Integrating Science and CTS: A Revolutionary Step towards Learning That Makes Sense

A lasting issue in our educational system is the segregation of disciplines. The existing structure used to work well in the past, but with the anticipated change in the world of work, the advancement of technology, and the reshaping of future careers, this structure is no longer effective; learned skills are not transferring into real-life situations. In this paper, I will focus on the cross-curricular integration of Science and CTS - Environmental Stewardship, and look through the lenses of posthumanism and decolonization to shed the light on the hidden aspects of curriculum that are standing in the way of attaining scientific and environmental literacy. In a time when the careers of the future are becoming unclear, students must be prepared for critical thinking, innovation and problem solving, which changes the face of career training and makes integration of disciplines more important than ever.
