STS and Comparative Assessment of Scientific Theory.
Fensham, Peter J.
Research in Science Education, v25 n1 p33-38 1995
The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) endeavored to achieve a balance between student learning of school science in a competitive sense and the variety of science learnings that contemporary curricula for science expect. The impact of science-technology-society (STS) on science curricula is used to explore these tensions in the planning of TIMSS. (14 references) (Author/JRH)
