Makale Özeti:

In the first part of this article I propose a conceptual framework – based on the deficit,
public debate and co-production of knowledge models articulated by (Callon, 1999) –
with which to examine students’ appropriation of de socioscientific issues (SSI). The
second part of this article presents the way a group of three post-secondary/preuniversity
students described the attitudes, interests and capacity for understanding of
citizens concerned by the controversy surrounding the use of cellular telephones, and
how they viewed the conditions under which citizens could contribute to public debates.
This study was conducted on the basis of an ethnographic approach. Participant
observation was performed by the researcher for three hours during each of fifteen
weeks. Findings indicate that the group of three students ascribed to citizens deficits of
knowledge and comprehension, and authorized a limited participation of citizens in
public debates. Implications for science teaching are discussed. It is argued that the use
of the conceptual framework set out in this article in a science classroom would, on the
one hand, enable teachers to “problematize” SSI in a way accounting for citizen participation
in sociotechnical debates and, on the other hand, provide students with a
basis for developing an understanding of SSI management that breaks with an interpretation
centring on the deficit model as applied to relationships between citizens and
scientists.
