Summary

Contributing to the social justice agenda of redefining what science is and what it means in the lives of real people, this book takes up the challenge of building an approach to science education from the standpoint of the learner. With this orientation to science and scientific literacy, science educators can begin to make inroads into the currently widespread irrelevance of science in the everyday lives of people.
