Hard educational science fiction
Criteria
This section proposes a set of criteria for hard educational science fiction.
Age group specification and specification of required knowledge | |
Glossary of technical terms | |
Interactive experiments and simulations | (only possible in electronic publications or as add-ons on the web page or CD of the book) |
Scientific errors in the story are explained | |
Recommended exercises are present in the text and are interesting for the reader | |
Motivation to think further | e.g. a cliffhanger requires the solution of an exercise (only possible in electronic publications or as add-ons on the web page or CD of the book) |
Soft sciences are not ignored (social sciences, philosophy, ethics) | |
Mentoring and scientific discussions between characters are present in the story | |
Intercultural competence criteria apply | |
Realistic psychology is presented in the story with occasional discussion of psychological issues. |
It is recommend that evaluation based on this criteria catalogue should use a range of 0 to 3 points per criterion, resulting in a range from 0 to 30 points. 0 points would mean "not present at all"; 3 points would mean "very well done". A value of -1 can be assigned to state that the criterion is not met but that the opposite (if that is possible) appears to apply.
