Written as a follow-up to the first sourcebook published in 1967, this document seeks to address emerging issues in successful science supervision which have become important since 1967. Among the issues addressed are: (1) an increasing emphasis on the evaluation of students and programs; (2) demands for accountability; (3) changing working…

This collection of materials supports the teaching of solar energy concepts in the context of secondary school science. Included in this collection are a basic teacher's guide to activities involved in the curriculum; a discussion of multi-disciplinary extensions of solar energy education by subject area; a section on hardware needed for the…

Presented is the final report of the University of the Philippines evaluation of the summer science institutes and the implementation of science courses in secondary schools as components of the Science Education Project of the Philippines (SEPP). This evaluation of the SEPP science curriculum improvement project sought to assess student learning…
