Different People in Different Places

This article presents the results of an exploratory study of students’ knowledge about scientists and countries’ contributions to science, aiming at answering two research questions: “In which ways are students aware of the history of scientific development carried out by different people in different places of the world? What can be influencing and shaping their awareness?” Thus, this study aimed at depicting students’ knowledge about History of Science (HOS), focusing on what they know about science being done by people and communities from different parts of the world and on how this knowledge is constructed through their engagement with school science. An exploratory research was carried out at two multicultural state secondary schools in London, UK, involving 200 students aged 12–15 (58.5% girls, 41.5% boys) and five science teachers. The method involved an initial exploration of students’ knowledge about HOS through an open-ended survey, followed by classroom-based observations and semi-structured interviews with the participants. Results showed a disconnection between remembering scientists and knowing about their work and background, hinting at an emphasis on illustrative and decontextualised approaches towards HOS. Additionally, there was a lack of diversity in these students’ answers in terms of gender and ethnicity when talking about scientists and countries in science. These findings were further analysed in relation to their implications for school science and for the fields of HOS, science education and public perception of science.  相似文献

On the definition of a tapology in Hilbert spaces with applications to the white noisy theory     

A. Gandolfi  A. Germani 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》1983,316(6):435-444

In this paper a topology on Hilbert spaces is defined. The continuity of a map with respect to such a topology is equivalent to the uniform S-continuity around the origin, according to the Gross definition. An example of an application, in which the achieved gives a simple tool for providing the existence of stochastic solutions, is reported for a quite general class of non- linear differential equations driven by white noise.  相似文献
