The Breakfast Food Challenge: Helping To Meet Personal Needs In The Science Classroom, Harold R. Hungerford, Kevin C. Wise
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
One of the four Project Synthesis goal clusters for science education focuses on meeting the personal needs of students who are maturing in a scientific/technological society. Many existing science programs fall short in this regard, particularly if teachers are seriously interested in changing learner behavior for the better. One component of learner behavior that is highly consistent with the personal needs goal cluster of Project Synthesis is helping students become more intelligent consumers in a scientific society.
