Calado, Florbela M.; Scharfenberg, Franz-Josef; Bogner, Franz X. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2018
Our paper analyses the genetics and gene technology contents of German (Bavarian) and Portuguese biology textbooks, as fields common in science-technology-society-environment (STSE) issues. Our aim was to determine the extent to which textbooks from both countries contribute to students' understanding of the STSE issues and therefore to students'…
