The book approaches the subject of ethics in science from a
pedagogical and pragmatic viewpoint and addresses the need to
effectively deal with these issues in science classrooms at the
K-12 and undergraduate levels, drawing on real-world cases to do
so. The book also explores ethical issues in connection with recent
biotechnological advances and urges the reader to move beyond a
disciplinary understanding and adopt an interdisciplinary view of
the entire issue. Intended to initiate a process of reflecting on
and investigating these ethical issues related to biotechnologies,
and to enable the reader to take a personal stance on these issues
rather than being led by outside agencies, the book offers a source
of in-depth study material for researchers working in this area, as
well as a training manual for teachers at both in-service &
pre-service level, teacher educators, curriculum designers and
professionals working in the field. Combining theory and practice,
and including teachers' reflections on their own pedagogic
practice, it offers a valuable resource to help teaching
professionals conduct experiments and achieve pedagogic innovations
in their own work. "'Ethics in Science- Pedagogic Issues &
Concerns' is an excellent textbook for high school and college
students that provides an overview of the ethical issues in science
and technology and includes useful cases studies and questions for
discussion. I recommend it highly." -David B. Resnik, JD, PhD,
Bioethicist and IRB Chair, National Institute for Environmental
Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, USA "Given the
recent proliferation of biological and biomedical knowledge, the
need for education in the relationship between science and ethics
has become ever increasingly essential. The book by Dr. Saxena
provides a valuable introduction on how to inaugurate such an
education. This book is an excellent template for those attempting
to teach science and ethics." -Bernard.E.Rollin, University
Distinguished Professor, Colorado State University, Colorado, USA
"This book by Dr Astha Saxena, a well-qualified educationist,
fulfils a need for such a book for students of Science and
Technology stream. The coverage is comprehensive and the writing is
lucid. I endorse this book as it will bring a criticality of
thinking among Indian students." -Kambadur Muralidhar PhD, FASc,
FNASc, FNA, University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad "Science without
ethics can lead to false scientific claims as well as unbridled
technological growth. The present book conceptualizes this
integration of ethics and science beautifully with academic
rigour." -Alka Behari, Professor, Department of Education,
University of Delhi, New Delhi, India
