The Objectives Of The Earth Science Curriculum Project: An Evaluation Of Their Achievement, Musa Y. Qutub, Keith M. Hussey Jan 1971

The Objectives Of The Earth Science Curriculum Project: An Evaluation Of Their Achievement, Musa Y. Qutub, Keith M. Hussey

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The textbook Investigating the Earth and its companion two-volume Teacher's Guide were conceived, written, and tested by a group of scientists and educators brought together for that specific purpose. A primary objective was to produce an earth science course that could replace the increasingly unsatisfactory and outdated general science program. The three main themes outlined for the program were behavioral, conceptual, and historical. Its major objective was to offer the ninth-grade students an interdisciplinary earth science course that would provide a view of our dynamic planet through the use of scientific concepts, such as space, time, energy, motion, and matter, …

Count Rumford: Designer Of Clothes, Peter H. Sweedy

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

When developing a concept in class, I think all teachers realize the importance of taking into account the attention span of their students. One report I read felt that most college students can maintain a good 30-minute attention span, whereas seventh grade students can only average a period of four to five minutes of concentration on a speaker.

Vertebrate Comparative Anatomy In Undergraduate Curricula 1969-70, Karl E. Goellner Jan 1971

Vertebrate Comparative Anatomy In Undergraduate Curricula 1969-70, Karl E. Goellner

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In 1966 I presented a short paper describing some impressions of the status of vertebrate comparative anatomy (and embryology) in European universities (Goellner, 1968). Discussions which followed seemed to suggest that the status of these courses in the United States may be changing, and that a survey might elicit information on this matter. A basic assumption was implied, namely, that comparative anatomy had, indeed, been a traditional course in college offerings, particularly for zoology majors and for pre-medical and pre-dental students. This paper presents results of a modest survey conducted during the winter of 1969-70.

Environmental Education In The Environment, Michael J. Naylon Jan 1971

Environmental Education In The Environment, Michael J. Naylon

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Man, the thinking animal, is an observer of events in the universe. He has conceded the obvious truth of his uniqueness on this planet and his religions charge him with its stewardship. However, the very quality which distinguishes him from other life forms has also proven to be his greatest weakness. Perception is a personal experience; its very nature mandates that it be point-centered in the universe. That point is the individual. Collective man is guilty of assuming that the universe "happens" around him. He has not effectively perceived that he is a happening in the universe. He has compounded …

The Comparative Effects Of Individualized And Group Instruction In Bscs Biology On The Ability Of Students To Think Critically, Harry F. Fulton Jan 1971

The Comparative Effects Of Individualized And Group Instruction In Bscs Biology On The Ability Of Students To Think Critically, Harry F. Fulton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Research in the area of critical thinking ability many times involves the use of the Watson and Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA). These abilities involve inference or drawing conclusions from facts or premises, recognition of assumptions or hypotheses, deduction or working from basic premises to conclusions, interpretation of data to derive or explain its meaning, and the evaluation of arguments or evidence. The items on this instrument are not specifically limited to science. As a result, when researching the effect of an instructional procedure in science, the teachers and all other subjects the students are exposed to need to be …
