A Survey of Unified Science and Enrollments.
Supinski, Richard; Szabo, Michael
Reported are the results of an eight-item questionnaire survey of 31 educators (high school teachers and others) representing a nationwide sample of individuals believed to be currently involved in a unified science program at the high school level (grades 9-12). This survey was designed to determine the relationship of unified science to traditional physics and the effect of unified science on high school enrollments in science. Additional information was sought concerning how long the unified science programs had been offered and the relationship of the number of physical concepts presented in traditional physics compared to unified science. Data from the 21 usable returns are included in this paper. Along with other findings and conclusions, the authors suggest that unified science offers a viable solution to declining enrollments in high school physics and that unified science may have extensive application to current trends in secondary school science, providing science for a greater percentage of high school students.
