An emerging focus on pre-college education in the 1980s is the interaction of science and technology in terms of their combined interrelationships with society. The characterizations of the science/technology/society (S/T/S) theme, as advanced by science educators, social studies educators, and environmental educators, exhibit similarities. It is the purpose of this document to highlight the interconnections of the S/T/S perspectives of the three fields and, in particular, to note contributions that environmental education might make to the implementation of the various S/T/S goals of general education. This involves the description of the S/T/S involvements of all three threats, comparisons of the work of individuals and of organizations working toward similar goals, and an examination of the question, to what extent should attempts to implement S/T/S goals include and emphasize environmental education components? Goal statements relating to the S/T/S threats from all three fields are listed/referenced, as well as those proposed by some associated global education and citizenship education efforts. Examples of programs that are already including environmental education components in S/T/S oriented materials are described. (TW)
