Facilitating Science Literacy in a Rural School

This study examined the effects of an issue-based science teaching strategy on middle school students in a rural Idaho school. Two eighth-grade classes investigated an issue of local significance—the use of the Bear River. Using the Jurisprudential Inquiry Model of Science, Technology and Society (STS) as a guide, students researched and debated the issue. They attempted to create a Worldwide Web site to share the information collected and ideas generated with other students and interested adults. This article describes the challenges encountered in attempting to integrate the use of technology as part of this project as well as the resulting positive outcomes for students.
