Concluding comments
The process of developing scientific literacy equips students with the necessary knowledge, values, skills and attitudes for making informed decisions about key issues and future considerations of an ever-changing scientific and technological society. This practice transpires through a process of inquiry and gradually sophisticating students’ abilities to apply scientific thoughts as they interact with the world around them. Clearly, this is an abundantly important pursuit and indicates the need to combat inhibiting factors such incompetency and anxiety amongst teachers, as well as the misguided focus on test results.
