Current evaluation Science as conversation can be done at all levels of the curriculum, and yields enhanced student and faculty engagement. It produces students better equipped to deal with science in broader social contexts, and makes significant contributions to an improved public understanding of science. Student uncertainties about course objectives, and shared student and faculty concern about content coverage and professional preparation can be addressed through incremental but persistence change across all educational levels. Problems requiring further work include development of new assessment methods specifically designed to measure achievement consistent with the objectives of science as conversation pedagogies.
