Abstract	'Teaching in context' has become an accepted, and often welcomed, way of teaching science in both primary and secondary schools. The conference organised by IPN [Leibniz-Institut für die Pädagogik der Naturwissenschaften, Kiel] and the University of York Science Education Group, "Context-based science curricula", drew on the experience of over 40 science educators and 10 projects. The book is arranged in four parts. Part A consists of two papers, one on situated learning and the other on implementation of new curricula. Part B contains descriptions of five major curricula in different countries, why they were introduced, how they were developed and implemented and evaluation results. Part C gives descriptions of three projects that are of smaller scale and their materials are used as interventions in other more conventional curricula. There is also a contribution on some fundamental research where modules of work are written to examine how best to design context-based curricula. Finally, Part D consists of two chapters, one summarising some of the findings that came out of the chapters in the three earlier parts and the second looks at the future. (DIPF/Orig.).
