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.

Concerns Of The Articulation Committee, R. J. Vanden Branden, Robert Franke

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Communications between the various educational institutions in Iowa is and should be the primary need which is satisfied by Articulation Committee activity. A panel, composed of Paul Tweeton of the State Department of Public Instruction, Robert Franke, and Tom Hendricksen representing two-year and four-year colleges, respectively, presented various views related to better communications and other concerns of articulation. The panel discussion was designed to provide an opportunity for dissemination of information by the panel and reception of ideas and suggestions from the audience.

Science For Students Today And Tomorrow, Robert E. Yager

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Teaching science as a body of peculiar knowledge which exists for students to learn is still a common approach in American secondary schools. This is true today even with the so-called "new" science programs and their added impetus to the idea of teaching and emphasizing the processes of science in addition to the traditional content of a given discipline. The last ten years have seen great advances. However, much more is needed before we can talk of science in in our schools that is relevant for students both presently and in the future. We have too often accepted new ideas …

Conservation And The Biology Teacher, M. E. Stempel

The Imbalance Of Nature, Chalmer J. Roy

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

On this fantastically dynamic planet, what can be the meaning of the balance of nature? The dynamics of the atmosphere, of the oceans, and of the solid earth show no signs of reaching an equilibrium, a condition of no change. Nature does not obey laws. The so-called laws of nature are human constructs, designed to explain observed relationships and phenomena.

Developing Physics Concepts Through The Process Of Variation, Walter J. Gohman

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The present trend in the design of physics courses is to place emphasis on understanding rather than the rote memory of ideas and processes. The development of systematic approaches to direct thought patterns decreases the memory burden. The process of variation provides a universal thought pattern that can be applied in almost all phases of physics. This paper provides a brief description of some selected sample applications. It is hoped that these will illustrate the scope and the merit of this approach.
