Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy
Author: G. Bruce Doern
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773598995
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy presents new critical analysis about related developments in the field such as significantly changed concepts of peer review, merit review, the emergence of big data in the digital age, and the rise of an economy and society dominated by the internet and information. The authors scrutinize the different ways in which federal and provincial policies have impacted both levels of government, including how such policies impact on Canada’s natural resources. They also study key government departments and agencies involved with science, technology, and innovation to show how these organizations function increasingly in networks and partnerships, as Canada seeks to keep up and lead in a highly competitive global system. The book also looks at numerous realms of technology across Canada in universities, business, and government and various efforts to analyze biotechnology, genomics, and the Internet, as well as earlier technologies such as nuclear reactors, and satellite technology. The authors assess whether a science-and-technology-centred innovation economy and society has been established in Canada – one that achieves a balance between commercial and social objectives, including the delivery of public goods and supporting values related to redistribution, fairness, and community and citizen empowerment. Probing the nature of science advice across prime ministerial eras, including recent concerns over the Harper government’s claimed muzzling of scientists in an age of attack politics, Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy provides essential information for academics and practitioners in business and government in this crucial and complex field.

Science Education in Canada
Author: Christine D. Tippett
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030061914
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
This book offers a meso-level description of demographics, science education, and science teacher education. Representing all 13 Canadian jurisdictions, the book provides local insights that serve as the basis for exploring the Canadian system as a whole and function as a common starting point from which to identify causal relationships that may be associated with Canada’s successes. The book highlights commonalities, consistencies, and distinctions across the provinces and territories in a thematic analysis of the 13 jurisdiction-specific chapters. Although the analysis indicates a network of policy and practice issues warranting further consideration, the diverse nature of Canadian science education makes simple identification of causal relationships elusive. Canada has a reputation for strong science achievement. However, there is currently limited literature on science education in Canada at the general level or in specific areas such as Canadian science curriculum or science teacher education. This book fills that gap by presenting a thorough description of science education at the provincial/territorial level, as well as a more holistic description of pressing issues for Canadian science education.

Book Description
This report addresses three broad questions: how the government can best support the international activities of Canada's scientific research community in universities, academic research institutes, and government & private sector laboratories; how to best support the international science & technology (S&T) activities of Canadian industry; and the extent to which Canada's international S&T policies & support mechanisms are effectively linked with other government policies, such as those related to trade, investment, and international co-operation. Work conducted for the report included review of information contained in briefs & presentations, consultations with key stakeholders, review of policies & activities of other countries regarding international S&T, and regional workshops. After the introduction, section 2 discusses the link between S&T and economic growth. Section 3 presents the context of Canada's international S&T activities, with comparisons to other countries. Sections 4 to 6 review current Canadian international activities and issues to be addressed in the areas of science (including social science), technology, and government policies. The final section presents a vision of Canada as an important player in international S&T and makes recommendations to achieve that vision. Appendices include an inventory of Canada's federal participation & investment in international S&T and examples of sources of funding for international S&T projects.
