The Iowa Academy Of Science As A Directing Influence In Science Education, Robert W. Hanson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The last decade was marked by drastic changes in the studied approach to teaching science and most school subjects. A whole new vocabulary of science education terminology appeared-the process approach, conceptual schemes, Hanson integrated science, audio-tutorial techniques, the multi-media approach, computer-assisted instruction. These and many other phrases can be summed up in the one word innovation, and many educators of the more traditional bent feel a bit uneasy and perhaps defensive about the extent to which innovation is lacking in their teaching.

A False Sense Of "Discovery", Darrell G. Phillips

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Within the past few years the terms "discovery" and "inquiry" have come into vogue in educational circles. These terms, and those of similar connotation, are found in science curriculum programs, magazine and journal articles, and papers presented at professional meetings. It has also become apparent that certain textbook publishers are extremely sensitive to the "in" terms; one finds that such words have been carefully inserted into the introduction or preface of some outdated science textbooks.

How Much Does It Cost To Synthesize A Gene?

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

How much does it cost to synthesize a gene, and who pays for it? University of Wisconsin President Fred Harvey Harrington made an effort to tie down such costs in a report to UW Regents on Dr. Har Gobind Khorana's announcement of the first complete laboratory synthesis of a gene.

The Multi-Media Approach To Biology, Lena M. Keithahn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

"If at first you don't succeed, you are just about average." This flippant statement of a common experience has led to the multi-media approach in an attempt to make the learning of biology for the average sixteen year old who scores between 35 to 89 on the comprehensive test of the ITED more meaningful and successful.

A Survey Of Physics Textbooks Used In Iowa Secondary Schools (Preliminary Report), Jerry Schmidt

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

On December 5, 1969, 475 questionnaires were mailed to the public high school physics teachers of Iowa concerning the basic physics textbook(s) used in the classes they teach and the extent to which students are encouraged to answer the questions contained in the textbook(s). The questionnaire was a preliminary step of a doctoral dissertation which the author is presently working on at the University of Arkansas.
