Global science education is a reality at the end of the 20th
century - albeit an uneven reality - because of tremendous
technological and economic pressures. Unfortunately, this reality
is rarely examined in the light of what interests the everyday
lives of ordinary people rather than the lives of political and
economic elites. The purpose of this book is to offer insightful
and thought-provoking commentary on both realities. The tacit
question throughout the book is Whose interests are being served by
current science education practices and policies?' The various
chapters offer critical analysis from the perspectives of culture,
economics, epistemology, equity, gender, language, and religion in
an effort to promote a reflective science education that takes
place within, rather than taking over, the important cultural lives
of people. The target audience for the book includes graduate
students in education, science education and education policy
professors, policy and government officials involved with
education.
