- W43012960 abstract "End of Fish was how Daniel Pauly, professor of fisheries at the University of British Columbia, referred to sobering research showing that--without swift action--populations of all major commercial fish species could collapse by 2048. A lesson on the decline of global fisheries can address many state and national science standards. Using an inter-active role-play activity is especially effective for enhancing students' scientific discourse and argumentation skills. This article shows how. While all global fisheries are in decline, the bluefin tuna fishery is in danger of complete collapse in the near future. Since most students know that people and pets eat tuna, this species is an excellent choice for teaching about the decline of ocean fisheries and strategies for replenishing them. the surface, the facts surrounding the decline of bluefin tuna seem simple and straightforward. But, if students dig deeper to identify the complex underlying human actions and natural phenomena that contribute to the problem, they begin to realize that fisheries decline is a symptom of systemic global issues. To help students understand these complex issues, we have them role-play a meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT; see On the web). Why a role-play? Dedicating several class periods to a single focused issue may seem a questionable allocation of class time. But this topic provides an excellent context for helping students understand many core science concepts, including species interdependence, life cycles, limiting factors, carrying capacity, population dynamics, and the role of top predators in food webs (Figure 1). In addition, this role-play activity allows students to engage in authentic scientific discourse and argumentation using scientific evidence to support arguments. The goal of this simulated ICCAT meeting is to decide whether commercial fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna should continue. Each student assumes the role of a specific stakeholder from various parts of the world. Each student gets a role card that has facts relevant to that stakeholder's group but does not state a particular position to be taken (for sample role cards, see On the web). Students must decide which facts they want to present and then use this evidence to develop strong, evidence-based arguments to support their assigned role's position. The role-play format allows students to practice articulating and arguing for their positions and helps them learn how to persuade others through productive evidence-based arguments. Additionally, as part of the discussion/voting process, students critically evaluate others' arguments. Students tend to become personally invested in their roles, experiencing the emotional side of science-based issues. Instead of simply presenting facts, role-play exposes students to multiple, often conflicting, perspectives and points of view. Role-play also helps students understand that scientific issues are often complex (Cronin-Jones 2000). Afterward, students are often surprised that the decision they reached differs from that of the real-world organization. Role-play also helps students grasp the importance of cooperation in resolving controversial issues. In this activity, students must work as a team to represent a specific nation or region of the world. While each student casts a vote within the group during deliberations, each group or region only gets one vote to determine the outcome of the simulated ICCAT meeting. This two-stage voting process helps students understand why many decisions about science-based issues involve compromise to reach consensus. Finally, in addition to fostering the development of scientific reasoning and problem-solving skills, role-play also helps students hone core literacy skills, including verbal communication, oral presentation, and active listening (Cronin-Jones 2000). …" @default.
