Science Literacy Competence Framework for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Curriculum

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

The science literacy competence framework outlines key concepts to be incorporated in curriculum and module design. Science literacy is essential for tackling the spread of science mis-/disinformation on social media platforms. The President of the National Academies in the United States and the Editor-in-Chief of Science have called for the teaching of the norms and values, as well as philosophy of science to bolster public trust in science.
