Descripción
The debate on issue of race in biology education requires a comprehensive reexamination. Traditionally, the idea that “we are all equal” has been emphasized, and that biology has rejected the concept of race. However, this perspective is problematic, as it contradicts current understandings about human genetic diversity, muddles debates about the legitimacy, utility, and possibility of categorizing humans, and perpetuates the invisibility of the inequalities faced by racialized individuals. This article advocates an alternative approach to addressing racial questions in biology classes by characterizing school science models that integrate concepts of genetics, ecology, and evolution. These models allow the discussion of certain common-sense ideas regarding racial questions while offering insights into exploring the nature of science in class. This approach encourages informed debates and a more profound understanding of the essence of scientific knowledge.
