Public Understanding of Science: From Contents to Processes.
Millar, Robin; Wynne, Brian
International Journal of Science Education, v10 n4 p388-98 1988
Argues that the conventional view of public understanding of science may be an unhelpful guide to improved science education practice. Suggests that the public understanding of the "processes," instead of "contents," of science may be more useful to interpret and cope with science, technology, and society issues. (Author/YP)
