Uncertainty and Graphing in Discovery Work Implications for and Applications in STEM Education

Uncertainty and Graphing in Discovery Work Implications for and Applications in STEM Education / by Wolff-Michael Roth.

This book deals with uncertainty and graphing in scientific discovery work from a social practice perspective. It is based on a 5-year ethnographic study in an advanced experimental biology laboratory. The book shows how, in discovery work where scientists do not initially know what to make of graph...
