摘要

Skin cancer is increasing faster than any other form of cancer in the USA. There is a general lack of knowledge regarding the consequences of over-exposure to UV radiation. Thirty-percent of those living below latitude 37 degrees, will develop skin cancer during their lives. Peer pressure to be tan causes increasing numbers of young people to play solar roulette. This is just one of many topics that must be addressed in science programs. To set the stage for understanding the significance of this problem, the paper first discusses the current status of radiation education and nuclear energy education in the USA as well as specific radiation misconceptions held by both students and their teachers. The paper then describes; how cultural norms are increasing the risks, the science behind skin cancer, unavoidable and avoidable risk factors, and the factors that are increasing the incidence of skin cancer including the thinning of the ozone layer. The paper then reviews the current educational materials being developed and used to inform and influence our youth to the risks of sun exposure and the philosophy behind many of these endeavors. The paper concludes that the future is bright, if educational leaders recognize the opportunity to employ problem based learning experiences and address the National Science Education Standards by utilizing critical thinking skill development through such teaching approaches as the jurisprudential model and real world experiences. Radiation education is presented as a topic rich with personal and society issues and not just a scientific set of facts for our students to learn. The paper concludes with a case of tanning as a context for learning and a backdrop for teaching important educational concepts.
