naravo znanosti. Preiskana je bila celotna zbirka razpoložljivih učnih gradiv (npr. učbeniki, delovni zvezki, laboratorijski vodniki, priročniki za učitelje) pa tudi pripadajoč uradni učni načrt za biologijo. Izbrana metoda je bila vsebinska analiza, pri čemer je kot enota analize služila »pomenska enota«. Ugotovili smo, da je večina sklicev na naravo znanosti v gradivih, s pomočjo katerih so poučevali v letih 2021–2022, implicitna. Nekateri vidiki narave znanosti so bili pogosteje najdeni (npr. dokazi so nujni v znanosti) kot drugi (npr. znanost ima omejitve). Največ priložnosti, ob katerih je bila narava znanosti vpeljana, je bilo vezanih na vinjete zgodovine znanosti, laboratorijske naloge in na nekatere izbirne poizvedovalne aktivnosti. Brez strukturiranega načrta, izhajajočega iz učnega načrta, je odgovornost učiteljev, da načrtujejo in vpeljejo v pouk tudi vsebine narave znanosti (ali ne vpeljejo). Sklepamo, da zaradi primanjkljaja neposrednih sklicev narava znanosti pristane znotraj skritega kurikuluma in je napačno prikazana, vsiljujoča pozitivno sliko znanosti.
