Attitudes To Science: Issues and Concerns.

Abstract

Attitudes to science have been a persistent concern in science education for nearly 40 years. This article briefly reviews some of the main features of the research evidence and the latest data. It is argued that the recent introduction of compulsory science education to 16 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland has not succeeded in changing the level of interest in science and that attention needs to be turned to the curriculum content to make it more relevant and engaging.
