Making Science Make Sense

Bayer Facts of Science Education Survey

KEY QUESTIONS FROM THE BAYER FACTS OF SCIENCE EDUCATION SURVEYS

Each of the surveys separately probed several specific aspects of public opinion about pre-college science education. While not every area of questioning was asked of every group, overall the survey results answer the following questions:

• How important is a basic knowledge of science for us and for our children?
  
  
• How interested are we in science and how comfortable are we explaining science to our children?
  
  
• How well do we currently teach science?
  
  
• Does today's science education meet the needs of our workforce?
  
  
• Do our children get the resources they need for a high quality science education at school and at home?
  
  
• How can we make sure our children get the best possible education in science?
