Changing the focus on Natural Sciences
At present, public debates postulate more attention to natural sciences in the education sector. First, we will examine the precarious status of natural sciences in adult education and than argue that the traditional focus on natural sciences need to be readjusted. This change of focus aims at a general understanding of scientific developments by which both the individual and the society as a whole will gain and maintain its capacity to judge and act on safe ground. We will argue for an understanding of science rather than for factual knowledge. In that sense, natural sciences need to be incorporated into a broader concept of cultural and political education and lifelong learning.
