Few people question the importance of science education in American
schooling. The public readily accepts that it is the key to
economic growth through innovation, develops the ability to reason
more effectively, and enables us to solve the everyday problems we
encounter through knowing how the world works. Good science
teaching results in all these benefits and more - or so we think.
But what if all this is simply wrong? What if the benefits we
assume science education produces turn out to be an illusion,
nothing more than wishful thinking? In Why We Teach Science (and
Why We Should), former high school teacher and historian of science
education John L. Rudolph examines the reasons we've long given for
teaching science and assesses how they hold up to what we know
about what students really learn (or don't learn) in science
classrooms and what research tells us about how people actually
interact with science in their daily lives. The results will
surprise you. Instead of more and more rigorous traditional science
education to fill the STEM pipeline, Rudolph challenges us to think
outside the box and makes the case for an expansive science
education aimed instead at rebuilding trust between science and the
public - something we desperately need in our current era of
impending natural challenges and science denial.
