Improving epistemological beliefs and moral judgment through an STS-based science ethics education program
What is this about?
This study develops a Science–Technology–Society (STS)-based science ethics education program for high school students planning to major in science and engineering. The program includes the fields of philosophy, history, sociology and ethics of science and technology and other STS-related theories and aims to help solve moral and social dilemmas in science and engineering. The authors conclude that there was significant development in students' epistemological beliefs and moral judgment.
