Unfortunately, this  reality is rarely examined in the light of what interests the everyday  lives of ordinary people rather than the lives of political and  economic elites. The purpose of this book is to offer insightful and  thought-provoking commentary on both realities. The tacit question  throughout the book is `Whose interests are being served by current  science education practices and policies?' The various chapters offer  critical analysis from the perspectives of culture, economics,  epistemology, equity, gender, language, and religion in an effort to  promote a reflective science education that takes place within, rather  than taking over, the important cultural lives of people. \u003cbr\u003e  The target audience for the book includes graduate students in  education, science education and education policy professors, policy  and government officials involved with education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792349884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792349884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5224-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 221\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358953468044,"sku":"9780792349884","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792349884.jpg?v=1755098982","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792349884","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
