- catalog abstract "In this comprehensive text, key figures in the fields of science and science education critically discuss the role of science in public policy, in the school and in broader public education. Their contributions form an original dialogue on science education and the general public awareness of science, tackling both formal and informal aspects of science learning. Engaging with the socially contentious areas of this core curriculum subject, as well as the dichotomy between 'science for all' and 'training professional scientists', the authors of these articles uncover the prejudices which haunt the traditional view of science. They offer a range of detailed solutions. The editors argue that a better future for science must involve an open debate on its public role, and this can only happen by breaking down the barriers that divide scientists, schools and the public.".
