Improving Science Learning

John Ainley, ACER

Abstract

Science education experts have called for an urgent re-thinking of the way science is taught in Australia arguing that a greater focus on enquiry and reasoning is needed to boost students’ waning interest in science as John Ainley explains. The recent ACER conference Boosting science learning: what will it take? concluded with a session led by a panel of experts developing a three-point proposal for science education.
