Supporting and Understanding Students’ Epistemological Discourse About Climate Change
The climate change community has begun to look carefully at how the public understands, or fails to understand, climate change and the scientific claims made based on data. This study focuses on how teachers provide scaffolding that supports students’ understanding of, not only how climate systems work or the causes and effects of climate change, but also how we know what we know.
