"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology".

Carl Sagan

 

 

At IUS, secondary science education students are involved in learning, research and teaching!

At  IUS  active science learning is encouraged and made relevant to student learning . Our students are prepared in a constructivist teaching  methodology with emphasis on Science, Technology and Society (STS).

In the last six years,  IUS science education students have present at the National Council on Undergraduate Research, presented over 30 papers and posters at the Hoosiers Association of Science Teachers Inc. (HASTI) conference in Indianapolis, and The Indiana University Undergraduate Research Conference. In addition they have had publications and have won numerous SOE and campus awards for scholarship and service.
