What More In/For Science Education: An Ethnomethodological Perspective

What more is there in and for science education to do in terms of researching science
lessons? A lot, the author suggests, if research turns away from studying science
education extracting social facts using special methods, which journal articles
require to state, to studying the work and methods by means of which participants
themselves create their structured world of science lessons. This book presents,
with concrete materials from an inquiry-oriented physics course, a way of doing
science education research that radically differs from existing approaches. This book
articulates this approach for a science education audience, where this approach is
by and large unknown, and where the primary literature is often experienced as
impenetrable and as requiring years of work to gain entry. Consistent with this
different approach, those materials are used that constitute the way in which the
refl exive production of social order is observed by the actors (teachers, students)
themselves.
