The science education standards provide criteria for judging the performance of the
components of the science education system responsible for providing schools with necessary
financial and intellectual resources. In the education system, the school is the central
institution for public education. The school includes many components that interact, for
example, teaching, administration, and finance.
The primary function of the science education is to supply society with scientifically literate
citizens. Information and resources (typically financial) energize the system. The nature of the
information, the magnitude of resources, and the paths along which they flow are directed by
policies that are contained in instruments such as legislation, judicial rulings, and budgets.
Components of the science education that have a major influence on teacher certification fit
into four categories: (1) professional societies, (2) program-accrediting agencies, (3)
government agencies, and (4) institutions of higher education operating within and across
national, state, and local levels. The importance of standards does not imply that all teachers
should pursue a single approach to teaching science. Teachers need to use many different
strategies to develop the understandings and abilities
This paper presents what students should understand and be able to do, how students should
be taught, and means for assessing students' understandings, abilities, and dispositions in
science. Also, it approaches an educational system in which all students demonstrate high
levels of performance, in which teachers are empowered to make the decisions essential for
effective learning, in which interlocking communities of teachers and students are focused on
learning science, and in which supportive educational programs and systems nurture
achievement. Finally, this paper compares features in common and standards across the
countries of the EU and gives the differences between countries in terms of the intended
curriculum and the assessment used.
