    Question

    Which of the following cannot be considered as a valid reason for including socio-scientific issues-(such as the GM food) in the school science curricula?

    A.

    Develops the capacity to engage in evidence-based reasoning.

    B.

    Helpful in appreciating science as a definitive discipline.

    C.

    Helpful in cultivating understanding about nature of science.

    D.

    Develops argumentation skills

    Correct option is B

    Socio-scientific issues (SSIs) are complex and controversial issues that involve science, technology, and society. Including SSIs in the school science curriculum can help students develop a number of important skills and understandings, such as:
    SSIs should not be used to teach students that science is a definitive discipline: Science is a process of inquiry, and there is always room for uncertainty and ambiguity.
    Argumentation skills: SSIs require students to be able to think critically about scientific evidence and to construct arguments that support their positions.
    Understanding of the nature of science: SSIs can help students understand that science is a process of inquiry and that scientific knowledge is always evolving.
    Capacity to engage in evidence-based reasoning: SSIs can help students develop the skills to evaluate scientific evidence and to make informed decisions.
