The bill proposes the addition of a new section to chapter 13-33 of South Dakota law, allowing teachers employed by school districts to assist students in objectively analyzing and critiquing scientific information. This support is intended to help students understand the strengths and weaknesses of scientific concepts presented in their courses, ensuring that the review aligns with the content standards established in section 13-3-48.
By enabling teachers to guide students in this manner, the bill aims to enhance the educational experience by fostering critical thinking and scientific literacy. The focus on objective analysis underscores the importance of a balanced approach to understanding scientific information in the classroom.
