About this title

Synopsis

Science Education for Citizenship explores the effective teaching and learning of issues relating to the impact of science in society.

Research case studies are used to examine the advantages and problems as science teachers try new learning approaches, including ethical analysis, use of media-reports, peer-group decision-making discussions and community projects.

This book:

* offers practical guidance in devising learning goals and suitable learning and assessment strategies which provide students with the skills and understanding to address these multi-faceted issues

* explores the nature and place of socio-scientific issues in the curriculum and the support necessary for effective teaching

This book is designed for science teachers, citizenship teachers and other educators as they help students to develop the skills and understanding to deal with complex everyday issues.
