This book explores how science learning can be more relevant and
interesting for students and teachers by using a contextualized
approach to science education. The contributors explore the
contextualization of science education from multiple angles, such
as teacher education, curriculum design, assessment and educational
policy, and from multiple national perspectives. The aim of this
exploration is to provide and inspire new practical approaches to
bring science education closer to the lives of students to
accelerate progress towards global scientific literacy. The book
presents real life examples of how to make science relevant for
children and adolescents of diverse ethnic and language
backgrounds, socioeconomic status and nationalities, providing
tools and guidance for teacher educators and researchers to improve
the contextualization and cultural relevance of their practice. The
book includes rigorous studies demonstrating that the
contextualization of science learning environments is essential for
student engagement in learning science and practitioners'
reflections on how to apply this knowledge in the classroom and at
national scale. This approach makes this book valuable for
researchers and professors of science education and international
education interested in designing teacher education courses that
prepare future teachers to contextualize their teaching and in
adding a critical dimension to their research agendas.
