Current Practices in Science/Society/Technology/Environment Education: A Survey of the State Education Agencies.
Disinger, John F., Comp.
A project of the ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education (ERIC/SMEAC) has focused on the synthesis of information dealing with its specific areas of concern. Recent developments in the science and social studies educational communities have led to an increasing emphasis on the educational implications of the interactions among science, technology, and society, with particular emphasis in their interdisciplinary character. This report identifies some of the overlap between these concerns and those of the environmental education community. It is a result of a national survey carried out by ERIC/SMEAC in 1986 designed to identify and characterize the overlaps of science, technology, society, and environment within the elementary and secondary school programs at both the state and local levels. Included in this volume are the responses to a questionnaire addressing this topic which was sent to representatives of all state agencies, along with an overall summary which attempts to provide a national synthesis. The individual responses from 40 states and the District of Columbia are included, as well as copies of the survey form and cover letter. (TW)
