Teaching Science Amid Global Uncertainty: Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth review to identify the challenges in teaching science amid global uncertainty and the solutions offered. Climate change, pandemics, social inequality, and rapid technological advancements are just a few examples of the uncertainties that pose real challenges in the 21st century. This research employs a literature review method to examine various scientific sources relevant to the discussed topic. The findings reveal that some of the challenges in science education include a lack of contextualized learning materials, disparities in facilities and technology access, low scientific literacy, and the spread of misinformation and declining trust in science. Therefore, transformation efforts are needed through curriculum reform, teacher training, and learning approaches that emphasize the interconnection between science and global realities.
