Reports on selected opinions of secondary science methods instructors and their students concerning the new science courses and inquiry teaching, based on the Research on Science Education Survey conducted with 37 colleges and universities from October 1967 to March 1968. (PR)

Seniors in eleven eastern U.S. urban, suburban, and rural secondary schools were surveyed regarding occupational choice, especially engineering, in relation to attitudes about science and non-science courses. Researcher concludes science courses seem to discourage more than they attract career choice. (JM)

Defines the author's concept of "the world we want" and emphasizes the need to develop a "science of humanity" directed toward the solution of major human problems. The role of science educators in this endeavor is discussed. (LC)

Discusses aims and objectives of the "Modular Courses in Technology" project. Project aims include developing intellectual ability in a technological context and practical technological skills. Modules, module format, different approaches in forming examination syllabi, and other areas are considered. (JN)

Describes the nature of three types of science experiments, focusing on those designed to answer the questions: "What happens?"; "How can it be done?"; and "Which theory?". Indicates that all three have had a definite place in the school science curriculum. (JN)

Provides ideas and suggestions for helping students increase their problem-solving skills, including a four-step general problem-solving approach. Specific examples (considering qualitative problems and problem sequence) and comments on testing/grading are also provided. (JN)

Describes a course designed to familiarize students with alternative sources of energy, with emphasis on problem-solving strategies. Includes list of major topics/subtopics addressed and list of textbooks and recommended readings on alternative energy sources. (JN)

This article outlines a school-business partnership in which a business cooperates with a local school and provides an engineering employee to teach advanced mathematics and computer science. In exchange, the school district provides services and resources to the company. An example of the contract used is included. (MD)

Understanding the complex stratigraphic/structural relations produced during accretionary events is best achieved through "terrane analysis," wherein individual structural domains are discriminated and their geologic histories compared and analyzed for critical, paleogeographical significant information. Terrane analysis methodology,…

A panel of pharmacy faculty ranked a broad inventory of basic pharmaceutical science topics in terms of their applicability to clinical pharmacy practice. The panel concluded that basic pharmaceutical sciences are essentially applications of foundation areas in biological, physical, and social sciences. (Author/MLW)
