将科学列入学校课程有两个原因。首先，它有助于帮助学生了解他们的环境，并发展应用科学方法解决问题的技能。第二，它为以后将从事科学和技术职业的学生提供基本培训。学校科学课程的这些方面反映了共同的国家发展战略，而这些战略又有两个方面。其中一个方面要求全体人民对科学和技术的目的和范围有很好的了解，以便公民能够作为知情的参与者参与国家发展进程。第二方面是国家需要有足够多的受过科学和技术培训的人员，以帮助国家在依赖技术能力的国家发展方面发挥作用。第二次国际科学研究（SISS）正在进行，以提供全世界科学教育的概况。它将提供数据和结果，为关于学校科学教育的性质和内容的辩论提供信息，这些教育将最适合学生及其所属社会的需要。SISS始于1981年，是在1970年国际能源机构六个主题调查的一部分中国际能源机构在这一领域的早期工作的基础上进行的。“早期的研究现在被称为第一次国际科学研究（菲斯）。SISS在26个教育系统中实施，这些系统涵盖了国家发展的各个层面：澳大利亚加拿大（英语）、加拿大（法语）、中国、英国、芬兰、加纳、香港、匈牙利、以色列、意大利、日本、韩国、墨西哥、荷兰、尼日利亚、挪威、巴布亚新几内亚、菲律宾、波兰、新加坡、瑞典、坦桑尼亚、泰国、美国和津巴布韦。本研究确定了三个目标人群。人口1基本上涉及10岁（5年级）的学生。第二类是14岁（9年级）的学生。第3类学生是中学最后一年的理科学生，通常是12年级。下文提供了关于这些人口的进一步资料。
Science is included in the school curriculum for two reasons. First, it has a role in helping students to understand their environment and to develop skills in the application of scientific methods to the solution of problems. Second, it provides basic training for those students who will subsequently follow careers in science and technology. These aspects of the school science curriculum reflect common national development strategies that in turn have two strands. One strand requires the population as a whole to have a good understanding of the purposes and scope of science and technology so that the citizens may share as well-informed participants in the process of national development. A second strand is the need for the country to have a sufficiently large group of persons trained in science and technology to help the country in those aspects of its national development that depend on technical competence. The Second International Science Study (SISS) is being undertaken to provide an overview of science education across the world. It will provide data and results to inform debate about the nature and content of school science education that will best suit the needs of the students and the societies to which they belong. The SISS, which started in 1981, is building on earlier IEA work in this area carried out as part of the IEA's Six-Subject Survey in 1970.' The earlier study is now referred to as the First International Science Study (FISS). The SISS is taking place in 26 educational systems that encompass a range of levels of national development: Australia, Canada (Englishspeaking), Canada (French-speaking), China, England, Finland, Ghana, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, Tanzania, Thailand, the United States, and Zimbabwe. Three target populations have been defined for the study. Population 1 basically involves students at the 10-year-old (year 5) level. Population 2 involves students at the 14-year-old (year 9) level. Population 3 involves science students at the final-year secondary level, usually year 12. Further information about these populations is given below.
