TL;DR: The role of values as related to pure and applied sciences will be discussed and an attempt will be made to relate the process of science to values in an educational context.
Abstract: SCIENCE AS AN EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY or a rational intellectual process is perhaps independent of culture and may be constant through time However, the role of science in society is related to cultural changes Various rapidly evolving disciplines and technologies associated with the respective disciplines are in response to societal problems and issues (see Ost 1974) Ecology, astrophysics, and polymer chemistry are components of science which have come into their own as a result of the interrelatedness of science and society No longer can science be simply considered as those endeavors which are objective and free of values The importance of ethical systems in technological societies is becoming increasingly more evident Glen T Seaborg (1966) considers the issue when he suggests that man's system of ethics and his systems of science and technology " have come face to face, where he can scarcely treat fact and value separately, and where he may see principles as diverse as the Second Law of Dynamics and the Golden Rule being considered side by side in the making of decisions which determine his future" Science does not exist in a vacuum The norms of conduct for using an intellectual tool such as science should evolve as the norms of conduct for societal members evolve Norms for the conduct for science must be modified in a manner consistent with the needs of the people and purposes of the culture There is some indication of this occurring as evidenced by the 1975 Asilomar Conference of scientists and nonscientists Although the issues are not clearly focused, the mechanics not well developed, at least the conduct of science is beginning to be monitored by the scientific community itself In the sections that follow, the role of values as related to pure and applied sciences will be discussed In addition, an attempt will be made to relate the process of science to values in an educational context
TL;DR: Vera Rich as mentioned in this paper looked at the recently published Five Year Plan of the Soviet Union and found that the prominence usually accorded to science and technology was again apparent. But this was not the case in the early 1970s.
