Wiles Volume 33, Number 3, September 2006 Article abstract The rejection of biological and geological evolution is a pervasive problem in URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/geocan33_3com01 science education. Recent events in the United States have brought anti-evolution activity to the forefront in media coverage of science education, See table of contents but Canadians are often unaware that such creationist, anti-evolution activity is present in Canada as well. In this article, various foreign and Canadian-based anti-evolution efforts that threaten biology and geoscience education are Publisher(s) discussed. These creationist organizations and their activities may adversely influence Canadian science curricula and public understanding of evolution The Geological Association of Canada and science in general.

Interview with Glenn Branch
Interview with Glenn Branch Interview with Glenn Branch 1 Heslley Machado Silva 1Centro Universitário de Formiga (UNIFOR-MG) Glenn Branch is the deputy director of the National Center for Science Education, where his work involves organizing resistance to attempts to undermine the teaching of socially but not scientifically controversial topics, such as evolution and climate change. He received the Evolution Education Award for 2020 from the National Association of Biology Teachers. He has written extensively about evolution and climate education, and threats to them, for scholarly journals, reference works, and popular magazines: his “The latest face of creationism,” written with Eugenie C. Scott, was translated as “Manobras mais recentes do criacionismo,” Scientific American Brasil 2009; 81: 82– 89. With Scott, he edited Not In Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong For Our Schools (2006). Branch is currently also coordinating NCSE’s survey research program, which recently produced a major publication: Eric Plutzer, Glenn Branch, and Ann Reid, “Teaching evolution in U.S. public schools: A continuing Photograph: Bob Melton challenge,” Evolution: Education and Outreach 2020; 13(14). 6| P á g i n a Conexão Ci. | Formiga/MG | Vol. 15 | Nº 4 |p. 6-5 | 2020 Interview with Glenn Branch 1.

What is its scope? from the blow. In the wake of Kitzmiller v. Dover, attacks on evolution in public education have NCSE was founded in the early 1980s, to serve increasingly eschewed calling for creationism to be as a national resource for grassroots organizations taught, instead favoring the strategy of belittling resisting the attempts to impose creation science— evolution. -

The Science of Nature Is New Name of Springer's Journal
Press Release New York / Heidelberg 3 December 2014 The Science of Nature is new name of Springer’s journal Naturwissenschaften Continuous article publishing will be implemented for the multidisciplinary science journal Starting January 2015, the journal Naturwissenschaften ‐ The Science of Nature will have a new name. By switching the title and subtitle, it will be known as The Science of Nature and thus be more identifiable to the international scientific community. Maintaining the German subtitle Naturwissenschaften will provide a sense of identity to the journal’s distinguished 100‐year history. In addition to the new name, continuous article publishing (CAP) will be implemented starting in 2015. CAP means that each article, after peer‐review and acceptance, will be published immediately within the monthly issue, including a digital object identifier (DOI) and page numbers. By using CAP, the journal follows the trend of today’s electronic publishing, providing shorter publication time for all contributions. Sven Thatje, Editor‐in‐Chief, said, “The title change is undoubtedly going to increase the scientific community’s perception of the journal as an international venue for research. However, the academic focus of The Science of Nature remains the same and continuity is guaranteed. The journal is dedicated to the fast publication and global dissemination of high‐quality research in the biological sciences.” Paul Roos, Editorial Director at Springer, said, “Academic publishing is a competitive world and we at Springer strive to provide the best possible services to scientists and their institutions. I am convinced that the structural changes to the journal will improve its attractiveness and its global scope in the years to come, as well as better serve the needs of twenty‐first century science and society.” The multidisciplinary journal The Science of Nature ‐ Naturwissenschaften celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. -

An Evolving Controversy: the Struggle to Teach Science In
An Evolving Controversy The Struggle to Teach Science in Science Classes By Michael Berkman and Eric Plutzer Like many researchers who are interested in K–12 education, we are overall very pleased with the proposed Framework and are veryone from President Obama to the average parent eager to see it developed into a new set of standards to guide seems to agree that the STEM fields—science, technol- instruction.* And yet, as political scientists who have studied ogy, engineering, and mathematics—are critical to the America’s long-running debate over teaching evolution versus nation’s future. But, according to the National Research creationism, we bring a unique perspective to the question of ECouncil, “too few U.S. workers have strong backgrounds in these implementing any new standards based on the Framework. We fields, and many people lack even fundamental knowledge of have not only examined the history of the evolution debate as well them.” The only solution is “a new approach to K–12 science edu- as ongoing polls of public opinion, but also conducted a nation- cation in the United States.”1 Last year, the Council took the lead ally representative survey of how high school biology teachers in developing that new approach when it released A Framework deal with evolution in the classroom. We see a rough road ahead for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and for teachers. CH Core Ideas. Our findings are relevant to all K–12 science instruction because the widespread adoption of standards based on the Michael Berkman and Eric Plutzer are both professors in the Department Framework will make evolutionary biology much more salient for of Political Science at Pennsylvania State University.
