Students after graduating school must have both, knowledge and basic skills for ac-tive life-action, which includes their ability to evaluate their knowledge and skills for usabil-ity both in everyday life and in future. In this article knowledge of different problems within science education and its usability for future life, evaluated by the Latvian 12th grade stu-dents, has been analysed by using a poll, which has been previously approved in Nordic countries. Results show that Latvian students’ knowledge about different problems of human biology is relatively higher than in other fields of science. On the other hand students demonstrate a lack of skills for generalization, therefore knowledge is sometimes insufficient. Only slightly more than half of students recognized their knowledge in science, obtained at school, as suitable for their future life. Key words: basic skills, human biology, knowledge, school science.

This paper is organized into two major parts: a review of current activities in science education, and a review of the articles within this special issue. Project 2061 (aaas) and the scope, sequence, and coordination project (nsta) are ongoing efforts to develop new approaches for school science programs. Other reports and journals in the science education field are described briefly. “Constructivism” and “alternative assessment” are two of the ideas science educators are currently exploring as ways to improve science teaching and learning. The last section includes brief reviews of each of the other papers in this issue with special focus on the science education dimension. There is much we can learn from each other.

<p><strong>Abstract </strong>The concept of <em>ḥ</em><em>hubb</em> is closely related to daily life. Anyone must have love. Whether it's love from biological aspect, social aspect, or theological aspect. This is one of the reasons why researchers choose the term <em>ḥ</em><em>hubb</em>. And the other reasons are, <em>first</em>, the word <em>ḥ</em><em>hubb</em> is one of the key words in al-Qurān that describes the concept of deed, whether it is the concept of worship, as well as the social concept beloved by God and it is important to be known as the sustainer of everyday life. <em>Secondly</em>, the translation of al-Qurān gives only the earliest description of the meaning of the word <em>ḥ</em><em>hubb</em> only to the extent of the meaning of love, thus requiring a deeper explanation in order to know its meaning comprehensively. So, this study will discuss about the concept of <em>ḥ</em><em>hubb</em> according Sahl bin ‘Abdullāh at-Tusturī<em> </em>in <em>Tafs</em><em>ī</em><em>r al-Qur</em><em>ā</em><em>n al-A</em>ẓ<em>ī</em><em>m</em>. He was known by a <em>muta</em><em>ṣ</em><em>aww</em><em>ī</em><em>f </em>and <em>mufass</em><em>ī</em><em>r</em></p>

This chapter discusses Hans Blumenberg's very first philosophical publication, “The Linguistic Reality of Philosophy.” In this publication, he hints at the question of how history manifests itself in language and how these manifestations allow an inference to past realities. The philosophical reality of language shatters and transgresses the terminology not only of everyday life but also of that with which the scholar is intimately familiar. To this one has to add an aspect that causes frustration, and indeed fundamental concern, in anyone familiar with the complex terminology of the natural sciences: that philosophy as a science appears to possess nothing resembling a uniform terminology and by that fact alone largely stands out against the other spheres of the exact analysis of reality. Even where the consistent use of concepts seems to suggest such uniformity, a closer look soon reveals contradictions and differentiations of meaning. Language as articulation of thought appears to have two basic possibilities at its disposal: one monological and the other dialogical.

Mathematics is an important nature exploration tool used by all natural sciences. So it is usual that mathematical calculations are part of school science education. But how are these calculations perceived by the learners themselves? What are their attitudes to this part of the teaching process? The answer to this question is important for any teacher who seeks to improve her/his teaching experience. The paper deals with the research of learners´ attitudes towards using mathematical calculations within physics lessons. Semantic differential for the sample of 230 primary and secondary school pupils was used in order to determine their attitudes towards this aspect and investigate the influence of grade and gender on the attitudes. The analysis of acquired data shows slightly negative learners´attitude to the mathematical calculations and some particular differences between grades and genders.

A need to combine school knowledge with everyday life knowledge, skill of understanding of natural world already exists during lessons of science nature at elementary school. To show to pupils, which information, news, skills are particularly important, useful and indispensable for far education, revision lessons be led. Teachers know that these lessons play an important role in process of teaching. All exercises should have definite content-related and didactic value. Taking into account the natural children’s knowledge, the amazing curiosity of world, spontaneity, passion for asking, teachers should prepare exercises in a proper way. Child’s creative abilities from literary, artistic, theatrical ones and its actual knowledge should be also used to prepare some selected activities. Key words: natural science education, revision lesson, teaching process, didactic materials.

SALINGTEMAS approach is a combination of STS (Science, Technology and Society) and EE (Environmental Education).In abroad, the approach is known as SALINGTEMAS (Science, Education, Technology and Society) otherwise in Indonesia,it is known as SALINGTEMAS. The main characteristic of SALINGTEMAS is learning something based on the problemsand the issues faced by students in everyday life that contains components of science and technology. SALINGTEMAS triesto provide an understanding of the role of the environment on science, technology and society, and the other way. There arefour phases in learning using SALINGTEMAS approach, namely: invitation phase, exploration, suggest of explanations andsolutions as well as take action. In the teaching biology process, this approach is associated with the elements ofenvironment, technology and society integratively. There are so many topics or biological problems that can be solved usingSALINGTEMAS approach

Plenty of factors occurring in human environment can influence the activities and health of people, damage the produced goods and inevitably destroy plans of future. Microorganisms that surround people should be treated as an active component of human nature. Majority of them are invisible to men, their activity is not felt and the significance is underestimated until one meets with the consequences caused by microorganism action: plant yield destroyed, carefully fostered animals suddenly die, children or other close people get sick. Here one encounters a vast, hardly familiar and hazardous world of microorganisms, which has been heard of, but has received little attention. Due the immense diversity and versatile possibilities of action microorganisms acquire outstanding power and significance in the permanent processes of mater turnover, draw attention and enable to include this issue into programs of public education. Key words: science education, microorganisms

In the time of curricular reforms across the Europe another chance appeared towards increasing learners´ interest in science education, particularly in relation to the future job selection in the field of natural sciences and technology. Innovations in natural science instruction can be conducted in various ways, e.g. (Bílek & Klečková, 2006): (1) learners´ interest in natural sciences and their instruction (What am I interested in?; What would I like to learn?; What learning content should be learned?) – answers to these questions were discussed i.e. in the analysis of the international comparative study ROSE (Relevance of Science Education) (ROSE Project, 2018), (2) context of instruction (optimally – “school science”, application context, social context, personality context), (3) learning content (standards; Framework and School programmes; traditions; new topics) or (4) competences (key competences; “scientific literacy“; activities in natural science).

Scientific research activity (SRA) is a constituent part of university studies. It is very important that this activity was consequently developed, and that the students acquired necessary research activity competencies. On the other hand, scientific research activity realises the essential teacher preparation paradigm direction – towards research based teacher education. On the basis of two qualitative research, a comparative analysis was carried out, seeking to analyse how differ positions of two study field students, pre-service teachers in respect of scientific research activity. In the research participated 84 pre-service teachers of natural sciences and 90 pre-service teachers of social sciences. The research was carried out between February and March, 2016. Research results show, that these two group students’ position in respect of SRA significantly differs. Keywords: comparative analysis, science education, scientific research activity, university students.
