Excellence in Pupils and Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Science
The Nuffield Foundation report (Osborne & Dillon, 2008) concluded that
education in the field of science in Europe has found itself in significant prob-
lems. Especially in the fields of curriculum, teaching, evaluation and profes-
sional development of teachers, as this requires changing the purpose of sci-
ence education. They point out that it should be directed to the entire popu-
lation of children, not just to those who, due to their expressed abilities and
interests, prefer those areas.
