| Description: |
This book examines and analyses reforms in school science education which have established socio-scientific issues as part of the curricula, and discusses reasons for and ways of teaching these issues. |
| Synopsis: |
In many industrialized countries, reforms in school science education have meant that socio-scientific issues are now established in the science curricula, perceived by many to be at the expense of traditional academic science. In the UK, for example, these changes are prominent in the current reforms to the science curriculum for 14-19 year olds. The book will: * examine the assumptions behind the reforms; * propose new aims critically aligned to the meaning of citizenship in pluralist and democratic states; * discuss a range of pedagogies for teaching socio-scientific issues; * present new pedagogic models for teaching socio-scientific issues; * exemplify practically-based approaches to teaching socio-scientific issues, taking a range of examples throughout the world; * present a bibliography for further reading. |
