O knihe

Malaysia is facing a worrying decline in science literacy. According to international benchmark assessments, the level of science proficiency of 14 to 16 year olds in Malaysia is well below the international average and on a downward trend. Malaysian students are also shying away from the science stream because they do not see science as something enjoyable or fun, that they would like to pursue for higher education. Current Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in Malaysia are in the form of corporate philanthropy and charitable giving. There must be an effort and initiative by government agencies and corporations to invest in quality aerospace educational programmes, such as rocketry workshops to promote science education. This book will explore the effectiveness of conducting rocketry workshops in Malaysia by creating awareness and inspiring youth to excel in the field of aerospace science. The analysis will be helpful to individuals or organisations that are interested to learn and understand more about CSR practices in developing countries and how science education can be used as the vehicle to transform a nation to shift into the field of science and technology.
