Culture analytical perspective

Incorporating discussions of the social dimensions of science into science courses broadens students understanding of current theory, tools, analytical techniques, and how different disciplines investigate and interpret the natural world. Exposure to science-and-technology studies would give non-scientists the perspective they need to participate in such debates. Instead of indoctrinating more students into the current scientihc culture, scientists should work with social scientists and scholars of education to make science more welcoming to those who were formerly excluded from STEM holds. 

In Smits perspective, Walter G. Vincenti, American engineer and historian of engineering, steps forward as a monster adapter. In his What Engineers Know and How They Know It Analytical Studies from Aeronautical History (1990), Vincenti tries to cope in a rational and analytical way with the uncertainties, values, interests, and beliefs of the social and cultural context. 

When mentioning the content and research method of context, Andrew Jamision (2009) indicated that the context of engineering includes economic, social, and cultural contexts, and Sylvain Lavelle (2009) pointed out that context may be studied from analytic, phenomenological, and pragmatic perspectives. The Hawthorne experiments do not mean that only humanity or morale is important while context is unimportant for practitioner s activities. From the contextualist point of view, the Hawthorne experiments have two important theoretical implications ...
