The nature of science (NOS) and its role in science education is
complex, as is the goal of helping teachers and students attain a
desired understanding of NOS. NOS issues could be tackled through
writing in science and has implications for the kinds of writing
tasks assigned in science. Research is warranted on these writing
tasks and their effectiveness in promoting more desired views of
NOS. This book is unique since it reports on teachers' and
students' NOS views and the links between their views and
diversified writing tasks in science, an area that lacks attention
as a means for teaching about NOS. Different genres of scientific
writing are seen as effective means of doing science and informing
students about NOS, and the complexity of relationships between
students' views of NOS and writing in science is highlighted. The
analysis should be beneficial in developing and implementing
diversified writing activities that have the potential to
realistically portray science to students, and should be especially
useful to professionals in curriculum development, instruction, and
student learning in science.
