Abstract

Whilst curriculum reform is taking place in Wales and Scotland, the national curriculum in England has not been reviewed over the last ten years and is outdated in many respects. It is content heavy, prioritises rote memorisation over critical thinking, problem solving and practical skills and discourages cross-disciplinary exploration.
So science educators are conveyors of scientific knowledge and skills but also mentors, guides, and role models who foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for discovery. Science educators ignite the spark of curiosity that drives students to explore the wonders of the natural world, understand complex scientific concepts, and develop the skills and attitudes needed to tackle real-world challenges.
