Thursday, November 6 • 10:20am - 11:10amScience Education Gone Wilde: Creating Science References that WorkScience education suffers from more than a little bit of its own problem with earnestness and triviality. As politicians, education reformers, and social critics point out relentlessly, STEM literacy is crucial to the nation's well-being, not simply as an economic driver but because average citizens must increasingly grapple with the practical and ethical impacts of new science and technologies in their lives. Most conversations about science education and, indeed, most educational science works therefore come wrapped in a mantle of earnest gravitas—which is a shame because it only reinforces the joyless “eat your vegetables, they're good for you” impression with which much of the public regards science and makes students approach their science lessons with dutiful, doomed resignation. This is not a formula for success.
