Science Education and Pedagogy Service-Learning and Community Engagement Chemistry Education and Research

Abstract

Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities (SENCER) is a national dissemination project for courses in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. SENCER courses connect science and civic engagement by teaching through complex, contested, current, and unresolved public issues to the underlying scientific principles. This paper describes two chemistry courses for non-majors that are based on the SENCER principles, and lists the full array of SENCER model courses that were developed through the project. It also describes the challenges instructors face in designing a SENCER course, setting and assessing the goals of the course, and in teaching for civic engagement.
