Abstract

The chapter presents a critical content analysis of the K-12 Biology textbook with respect to the inclusion of Bioethical issues. Content analysis as a technique for analysis has been chosen to analyse the text. In simple terms, content analysis can be defined as the process of summarizing and reporting data, as well as the main concerns of that data and revealing hidden messages if any. The rationale behind writing this chapter is to highlight such areas and topics within the Biology Text where there could be some confluence of science, technology and Ethics as well as to critically analyse the textbook content for facilitating critical thinking and ethical understanding on the same.
