The problems and practices of science education in the community college are discussed in this paper. First, the community college's contribution to and position in American higher education is examined, especially with respect to enrollment and curricular trends. Next, the results of a national study of community college science education and a…

Findings are summaried related to restricting minority participation in the sciences and science-related professions. Four factors found most pervasive and important were: (1) lack of role models; (2) counseling; (3) attitude; and (4) preparation. Effects of both teacher attitude and student attitude were reviewed within the attitude area. The…

A wide variety of environmental careers, their educational requirements, places of employment, growth and future potential are examined. A discussion of the new environmental era characterized by a joining of environmental education, science, and management in an interdisciplinary, integrated, and involved approach to environmental concerns forms…

The nine Reactor Statics Modules are designed to introduce students to the use of numerical methods and digital computers for calculation of neutron flux distributions in space and energy which are needed to calculate criticality, power distribution, and fuel burn-up for both slow neutron and fast neutron fission reactors. The diffusion…

The 29th in a series that covers Federal research and development (R&D) funding as it evolves from one budget cycle to the next, this report discusses agency R&D funding levels for fiscal year 1981. This analysis reports relative changes in broad R&D and basic research categories, 1981 compared with 1980, and also some agency changes…

This pamphlet is the seventh in a series of nine discussing the Apollo-Soyuz mission and experiments. This set is designed as a curriculum supplement for secondary and college teachers, supervisors, curriculum specialists, textbook writers, and the general public. These booklets provide sources of ideas, examples of the scientific method,…

The paucity of material dealing with academic programs for the health professions in two-year colleges is reflected in this review of studies and reports which show great variety in their primary focus and in the disciplines involved. Cited in this literature review are: syllabi for courses in anatomy, physiology, and chemistry; a report on…

Discussed are the effects that cognitive level of teachers' questions and questioning strategies may have on student achievement. Thirty-two preservice elementary teachers were stratified by the grade they were teaching, either primary (grades 1-3) or intermediate (4-5), and randomly assigned to treatments. Treatment levels consisted of…

Reported is a study that explores the effect on student achievement of diagnostic-prescriptive instructional strategies on preservice elementary education majors (N=43) enrolled in an introductory biology course. Factors of pre-treatment achievement and locus of control were analyzed as well. Units on Mendelian genetics, modern genetics, and…

FREE AND INEXPENSIVE MATERIALS FOR USE IN CONSERVATION EDUCATION WERE EVALUATED. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT WERE TO DETERMINE (1) THE KINDS OF FREE AND INEXPENSIVE CONSERVATION MATERIALS WHICH MAY BE NEEDED, (2) THE KINDS THAT ARE BEING PRODUCED, (3) THE QUANTITY PRODUCED, AND (4) THE AGGREGATE EXPENDITURES FOR PRODUCTION. EFFORTS WERE MADE TO…
