International Standard for Science Education

This standard aims to be innovative in its form; rather than standardizing practices, it seeks to highlight the diversity of practices specific to each country, as well as the academic or cultural backgrounds that shape approaches to science education. The normative part of this tool addresses the criteria for evaluating actions (objectives, educational means...), comparison criteria, and success criteria, beyond differences in implementation.

All national or regional operators within a country who wish for their approach to science education to be represented within the International Standard for Science Education can join the initiative by:

  • registering on the list of Science Education operators
  • sharing the models, tools, and processes they would like to see included in the International Standard for Science Education
  • participating, if they wish, in national consultation meetings held annually as part of the National Science Voyage and Participatory Research Participatory Research see : http://www.voyages-scientifiques.com Fair in their country
  • participating, if they wish, in international consultation meetings held every December at the United Nations in Geneva.
