A Study In Philosophy And Goals Of Science Education, Dale Bunsen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

An inquiry into the philosophical area of any human endeavor results in the framing of "why" questions. Why study science at all?, naturally becomes one of these questions which has great relevance to the field of science education. "How" and "what" questions generally use up most of the science educator's time and efforts. This is not an attempt to negate the importance of "how" and "what" questions (they are the stuff of science); rather, it is an attempt to determine what the case for science is in our educational process.

Open Letter To Science Teachers, Clifford G. Mccollum

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Our responsibilities as science educators have never been greater than they are today." I know personally that such a statement has been made regularly since the 1930s, and I suspect it was commonplace some before that. These responsibilities have had various emphases identified as the reason for their being. The emphases have included such applications as those made to industry, engineering, medicine, warfare, and space exploration.

Notes On Prairie Species In Iowa. Ii. Establishment By Sod And Seedling Transplants, Paul A. Christiansen, Roger Q. Landers

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Success in establishment of prairie species was measured using sod and seedling transplants. Sod transplants, 25 cm in diameter and 10-20 cm in depth, were successful for 42 species. Fourteen species present in sod transplants set in both annual weeds and Bromus inermis sod illustrated the effect of competition on vigor. After two years, in the weedy plot, all species were present, 11 had flowered and 5 had spread. In the Bromus plot, 9 species had died, 2 had flowered and none had spread. Seedling transplants of 48 of 52 prairie species were present after overwintering. One-quart plastic bags and …

Differences In Campus Attitudes, Academic Achievement And Socio-Economic Background Between Student Leaders, The Students For A Democratic Society And The Student Body At-Large At The University Of Northern Iowa, Oral M. Custer Jr.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to identify similarities and differences between three groups of students, the Student Senate, the Youth for a Better Society (Students for a Democratic Society when the study was initiated), and a sample of students representative of the student body at-large at the University of Northern Iowa. These groups were objectively and subjectively evaluated to identify any similarities and differences in (1) their attitudes toward the University, (2) their academic achievement and aptitude, and (3) their socio-economic background. Objective measures of these variables included the College and University Environment Scales (CUES), cumulative grade point averages, …

An Analysis Of The Attitudes Of College Students Concerning The War In Vietnam, Lyle K. Henry, Charles Moore, Nancy Moore, Sheryl Kessler, Mildred Stone

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Attitudes of a sampling of students at Morningside College was compared with results from a poll conducted by church magazines. A locally developed Hawk-Dove scale was designed and administered to the college sample and the results compared with certain personal and personality attributes. It was found that college seniors were much more critical of the war than college freshmen. The former were similar to attitudes of clergy while the latter were more similar to the attitudes of laymen. However, aggression scores on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) were almost identical for freshmen and seniors. For dominance on the EPPS, …

The Status Of Science Teaching Facilities In Iowa Museums, Dean F. Straffin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Only a very few of Iowa's museums offer valuable resources for science teaching. Of the museums recognized in this survey as having a high degree of value in terms of science education, the scope of their potential use as teaching aids is limited to the "natural sciences" embracing such subjects as geology, astronomy, biology, zoology and the field of anthropology. No Iowa museum reviewed in this survey seems to be of any notable value in the teaching of the "hard" sciences such as chemistry or physics, i.e., there are virtually no permanent or semi-permanent "science and industry" type exhibits in …
