Trust, Science Education and Vaccines

Abstract: The issue of trust in science has come to the fore in recent years. I focus on vaccines, first looking at what is known about trust in vaccines and then concentrating on whether what science education teaches about vaccines can be trusted. I present an argument to connect the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy to the issue of trust and then argue for what an education about vaccines in school science might look like that takes seriously the notion of respect for students, including students who hold views about v… Show more

“…Conversely, the lowest nutrition-health misinformation scores were found in respondents who more frequently relied on advice from their own medical doctors, nutrition scientists, PhDs and academics, and nutrition professionals for making dietary changes. This corresponds with other research that highlights that higher trust in medical and health professionals and scientists is associated with a lower susceptibility to COVID-19 misinformation [ 136 , 147 , 148 , 149 ].…”

“… We have talked about innovation in our work, and different ways of pursuing innovation. I think we all agree that NOS is a fruitful research area within science education, particularly with the recent rise of post-truth (McIntyre, 2018 ) and trust in science being challenged (Reiss, 2022 ). But in practice, NOS is a difficult topic to study, is it not?…”

“…This vision for transformation refers to the role of school education, along with other forms of education, as a catalyst for change. In the field of school education, there is no doubt that the environmental crisis and other existential threats (e.g., those from the nuclear industry, pandemics, and AI [19]) require changes in the way many people live, think, and act. Responding to this call-within the frame of reference of transformation theory-will require change in individual lives and through collective action that recognises unsustainability, strives for equitable societies, and creates sustainable conditions.…”
