Why Science Education?

One of the programs I applied for my masters degree is science education. Getting a science education in the 21st century can be very valuable to children of all ages in which science is what makes up the world around us, and the only way new generations would be able to know that would be by getting a real education in the studies of science. Not only does science education teach young learners problem solving skills that will help them throughout their schooling, it also engages them in science from the very beginning. Such skills are essential to transferring knowledge they gain into different settings such as their real life experiences.
Kids usually form a basic opinion about the sciences after starting school. If this is a negative opinion, it can be hard to engage those students in science as they grow older and become more mature. Engaging young students with exciting material and experiences encourages them to learn and follow the sciences throughout school. Science education has been one of the most important subjects in school due to its importance to students’ lives and the problem-solving and critical thinking skills it uses and develops. These are ultimate skills that allow students to generate ideas, take decisions intelligently and even understand the evidence behind public policy making. Thus, getting a proper education in science makes students smarter, increases their awareness of events going around in the world, inspire kids to be scientists themselves.
