520 |a A look at why the Twenty-First Century Science pilot GCSE was commissioned, an evaluation of its success and a discussion about the importance of scientific literacy today. In 1998, the Beyond 2000 Report from King's College made major recommendations for changes to science education. The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority commissioned the University of York Science Education Group to develop an alternative model for GCSE science. The Twenty-First Century Science project team tackled the problem by creating three courses to suit the differing needs of students. Andrew Hunt, Project Director and Peter Campbell, Project Officer, explain the aims of the courses in more detail and visit Haggerston School to see how the pilot is progressing. The pilot GCSE has been popular at Haggerston, inspiring teachers and students. They give their opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the course and consider whether this is the way forward for the future. 
520 |a Twenty-First Century Science is a new GCSE that has is being piloted in 76 schools across England and Wales. In this programme, Twenty-First Century Science is being taught at Haggerston School in Hackney, a comprehensive community school for 900 girls aged 11-16 years. The pilot has three GCSE courses designed to meet the interests of different students - core, applied and general. Core is taken by all students, applied and general are alternative additional subjects. The programme follows the pilot in action and discovers that the most innovative part of the project is the core course, which covers major scientific explanations and the skills required to make judgments about science. In applied, the students look at a much narrower field of science but from the point of view of a practitioner. The general course is aimed at students who are interested in science as an academic pursuit.
