This book specifies the foundation for Adapted Primary Literature
(APL), a novel text genre that enables the learning and teaching of
science using research articles that were adapted to the knowledge
level of high-school students. More than 50 years ago, J.J. Schwab
suggested that Primary Scientific Articles “afford the most
authentic, unretouched specimens of enquiry that we can obtain” and
raised for the first time the idea that such articles can be used
for “enquiry into enquiry”. This book, the first to be published on
this topic, presents the realization of this vision and shows how
the reading and writing of scientific articles can be used for
inquiry learning and teaching. It provides the origins and theory
of APL and examines the concept and its importance. It outlines a
detailed description of creating and using APL and provides
examples for the use of the enactment of APL in classes, as well as
descriptions of possible future prospects for the implementation of
APL. Altogether, the book lays the foundations for the use of this
authentic text genre for the learning and teaching of science in
secondary schools.
