Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2009, Vol 11, Issue 5

Abstract

The paper deals with basic functioning, objectives and challenges of science education at the threshold of the 21st century. The authors define complex issues of science education: global environmental issues and problems, interrelation of science, technology and society, key concepts and crucial issues of science education along with inter-disciplinary thinking. Due to global trends in curricula management, the autonomy of science teachers rises as well as the amount of their responsibility. The most important selected issues are discussed within the article and the authors attempt to seek optimum solution.
