Recent work in science and technological studies has provided a
clearer understanding of the way in which science functions in
society and the interconnectedness among different strands of
science, policy, economy and environment. It is well acknowledged
that a different way of thinking is required in order to address
problems facing the global community, particularly in relation to
issues of risk and uncertainty, which affect humanity as a whole.
However, approaches to education in science tend to perpetuate an
outmoded way of thinking that is incommensurable with preparing
individuals for participation and decision-making in an uncertain,
complex world. Drawing on experiences of interdisciplinary dialogue
and practice in a higher education context, this book illustrates
how reformulating the agenda in science and technology can have a
revolutionary impact on learning and teaching in the classroom at
all levels. This exceptional study will interest scholars in
Education, Science, Technology, and Society, and those looking to
further deliberative democracy and civic participation in their
students.
