Section
E Transformations: values
Our actions are guided by what
we see as important
and what we value. This section looks at the factors related to
personal
values that may influence teachers’ transformations of the innovations.
Again, the issues are addressed through the use of ‘stories’ based on
results
of the research. When teachers described their work on computer
modelling,
they referred to personal values about what should be in the curriculum
and how it should be taught in the classroom. What kinds of experiences
should pupils have in learning science and what kinds of understandings
about science do we want them to have? Can computers distort pupils’
images
of science? Should computers be seen as a tool for learning science or
should they be seen as a part of science itself?
