  2. Keynote speakerProfessor Derek Hodson Time for action: Building a curriculum for the future From social, economic and environmental perspectives, we live in turbulent times, with increasingly complex problems and challenges at the local, regional and global levels. Science education as currently practiced does little to prepare our students to address these problems carefully, critically, confidently, responsibly and effectively. If anything, it serves to reproduce the kind of thinking and to foster the kind of values that created many of the problems. We need to take the bull by the horns and implement a curriculum that focuses on life in the 21st century in all its complexity and uncertainty, equips students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to confront the complex and often ill-defined socioscientific issues they encounter daily, enables them to reach their own views through debate and argument about where they stand on major socioscientific issues, including the moral-ethical issues they often raise, and builds responsible and engaged citizenship through opportunities to experience and learn from sociopolitical action.
