Focusing on science education for K-12 students, this volume considers subjects such as the capacity of adolescents to learn 21st century skills, possible curriculum models, and science teacher readiness. The chapters stick closely to workshop sessions, summarizing both the initial presentation and the subsequent discussion. The questions raised and subsequent answers are reported faithfully, as are the results of discussions of workshop participants divided into small groups. The volume has not been indexed.
