The Social Relevance of Science and Technology Education. An Annotated Bibliographic Guide. Science and Technology Education Document Series No. 18.
Millstone, Erik; Crouch, David
Developed as part of UNESCO's program in the teaching of science and technology, this bibliographic guide is intended to assist those concerned with curriculum development by providing annotated references to materials aimed at making science and technology more socially relevant. Materials are included which would help pupils, teachers, and teachers of teachers to think about the social relations of science and technology in developing countries. The references are organized into five major sections. These include: (1) "The Social and Economic Role of Scientific and Technological Knowledge and Personnel"; (2) "Science and Technology Education"; (3) "Science and Technology in Developing Countries"; (4) "Consequences of the Application of Science Based Technological Innovations"; and (5) "Science and Technology and the Satisfaction of Basic Needs and Social Goals." Each of the major sections and sub-sections contains an introduction which reviews the addressed topics. An appendix is also included which provides the names and addresses of international agencies and publishers. (ML)
