A New Vision for Science in the National Curriculum: How Should the Curriculum Deal with Climate Change?
Export to calendarThis after-school/work seminar explored a new vision for science in the national curriculum, looking at how it might critically deal with climate change.
The urgency of the climate crisis demands a transformative approach to education, with science curricula playing a pivotal role in preparing young people to understand and tackle this global challenge. How should the national curriculum evolve to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking necessary to address climate change?
In this seminar, we examined a new vision for science in the national curriculum, critically exploring the ways in which it might deal with climate change. The seminar begins with a presentation from Professor Michael Reiss, followed by responses from science and geography teacher education colleagues, and then discussion.
For: Practitioners (e.g. science and geography educators), researchers, or policy professionals interested in discussing how evolutions to the science curriculum can support students tackling the issue of climate change.
This event is part of the Oxford University Department of Education’s Future of Curriculum and Assessment in England project.
