Definition

  • In the post-Sputnik years of the 1960s and 1970s, a surge of interest in science education dominated, along with mathematics, the federally funded mandates in curriculum and pedagogy in the United States and by other governments internationally. Not entirely inconsequentially, the emergence of international comparison testing of student performance in mathematics and sciences has become an industry in and of itself.
