Meeting the Global Challenge? Comparing Recent Initiatives in School Science and Technology.
Jordan, Steven; Yeomans, David
Comparative Education, v39 n1 p65-81 Feb 2003
Two recent initiatives to promote science and technology education in schools are compared: specialist "technology colleges" (secondary schools) in England and the Science and Technology Teacher Fellowship scheme in New Zealand. The schemes are examined within their respective policy contexts and are evaluated as responses to challenges posed for science and technology education by globalization and the growing "knowledge economy." (Contains 51 references.) (Author/SV)
