How do people understand science? How do they feel about science,
how do they relate to it, what do they hope from it and what do
they fear about it? Science of the People: Understanding and using
science in everyday contexts helps answer these questions as the
result of painstaking interviewing by Professor Joan Solomon of all
and sundry in a fairly typical small town. The result is a unique
overview of how a very wide range of adults, united only by local
geography, relate to science. Many of the findings run contrary to
what is widely believed about how science is learnt and about how
people view it. Chapters include: An Approach to Awareness Publics
for Science? Ethics and Action Interpretation and Change Joan
Solomon, who sadly died before this book could be published,
enjoyed an international reputation in science education. After a
long career teaching science in secondary schools she moved into
the university sector and ending up holding chairs of science
education at the Open University, King's College London and the
University of Plymouth. She was a world leader in her subject and
inspired classroom teachers and wrote a number of very influential
papers with some of them. She produced many important books,
booklets and other resources to help science teachers and science
educators get to grips with the history and philosophy of science
and the teaching of energy, amongst other topics. This book is
essential reading for those involved in Science education and
educational policy.
