Designing and Developing Science-Technology-Society (STS) Video Resources for High School Chemistry Students in Alberta, Canada

Resumen

Efforts to incorporate a Science, Technology and Society (STS) emphasis into curriculum frameworks are becoming increasingly common. More challenging is the development of resources to match and support the curriculum framework. In Alberta, Canada, several resources have been, or are in development to support the Science Programs of Study. These include textbooks, videos and classroom assessment materials. Most interesting and comprehensive are telecourses consisting of 50 videos with print guides to instruct the entire Grade 12 Chemistry program.
