Climate Change coming to a school curriculum near you. Academics are now publishing their views that students do NOT fully comprehend climate change. The thrust for curriculum change is coming from our esteemed university professors. They want science disciplines to be integrated to allow students a complete understanding of the climate science. If we want to improve this situation, it needs to begin in school with a curriculum which promotes understanding of climate science as well as pro-environmental behaviour. Teachers need to be aware of common alternative conceptions (often held by teachers themselves) and be given the resources and skills to overcome them. Statistics show that fewer students are choosing science in their senior years, maybe these kids do know something. Whats that old saying: If you cant do, then teach, if you cant teach, then lecture. Appropriate or not?
