Valuable Lessons: Engaging with the social context of science in schools -
Dr Ralph Levinson, University of London Institute of Education. An
important current issue for science education is how to reconcile the
teaching of the minority who will go on to scientific careers with the needs
of all pupils, as future citizens and consumers, to understand the social
and economic context of science. Dr Levinson will report the findings of
his research on current educational practice in teaching about
socio-scientific issues to the 14-19 age group in schools in England and
Wales. The presentation will also draw on the results of a day-conference
held in December which engaged a wide range of practitioners and analysts in
focusing on the priorities for policy and practice arising from the
research.
Tuesday 5 March 2002 1200-1400 Venue t.b.a.
Science Shops: Extending public access to S&T Dr Eileen Martin,
Director, Northern Ireland Science Shop. Science Shops are a by now well
established if still novel institution designed to extend the range of
people able to access and make use of science and technology. Dr Martin
will talk about the work of the Northern Ireland Science Shop but also
reflect on other recent experiments in broadening research access and
speculate on future developments.
