Detail Attribution, Cooperation, Science, and Girls Bibliografi Author: McGowan, Garrett J. ; McGowan, Richard J.

The chemistry textbooks that are used in middle school and high school use a ?Great Man? theory in which all scientific discovery is attributed to a single man. However, scientific inquiry is a cooperative, collaborative effort, and it has been that sort of activity for at least the last 150 years. If girls, in general, tend toward greater cooperation, as many social scientists suggest, a more accurate account of how science is done would bring more girls into the study of science. These authors suggest that science textbooks used during the times at which girls are formulating their opinions of science (the middle and high school years) should be modified to correctly reflect the fact that science and scientists are cooperative.
