Klaver, Lida T.; Sins, Patrick H. M.; Walma van der Molen, Juliette H.; Guérin, Laurence J. F. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
In this position paper, we introduce the concept of socioscientific capital (SSC) to denote students' resources that unequivocally play a part when students learn about and make decisions regarding socioscientific issues (SSIs). Students use a variety of resources when they engage with SSI. Our conceptualization of SSC expands on current…
