Abstract (English): Public debate often centers on issues that affect our lives and which reflect interests of various social groups and scientific communities, leading to controversies about what we may call socially acute questions (SAQs). In this paper we focus on two SAQs linked to the dominant model of meat production and consumption in Western countries, namely its impact on the environment and the health problems associated with high-meat diets. Given the importance of education in relation to these SAQs, our main objectives here were to examine the extent to which a Cartography of Controversy (CoC) approach is a useful tool for exploring and visualizing the views and ideas of preservice teachers about the controversies associated with this model of meat production and consumption, and to compare their initial maps with our own, one that is informed by a more detailed socio-epistemological analysis. As a complement to this inquiry, we also present the SAQ–Eating Meat project, the aim of which is to encourage citizens to reflect on how food production and consumption may impact health and the environment, and then to take action toward change. In comparison with our own map, those produced by students did not reflect the full complexity of the controversies surrounding the dominant model of meat production and consumption, and some actants were missing. The results nevertheless suggest that a CoC approach is a useful way of engaging students with SAQs and that it offers them a framework in which to extend their inquiry and knowledge, providing a platform from which they may move toward taking action for change.

Abstract (Spanish): Resumen: Al debate público frecuentemente saltan problemas, que afectan a nuestras vidas, cargados de los intereses de diversos grupos sociales y científicos, es decir, surgen controversias sobre cuestiones socialmente vivas (Questions Socialement Vives, QSVs). En este trabajo se abordan de forma conjunta dos QSVs vinculadas al modelo dominante de producción y consumo de carne en los países occidentales: su impacto en el medio ambiente y los problemas de salud asociados a las dietas con alto contenido en carne. Dada la importancia de la educación en relación con estas QSVs, nuestros principales objetivos aquí fueron examinar hasta qué punto el enfoque de la Cartografía de la Controversia (CoC) es una herramienta útil para explorar y visualizar los puntos de vista y las ideas del profesorado en formación inicial sobre las controversias asociadas a este modelo de producción y consumo de carne, y comparar sus mapas de controversias iniciales con el nuestro, el cual está informado por un análisis socio-epistemológico más detallado. Como complemento a este trabajo, también presentamos el proyecto QSVconsumocarne cuya finalidad es el fomento en la ciudadanía de la reflexión sobre el impacto de los alimentos en la salud y el medio ambiente para posteriormente pasar a la acción. En comparación con nuestro propio mapa, los elaborados por el alumnado no reflejaban toda la complejidad de las controversias en torno al modelo dominante de producción y consumo de carne y faltaban algunos actantes. No obstante, los resultados sugieren que el enfoque de CoC es una forma útil de involucrar al alumnado en preguntas frecuentes y que ofrece un marco en el que ampliar su indagación y conocimiento, proporcionando una plataforma desde la que pueden pasar a la acción para el cambio.
