It aims to develop scientifically and environmentally literate citizens who can solve problems and communicate effectively. However, the document warns that science educators must be careful not to unconsciously promote the idea that science is impersonal, authoritative and lacking in creativity. Instead, students should learn that science is a human endeavor influenced by judgments, values and interests, and scientific understanding can change based on new evidence.

Introduction:

In the K to 12 Curriculum, Science is one of the core subjects from Grade 3 to 10


pupils. It envisions the development of scientifically, technologically, and
environmentally literate and productive members of society who are critical problem
solvers, responsible stewards of nature, innovative and creative citizens, informed
decision makers, and effective communicators.
The job of science education is to teach students how to use thematic patterns of
science to communicate meanings, “talking science” to solve problems in writing or
speaking about issues in which science is relevant. The goal of helping students learn
to communicate about science is important, but we must also be aware of potentially
harmful messages that can be unconsciously communicated to our students.
As science educators, we not only teach science but we may communicate a
“mystique of science” attitude, promoting the idea that science is authoritative,
impersonal and humorless, lacking creativity or values. This communicates a view that
scientists are “experts” or “them,” rather than seeing ourselves as scientists.
Scientific writing and talk often project science as a description of the way the
world works rather than as a human social activity that tries to make sense of the world.
We instead should help our students learn that science is all around us, influenced by
human uncertainties, judgments, values, and interests.
It’s important that we emphasize the human side of science. These well-
established ideas about the nature of science have a lasting effect on students, so we
need to be sensitive about the messages we communicate. Science is creative and
science is tentative, which means that scientists recognize that we understand things
based on current research.
