One hundred twenty-eight faculty members responded to a test of their…

Recognition of the value of a scientifically literate citizenry has driven American science education reform since the 1950s. We have seen some improvement in the comprehension of science facts in the past 10-20 years, but far less improvement in Americans' understanding of the nature of science. College science courses are ideal venues for…

Refutes O'Connor's argument for replacing humanities education with an emphasis on science and mathematics (see "Two Concepts of Education," p. 137, this issue). Concludes that the humanities deserve as serious a place in popular education as the sciences; both emphases form society and its purposes. (Author/KC)

If science is emphasized as an example of human creativity, initial lack of student interest in science can be overcome. Numerous examples from history and art can be used in teaching science, an important step in reducing ignorance and apathy. (MSE)
