Science Literacy

1 report
Science Literacy is a science-literacy topic concerned with interpreting evidence, probability, sources, uncertainty, and disagreement. The concept is evaluated through evidence evaluation and risk communication, keeping formal definitions and assumptions separate from observations or consequences.

The page treats educational or policy interventions; measured outcomes; and definitions and assessment as distinct parts of Science Literacy. The strength of statements about educational or policy interventions depends on how well longitudinal outcomes is supported by validated assessments; the result is bounded by the possibility that test performance may not capture how people evaluate evidence in real decisions.
