The lesson plan
Socio-critical and problem-oriented science teaching
Socio-critical and problem-oriented approach to science education focuses on increasing learners’ motivation and the perception of relevance in science teaching, just as similar approaches do (Osborne, 2003). This method attempts to explicitly prepare students to both understand and take part in societal consensus-building and decision-making processes dealing with technical and scientific question. This approach is quite typical for Socio- scientific issues-based curricula (Sadler, 2011).
