Statutory task no. 5: Science and Society
The CTP is the only research unit of the Polish Academy of Sciences that has been involved for 17 years in a range of practical efforts to foster greater science awareness among the broadest possible groups of society, in particular among school and university students. The outcomes of such efforts have included the creation of an interdisciplinary "School of Science" (subsequently incorporated into the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw) and the organization by CTP staff members of Poland's largest science-education initiatives: the Science Picnic, the Copernicus Science Centre, and most recently developing a Polish version of the Khan Academy.
The massive changes that have occurred in the IT field in recent years demand a thorough rethinking and recalibration of educational methods, if education is meant to be the main driving force behind the development of a knowledge-based society in Poland. This explains the need for a "Science and Society" line of research (which unfortunately gains insufficient attention in Poland) at the CTP. The first study, slated for 2014, involved analyzing existing practices and working out guidelines as to the necessary changes in how the natural sciences are taught, starting from regular primary schools up, based on a critical analysis of the current curriculum and an indication of the consequences of these changes in further stages of education.
The outcome of this work will involve preparing an evaluation of the situation in Polish schools in light of the changes taking place in the world in this respect. In recent years, the CTP has done much work in the "Science and Society" field, though it was fragmented and not systematized as a single research task. All educational results achieved in the "Science and Society" field have a direct practical impact. The CTP is the only research unit in Poland that has the ability to directly confront its research in this field against the actual practices of education, through its existing strong cooperative ties with schools.
