Abstract
When the Certificate of Education Courses (CE) in the HKIEd were developed in 1994, there was a general consensus among the science lecturers that the new science programme should include some modules with Science, Technology and Society (STS) elements. It was felt that teacher trainees could acquire a better understanding of the advances of science and technology as well as their impacts on society through discussion of everyday life problems and social issues. Three modules with STS elements are developed for the Science Programme for the teacher-trainees of the HKIEd, namely Science, Technology and Society, Science and Everyday Life I & 11. The students' view of the programme content and teaching strategies are clearly understood after an analysis of the results of a module evaluation conducted through self-designed questionnaires and interviews with lecturers and students. This paper has provided some very useful insight for further review and improvement of these STS modules. Copyright
