Welcome to the website of the International History, Philosophy and Science Teaching Group. This organisation promotes research informed by the history, philosophy, and sociology of science and education for the improvement of better teaching, learning, and curricula in science.

The Group has been historically associated with the journal Science & Education, but has no formal legal, financial or business connection. (See Journal for a precise statement of our current relationship.) Personal subscriptions are available by completing the journal subscription form.

All the sections are navigable from the links on the right. For any general enquiries, the answers to which are not easily discovered on this site, please email us and we will happily help.
