The Essentials Of Education Jan 1980

The Essentials Of Education

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Public concern about basic knowledge and the basic skills in education is valid. Society should continually seek out, define and provide every person with those elements of education that are essential to a productive and a meaningful life. The basic elements of knowledge and skill can be called the essentials of education. In an era dominated by cries for going back to the basics, for minimal competencies and survival skills, educators should reject simplistic solutions and declare a commitment to the essentials of education.

Factors Related To Black Students Not Selecting Science As A Major, Denise Darcell Duncan Jan 1980

Factors Related To Black Students Not Selecting Science As A Major, Denise Darcell Duncan

Graduate Research Papers

Science is a field of study in which the proportion of blacks is drastically lower than that of the entire population (Humphries, 1976). Various studies have been conducted to investigate the characteristics associated with persons in the sciences (Flakes, 1973). There have also been recent studies of blacks in the sciences and the characteristics associated with them (Tilford, 1974). However, this research has not yet revealed why black students do not major in the fields of physical and biological science.

Need For Greater Concern For Nutrition In Science Programs, Robert E. Yager Jan 1980

Need For Greater Concern For Nutrition In Science Programs, Robert E. Yager

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Effective teaching of basic nutrition is a major deficiency in the schools of our nation. Although nutrition is one of approximately a dozen central themes generally recognized as comprising biology, it is an area which tended to be de-emphasized during the 1960's and early 70's. Nutrition was usually too applied in nature to be a major focus within the NSF curricula which were organized around the conceptual themes which characterize and unify the various disciplines of science. One of the first changes in the development of the so-called "new courses" of the 1960's was the elimination of any applications of …

Ethics As A Science: Going From "Is" To "Ought", Warren Shibles Jan 1980

Ethics As A Science: Going From "Is" To "Ought", Warren Shibles

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Two beliefs which serve to prevent teaching, defining, or progress in ethics and morality are: 1. That we cannot derive an "ought" from an "is." We supposedly cannot derive value statements from factual statements. 2. That we cannot define ethical terms in terms of non-ethical terms (naturalistic fallacy). But can we derive an "ought" from an "is?" Does it ever make sense to do so? Let's take a case as it may arise. It is cold outside. I know that a chill may bring on a cold and I wish to avoid catching cold. I then conclude "I ought to …
