eight science curricula are key factors
to sustain and develop the interest in
science
there seems to be a broad agreement
about the critique of the old curricula
still the dominating in most countries
nine science education in most countries
is criticized for being traditional and
rather old-fashioned
the implicit image of science is that it
is mainly a massive body of

knowledge
10 a general trend is that there seems
to be less influence from the
traditional academic organization of
curricula
and contents
[Music]
11 the nature of science that nature of
science
has become an important concern in the
curriculum
this often means a rejection of the
often stereotypical image of science as
a simple search for objective and final

are just a few of the many examples of
science and technology contributing
greatly to resolution of safety or

[Music]
15 in order for science and technology
to contribute firmly to a safe and

it is important to promote research and
development into solutions to safety and
security related problems and to build a
