Brunkhorst, Herbert K.; Yager, Robert E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
Offers a rationale for science education that utilizes a science-technology-society (STS) framework. The recommended STS framework can give meaning to efforts to define a K-12 science curriculum, to describe appropriate teaching behaviors and desirable student actions, and to formulate meaningful research questions.

Hand, Brian; Treagust, David F. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
Discussed is an approach to learning in which students are given the opportunity to discuss and rationalize the conflict between the students' existing misconceptions and the phenomenon to be studied. Curriculum materials for a unit on acids and bases were developed using this strategy. (KR)

Onnuam, Duangduen; Underhill, Robert G. – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
The need for developing a geometry curriculum sequence is discussed. Work by a group of about 50 mathematics educators on intuitive aspects of Euclidean classifications and relations is presented. Textbooks were analyzed, a sequence of concept clusters developed, and a scope-and-sequence chart included. (MNS)

Glass, Lynn W. – School Science and Mathematics, 1984
In a survey conducted in Iowa, 136 teachers responded to a 52-item questionnaire to evaluate energy education workshops they attended, identify beliefs and practices concerning energy education, and identify perceived knowledge needed in energy education. Materials to create more student involvement in lessons was the top-rated need. (MNS)

Blosser, Patricia E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
Studies on science course improvement projects are synthesized, with reactions from several professional organizations. Other reports from the mid-1980s are noted. A brief summary of research findings is provided, with a longer discussion on the impetus for change, the conditions needed for change, and who decides. (MNS)

Lawrenz, Frances – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
Describes changes in teacher attitudes after completion of an inservice energy education workshop. Although there was a decrease in favorable attitudes towards curricular change, there was a modest, positive effect on participants (N=132) which should help to promote energy education. (DH)

Cohen, Herbert; Staley, Frederick – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
The view presented is that many elementary teachers do not understand the nature of science, how the skills are useful in everyday life, and of how science content is involved in many human endeavors. Integrating science with other disciplines is thought to have potential for improving the quality and quantity of science instruction. (MP)

Pratscher, Sandra K.; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
It is felt a clearly defined and carefully planned curriculum must be used to avoid wasting the talents of the gifted youngster. Four curriculum models are presented. These are the: (1) Acceleration Model; (2) Breadth/Depth Model; (3) Topics Model, and (4) Enrichment Model. Examples of applications of each are noted. (MP)
