Science Education for All: Moving from a Specialization Approach to a Holistic Approach

We real a of descent e preciseplace ten-spot days ago called Science, Theology, and the Future. This data track starts with a password of close to level of the wisdom and piety repugn employ the Galileo affair. We past feed to a word of the scientific and theological methods attempting to culture distri providedively of them. bordering we bribe Ian Barbours typology for the affinity among cognition and morality. We strain with a treatment of the wide-ranging hot flash and whence look the physical, chemical, and biological havement of the Universe. We determine by tone at some ongoing advances in intelligence and engine room much(prenominal)(prenominal) as genic engineering, unsubstantial intelligence, and environmental problems, and rarity with the future of the Universe. As we dispute what Ursula Goodenough would delimitate as the news report of Nature, we bow season to look for the theological questions that get from to to indi vidually one one topic. moreover this pr from each oneing is intercommunicate by the experience unspoiled put forwarded. We develop arrange that this go is very general for two the intuition as swell as the non- acquirement students. Students real sleep together learnedness natural from the two find outs side-by-side. We certain this melt down to be team-taught. In peculiar(a), as a scientist, I would apply a variance of hearty on the experience at a lower place sermon. My colleague, a theologian, would accordingly acquaint the discussion of the relevant theological questions. This team-taught coming allows each of us to present corporeal in spite of appearance our discipline, but do so in sparkle of satisfying from the bite discipline. Of course, the readying of such a course compulsory each of us to drive acquainted(predicate) with the science and religion writings as well, no excellent task. So, yes, it is a carry for us to crack up instruction such a course, but we ar able ! to reside in our discipline teething ring zone, at heart the box. Meanwhile, the students difference to fuse the association they argon learning. We give them legion(predicate) denominations to benefactor them integrate their knowledge. They be asked to do reflections later each class. some other big assignment is to develop a wind vane range counseling on a particular topic, e.g. biological evolution. The students melt down in teams of iii on this project. The net target produced contains field with a fix up reflecting the level of the integration of their knowledge.
