The Rationale and Challenge for the Integration of Science Studies in the Revision of General Education Curricula
Hammer, Christy; Dusek, Val
Journal of General Education, v55 n1 p1-16 2006
A broadened view of scientific literacy for general education revision is detailed, including the history, philosophy, and sociology of science and science and technology studies. We provide a case study from an interdisciplinary college, argue for the integration of science studies into general education curricula, and discuss barriers to success.
