•Science literacy aims to produce marginal insiders: people who have had a glimpse of science content and process but no sense of how to connect it with their everyday lives.

•We should help people to become competent outsiders: people who recognize when science is relevant to their lives and can interact with sources of scientific expertise to help them achieve their goals.

• Feinstein, 2011

• Learning is a process that takes place across time and settings. - Bransford et al., 2006.

• Values, beliefs, interests, and understandings are a resource for learning: profoundly shaping how one approaches and engages learning opportunities. - Banks

et al., 2006.

• Values, beliefs, interests, and understandings are developed in many places. They also fluctuate and may evolve into sustained “lines of practice.” - Azevedo,

2011.
