“…One frequently cited reason is that learners perceive school science and science more broadly as both difficult, and as 'irrelevant' both for themselves and for the society in which they live and operate (Dillon, 2009;Gilbert, 2006;Holbrook, 2008;Stuckey, Hofstein, Mamlok-Naaman, & Eilks, 2013). Science teachers have worked to make education 'more relevant' in order to better interest and motivate their students (Holbrook, 2003(Holbrook, , 2005Newton, 1988aNewton, , 1988b; however, it remains unclear that this has had much effect.…”

“…Opetuksen ja erityisesti tiedeopetuksen tavoitteita asettavat paitsi kansalliset opetuksesta vastaavat viranomaiset myös sidosryhmät, kuten opettajat, tutkijat, teollisuus ja kansainväliset organisaatiot (European Commission, 2004;European Commission, 2015;Sjøberg & Schreiner, 2010;Stuckey, Hofstein, Mamlok-Naaman, & Eilks, 2013). Tavoitteita voidaan tarkastella eri näkökulmista: ne voivat liittyä yleisiin yhteiskunnan ja sidosryhmien etuihin sekä yksilön tarpeisiin ja kasvatuksellisiin näkökoh-tiin.…”

“…Näin ollen relevanssi saa monia erilaisia merkityksiä, mikä heijastaa jo johdannossa esiteltyä tiedeopetuksen tavoitteisiin vaikuttavien sidosryhmien moninaisuutta. Varsin tuore ja kattava katsaus relevanssi-termin merkityksestä tiedeopetusta koskevassa kirjallisuudessa totesikin sen riittämättömästi määritellyksi (Stuckey, Hofstein, Mamlok-Naaman, & Eilks, 2013). He jäsensivät relevanssin kä-sitteen kolmeen ulottuvuuteen: yksilöllinen, yhteiskunnallinen ja ammatillinen relevanssi.…”
