What Are We Aiming For?--A Delphi Study on the Development of Civic Scientific Literacy in Sweden
Chang Rundgren, Shu-Nu; Rundgren, Carl-Johan
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v61 n2 p224-239 2017
Based on the EU FP 7 project, PROFILES, this article presents our findings from a three-round Delphi study conducted in Sweden that aimed at establishing a consensus on how science education should be developed for citizens to enhance civic scientific literacy. A total of 100 stakeholders (9th graders, school teachers, scientists, and science education researchers) were involved in our Delphi study in 2012-2013. The results revealed that there were some highly ranked consensus ideas: environmental issues, inquiry skills, motivation/interest, and holistic comprehension. The conclusions of our research imply the importance of involving different stakeholders in the educational reconstruction process; we suggest that schoolteachers in particular should play a vital role.
