Foundations of Scientific, Mathematical, and Technological Literacies—Common Themes and Theoretical Frameworks

The Pacific CRYSTAL Centre for Scientific and Technological Literacy was proposed knowing that many people in the academic and educational communities did not have or share common definitions of scientific literacy and mathematical literacy (also known as numeracy) and that the efforts to define and share technological, computer science, and engineering literacies were much more limited. However, Pacific CRYSTAL was designed on an interdisciplinary foundation involving (a) formal and informal environments for learning about science, mathematics, and technology; (b) scientists and engineers from these academic disciplines; and (c) educational researchers from counselling psychology, environmental education, indigenous studies, language and literacy, mathematics education, science education, and technology education.
