Science education varies across cultures, influenced by factors like educational philosophy, societal values, economic conditions, and historical contexts. Cross-cultural comparisons of science education offer valuable insights into how different countries approach the teaching of scientific concepts and skills, as well as the outcomes they achieve. These comparisons reveal the diverse ways in which science is integrated into curricula, the teaching methods used, and the resources available to both educators and students. By examining the strengths and challenges of various educational systems, we can better understand how cultural contexts shape students' engagement with science, their ability to critically think, and the overall impact on scientific literacy. Such comparisons provide opportunities for mutual learning and the potential to improve science education globally by adopting the best practices from different cultural settings. Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Science Education examines the problems involved in cross-cultural comparisons in science education by drawing on past studies investigating cultural differences. It explores teaching practices and student learning outcomes, considering different concepts of quality teaching and the impact of cultural characteristics on science education. This book covers topics such as mathematics, sociology, and teacher training, and is a useful resource for sociologists, educators, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
