“…Risk, risk assessment, or risk analysis are dealt with in a variety of ways within science education research (Christensen, 2009; Cross, 1993; Hansen & Hammann, 2017; Schenk et al., 2019). This is particularly true for the areas of scientific literacy, Science and Technology in Society (STS), and socioscientific issues (SSI; Boerwinkel, Swierstra, & Warloo, 2014; Kolstø, 2006; Levinson, Kent, Pratt, Kapadia, & Yougi, 2011; Simonneaux, Panissal, & Brossais, 2013; Wojcik et al., 2019). The origins of this stream of research lies in the idea of making science education more socially responsible and contribute to science for citizenship and may be traced back at least to the 1930's (Ratcliffe, 2001), although it began to be more widely argued from the 1970's (see Howes, 1975).…”
