Presents a headmaster's viewpoints and comments on the core syllabus for A-level physics which appeared in the May 1980 issue of "Physics Education," including the necessity for instructional materials, in-service teacher learning, and feasibility studies. (SK)

A university lecturer comments on the importance of adequate detail and individual interpretations of items in the core syllabus for A-level physics presented in the May 1980 issue of "Physics Education." Suggests that the syllabus fails in containing all essential elementary ideas necessary to master advanced concepts. (SK)

This course outline for industrial electronics, one of a series for teaching vocational industrial shop subjects in public schools, includes basic skills and technical information for the course. It should be supplemented with other complementary and necessary areas of related instruction. Fifteen major blocks, divided into 2 years of instruction,…

Listed are guidelines for the steps in the development of a flexible long-range senior science curriculum. The program is separated into biology, chemistry, and physics, and a course outline is given for each. These outlines are not committed to any one approach, but draw on the many curriculum improvement projects and other sources. The emphasis…
