Science education, particularly school science education, has long
had an uneasy relationship with ethics, being unsure whether to
embrace ethics or leave it to others. In this book, the authors
argue that while the methods of science and of ethics are very
different, ethics plays a key role in how science is undertaken and
used. And so, ethics has a central place in science education,
whether we are talking of school science education, for students of
all ages, or the informal science education that takes place in
through internet, books, magazines, TV and radio, or in places such
as hospitals and zoos. Written for science educators based in
schools and elsewhere, the authors make no assumptions that the
reader has any knowledge of ethics beyond the background
understandings of morality that virtually all of us have. Empowered
with the knowledge shared in this book, readers will feel confident
about the place that ethics has in science education. The authors
provide a rich array of examples as to how science education, both
in school and out of school, and for all ages, can be enhanced
through including teaching about ethics.
