This paper reports on the state of affairs of the "Erziehungswissenschaften" in the Netherlands. For this description of the educational sciences we primarily rely on a report written in 2014 by a committee that prepared a discipline plan educational sciences (CSO 2014). This report was commissioned by the association of universities in the Netherlands (VSNU .), the umbrella association of research universities. Such reports regularly are prepared to describe the state of affairs of a discipline and advice on policies for the future development of a discipline. For the educational sciences, the committee was composed of representatives of most universities at the level of university executive boards, faculty deans and department chairs. (DIPF/Orig.) ; Der Autor setzt sich mit der Situation der Erziehungswissenschaft in den Niederlanden auseinander. Dafür stellt er u.a. Ergebnisse des "Sectorplan onderwijswetenschappen" vor, in dessen Mittelpunkt die Frage steht, welchen Einfluss universitäre erziehungswissenschaftliche Forschung, die in den Niederlanden explizit interdisziplinär verstanden wird, auf Bildungspraxis und Bildungspolitik hat. Eine bessere Verzahnung zwischen erziehungswissenschaftlicher Forschung sowie Bildungspraxis und Bildungspolitik könnte langfristig eine Stärkung der Erziehungswissenschaft in den Niederlanden ermöglichen.

There are certain intellectual concepts that have emerged from Turkey's experience of societal, cultural and political transformation through the processes of industrialization, modernization, rationalization and the general global expansion of Western ideas and systems. Concepts in science and about society have not been static, but undergoing change, and they also have been intimately involved in the transformations of Turkey's cultural, economic and political structures through the processes of Westernization, secularization and modernization. These structures and processes now are undergoing a twin transformation of globalization and localization. Among these concepts are the ones typically found in sociology textbooks, such as society, community, culture, civilization, economy, power, nation-state, religion, science, modernization and development. These concepts, however, are not theory-free, culture-free or ideology-free, and their relationships with each other and hence their meanings are context-bound, theory-bound and culture-bound. The objective of this article is to follow the evolution of a few of these concepts in the everyday language and discourses of media pundits and of secular and religious intellectuals. Our approach examines various sociological and historical research and analyses, and proposes the beginning of a road map for future investigations.

The purpose of this study is to compare the education systems in the United States and Chile. Through an auto-ethnographic lens, the findings compare the way that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are taught and regarded in each country based on literature review and on personal experience in classrooms in each of these countries. In the United States, STEM education is currently undergoing major reforms; politicians, school board members, teachers, and parents are working to enrich the education this country offers its students. This paper asserts that having an international perspective on STEM education will more fully enhance the current reform movement in the U.S. The Chilean education system is undergoing similar scrutiny, with students demanding that their rights be met. Therefore, it will be informative to compare this movement to that of leaders in STEM education in the United States.
This report monitors actions taken by the 109th Congress for the House's Science, State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies (SSJC) and the Senate's Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) FY2006 appropriations legislation.
"Science is science and facts are facts. My administration will ensure that there will be total [scientific] transparency and accountability without political bias." That was the promise made in September 2016 by then-candidate Donald Trump when asked how he would protect federal scientists from political interference in their work. Since taking office, however, President Trump has led a concerted effort to undermine federal scientific research, particularly in areas where research findings contradict his own views or undermine the basis of his deregulatory agenda. That effort is documented in the Silencing Science Tracker, an online database that records anti-science actions taken by the federal government. Drawing on three-and-a-half years of tracker data, this Comment analyzes the Trump Administration's evolving war on science and shows how it is changing the way federal agencies perform, use, and communicate scientific research. We focus primarily on climate science, which has been the subject of particularly fierce attacks under President Trump, though he has also targeted other areas. His actions could have long-lasting consequences, damaging the role of science in regulation for years to come.
