In Defense of Defining Science Education as the Science/Society Interface.
Yager, Robert E.
Science Education, v69 n2 p143-44 Apr 1985
Defends the definition of science education as the interface of science and society, pointing out the fallacies of an alternative definition promulgated by Good, Herron, Lawson, and Renner who, in a previous article (SE 537 615) examined and rejected the science/society interface definition in favor of their own definition.
