Health and the environment are important learning areas in science
education and their significance is growing. Not only do they have
high social relevance, but they are also close to students'
interests and needs. They provide many opportunities to unlock
science with questions that are personally relevant to boys and
girls and that inspire them to engage in science. This book
contains a selection of papers from prominent professionals in
science, health and environmental education, who reflect on science
education, each from their specific point of view. The core idea is
to present well-founded perspectives on how science education may
benefit from challenges stemming from both health and environmental
education. Specific reasons are discussed as to why these two areas
are particularly legitimized to challenge science education, and
their potential impact on a revision of science education is
evaluated. A new pedagogy for science|environment|health that
yields interesting and relevant science education for students and
teachers, and addresses the grand challenges of this century: what
an attractive and rewarding project! The book will motivate
teachers, teacher educators and science education researchers to
take part in this on-going project.
