| Abstract: | In today’s world, scientific literacy has become essential to full participation of citizens. Certainly, important components
of scientific literacy include resource use and environmental quality. The 2006 Program for International Student Assessment
(PISA) centered on scientific literacy and included resources and environments as two contexts for the test and student questionnaire.
The article first introduces PISA 2006, and then provides a general overview of results. Using two released units from PISA
2006, I then turn to results and a discussion of students’ science competencies and attitudes relative to environmental and
resources issues. The article concludes with a discussion of educational policies for science education programs and teaching
practices. |
