STS Education offers a rich, internationally diverse collection by educational leaders, including Peter Fensham, David Layton, Hilary Rose, Herb Thier, Bill Williams, and John Ziman. Part I describes the roots of STS education. Part II examines projects and programs as they actually exist in classrooms. Part III considers the cultural aspects of science education and argues that sts successfully addresses problems such as the public understanding of science in Western countries and the challenge of teaching science in non-Western communities. Part IV analyzes the reasons women often feel alienated from existing "valid and neutral" science. Part V covers research into STS education. "This book speaks effectively to the science-teaching establishment."
