Science Teaching and Learning in Future Higher Education: Future-Oriented Projects of Interdisciplinary Science Curriculum Development (The Israeli Connection)
Technological developments affect and disturb all aspects of human existence and values more than any other factor in our modern man-made world. This calls for responsive higher education which will produce better decision-makers capable of being actively, rationally, and creatively involved in the continuous search for solutions to our current and future problems in a world of conflicting interests and values. Consequently, science teaching in future higher education should be drastically changed in order to be relevant to needs of both students and society rather than to reflect the needs of the disciplines per se.
