Reaction To "Disrupting Hegemonic Writing Practices in School Science".

Lather, Patti

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v35 n4 p363-64 Apr 1998

The article to which this essay responds advises risky practices that trouble traditional distinctions between science and not-science (things not scientific in nature), particularly its argument to politicize science as a way to organize teaching. Raises questions about science as a regime of truth in a place where such questions carry much weight: the teaching of science to children. (PVD)
