Abstract

Writing will be a basic skill in the new curriculum now being developed in Norway. This implies that writing should be learned by students in every school subject, including science. It should be welcomed, as writing is a key activity in both professional and school science. However, there are some key issues that need to be addressed: the relationship between process and product, between tacit and explicit knowledge and between nature and text. Thus writing introduced as a basic skill reintroduces key issues and dilemmas in science education while at the same time holds promise for a functional conception of ‘scientific literacy’.
