Andreas Sleicher, who led the PISA in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, told me that the test was intended to encourage a student’s sense of agency. He says this will be based in part on materials that have long been covered in schools in countries, including Japan and Canada.
Meanwhile, back home in the United States, science professors are spreading client literacy guidance such as the Samizdat-The Termine for independently publishing banned books in the former Soviet Union. Colorado quotes the driver In updated state scientific standards, it is currently being considered. And the University of Washington Add a new page With the participation of a copy of the management for an existing online open educational resource called STEM teaching tools, which receives about 10,000 to 15,000 visitors a month.
Education Consultant Deb Morrison, who has worked on the STEM teaching resource, says they rushed to release it on time for National Conference on Scientific Education In Philadelphia in March, where they held a dozen sessions on the topic of science teachers from all over the country.
“I would say that the teachers in every country teach the climate,” she said. “It may be framed to manage the type of tension that exists in different places, you can meet with people where they are, but still teaching a climate in Florida, in Maine, in Mississippi, in Oregon, in Alabama.”
However, Morrison said that the removal of leadership from his domain dot.gov, not to mention the cancellation of the main government collection of climate data, is a challenge not only for scientific knowledge, but also of justice, justice and democracy.
“We are now voting on the basis of an opinion or pseudo-expert perpetsis in different spaces, and no one actually teaches and uses evidence.”
For Schleicher, the improvement of climate literacy through PISA is a key part of a wider project to promote scientific knowledge such as the basis of international cooperation. In a world where you can find entire YouTube channels dedicated to the claim that Earth is flat, he said: “Science actually builds a consensus among people on an objective reality based on evidence.” Without this, it is difficult to imagine a peaceful or prosperous future for anyone.
Note: This is my last climate column and education for Hachinger’s report with the support of this is Planet Ed at the Aspen Institute. They contribute to this series in 2022 and have covered early education through the development of the workforce, traditional and local knowledge, climate stories in children’s media and others. It was an honor for me and you can find my prolonged freelance coverage of these topics here, at Hecheser, at GRIST and at My My Weekly newsletterS You can also register for a climate change newsletter and education hereS
