Controversial Issues - Teachers' attitudes and practices in the context of citizenship education Year of publication: 2004 Author: Christopher Oultona | Vanessa Dayb | Justin Dillon | Marcus Graced A survey of the literature suggests that the principles and methods relating to the teaching of controversial issues are themselves controversial. This irony is more relevant to teachers now than ever before. This paper explores the issue of teachers' readiness to use controversial issues in the classroom, and reports on research involving focus groups and questionnaires. We suggest that many teachers are under‐prepared and feel constrained in their ability to handle this aspect of their work. Controversial Issues - Teachers' attitudes and practices in the context of citizenship education Year of publication: 2004 Author: Christopher Oultona | Vanessa Dayb | Justin Dillon | Marcus Graced Une analyse de la littérature portant sur cette question montre que les principes et les méthodes relatifs à l'enseignement des questions controversées sont eux-mêmes controversés. Cette situation absurde concerne plus que jamais les enseignants. Cet article porte sur la formation des enseignants à l’utilisation des questions controversées dans la salle de classe, et publie les résultats de la recherche effectuée auprès des groupes cibles et par le biais de questionnaire. Il s’avère que de nombreux enseignants sont loin d’être formés et qu’ils ne sont pas prêts à gérer cet aspect de leur travail.
