I was going to suggest Layton and Jenkins/ Donnelly ,but Dr Bud beat
me to it. I can also suggest this piece from Layton:
* Layton, David (1994) ‘STS in the School Curriculum: a Movement
Overtaken by History?’, in Joan Solomon & Glen S Aikenhead (eds) STS
Education: International Perspectives on Reform (New York: Teachers
College Press, Columbia University) 32-44.
If only because he points out that the first person to publicly
advocate the ‘science education for all‘ approach (as opposed to
building a science curriculum to serve needs of science... very
topical issue at present) was, in 1971, the then secretary for state
for education: Margaret Thatcher (p. 39).
Pointing this out really annoys a lot of educationalists.
