Collaboration of Science and Technology Education and Science and Technology Communication in the Context of Innovation in Science Education

The Case from the Engage Project

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Technology Education Studies ((ITES,volume 15))

Abstract

There is a growing interest in bridging science & technology education (STE) and science & technology communication (STC) for mutual benefits. Several researchers call attention to connecting these two fields that have shared goals but developed as separate disciplines (Baram-Tsabari & Osborne, 2015; Negrete & Lartigue, 2004).
