| Summary: | A review of representative instructional strategies and programs which focus on Science-Technology-Society (STS) themes is presented in this digest. A rationale and specific recommendations for the inclusion of an STS component in the science curriculum are offered. The options which exist for instruction of STS themes are identified and examples of each are stated. These include: (1) instructional approaches (highlighting the infusion, activity, and topic organizer approach); (2) units of study-modules (citing programs which consist of single modules, series of units, case study formats, and dilemma situations); (3) international programs (focusing on the offering of the United Kingdom and South East Asia). Selected publications related to STS topics are also identified. (ML) |
