Conceptual Framework for New Science Education Standards

Completed

Topics

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, this study proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field.
