Abstract

This paper discusses the value of a Freirean liberatory perspective in community colleges, countering the traditional "second chance" or "social reproduction" viewpoints attributed by scholars to the education offered in these institutions, emphasizing its vital need in science and healthcare careers education. I explore the potential of this perspective by providing illustrative examples from a biology course incorporating social justice science issues in the curriculum to examine their relationship in cultivating students' critical consciousness at a community college with a programmatic emphasis on healthcare professions.

社区大学教育的自由主义解放视角:生物课程中的批判意识与社会公正科学问题。

本文讨论了自由主义解放视角在社区大学中的价值，反驳了传统的“第二次机会”或“社会再生产”观点，这些观点被学者们归功于这些机构所提供的教育，强调了它在科学和医疗保健职业教育中的重要性。我通过提供一个生物课程的例子来探讨这一观点的潜力，该课程将社会正义科学问题纳入课程，以检验它们在培养社区大学学生批判意识方面的关系，该社区大学的课程重点是医疗保健专业。

期刊介绍： Cultural Studies of Science Education is a peer reviewed journal that provides an interactive platform for researchers working in the multidisciplinary fields of cultural studies and science education. By taking a cultural approach and paying attention to theories from cultural studies, this new journal reflects the current diversity in the study of science education in a variety of contexts, including schools, museums, zoos, laboratories, parks and gardens, aquariums and community development, maintenance and restoration. This journal focuses on science education as a cultural, cross-age, cross-class, and cross-disciplinary phenomenon; publishes articles that have an explicit and appropriate connection with and immersion in cultural studies; seeks articles that have theory development as an integral aspect of the data presentation; establishes bridges between science education and social studies of science, public understanding of science, science/technology and human values, and science and literacy; builds new communities at the interface of currently distinct discourses; aims to be a catalyst that forges new genres of and for scholarly dissemination; provides an interactive dialogue that includes the editors, members of the review board, and selected international scholars; publishes manuscripts that encompass all forms of scholarly activity; includes research articles, essays, OP-ED, critical, comments, criticisms and letters on emerging issues of significance.
