Cover Story: In recent years, a considerable amount of research on teaching controversial issues has been published. Much of this research has focused on the need to develop relevant and fruitful pedagogical as well as didactic strategies. This research is of paramount importance; however, it is also essential to investigate the theoretical frameworks for how knowledge-based teaching of controversial subjects can be developed. Having relevant knowledge of the issues being discussed and being well informed about how arguments for and against different positions can be critically evaluated are fundamental prerequisites for epistemically well-founded discussions in classrooms. This article discusses powerful knowledge as a conceptual frame for epistemically anchored teaching of what are perceived as controversial issues in social studies subjects. View this paper
