Science process skills and education for sustainable development competences: A review through the lens of critical realism

2026Open accessRhodes University

Abstract

This review is developed as a treatise on how scientific process skills and the associated competences are currently inscribed in the curriculum. It is developed around the developing imperatives for the curriculum sciences to take up education for sustainable development around global concerns for biodiversity loss, environmental pollution and climate change. It draws on critical realism as a vantage point on scientific processes to open up some tools for reinscribing science process skills and competences as pertinent necessities of curriculum-activated processes of transformative learning.
