British Educational Research Association (BERA) • “There is strong evidence that teachers
and teacher educators need to engage with research, in the sense of keeping up to date with the latest developments in their academic subject and on effective instructional techniques to inform their pedagogical content knowledge.”
(BERA, 2014, p. 7)

Structured Academic Controversy (SAC)
is a strategy that encourages teachers to take on and argue for BOTH sides of an issue and ultimately come up with a balanced opinion.
Johnson and Johnson (1994)

Structured Academic Controversy (SAC)
• teachers work in pairs to become familiar with one side of an issue, • debate with another pair who has become familiar
with the opposing side of that issue • then switch “sides,” become familiar with the
opposing argument, and debate again• finally, the pairs come together to discuss each side
and come to a consensus about their collective opinion regarding the argument.
Johnson and Johnson (1994)
