This book is based on a commitment to teaching science to
everybody. What may work for training professional scientists does
not work for general science education. Students bring to the
classrooms preconceived attitudes, as well as the emotional baggage
called "science anxiety." Students may regard science as cold,
unfriendly, and even inherently hostile and biased against women.
This book has been designed to deal with each of these issues and
results from research in both Denmark and the United States. The
first chapter discusses student attitudes towards science and the
second discusses science anxiety. The connection between the two is
discussed before the introduction of constructivism as a pedagogy
that can aid science learning if it also addresses attitudes and
anxieties. Much of the book elucidates what the authors have
learned as science teachers and science education researchers. They
studied various groups including university students majoring in
the sciences, mathematics, humanities, social sciences, business,
nursing, and education; high school students; teachers' seminary
students; science teachers at all levels from middle school through
college; and science administrators. The insights of these groups
constitute the most important feature of the book, and by sharing
them, the authors hope to help their fellow science teachers to
understand student attitudes about science, to recognize the
connections between these and science anxiety, and to see how a
pedagogy that takes these into account can improve science
learning.
