The role of the science teacher is essential in determining the quality of the school science program. When teachers are aware of the relationship between science and society, they can relate classroom learning to practical application. This results in more positive student attitudes. The continuous evolving of scientific knowledge requires teachers to keep up with the latest developments in order to provide current information and experiences for their students. This paper reports on a program that was developed to help teachers facilitate learning and transfer scientific knowledge, experiences, and attitudes to their students. The 23 participants involved in the program reported that the program had increased their: (1) knowledge about research and application of science and mathematics outside the classroom; (2) awareness of the relationship of subject matter to industry and careers; and (3) interest in research and applied science. Included is an introduction, a description of the program, instrumentation and method, analysis, results, discussion, and references. Presented tables include program effects on participants and participants' confidence, results of tests comparing frequency of teaching activities before, and one year after, the program; and the impact on research and demonstration activities. Also listed are relevant items from the posttest and follow-up evaluation. (RT)
