Editor's Corner, Carl W. Bollwinkel
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
My July mail contained a letter which began with a phrase heard and read all so often these days, "I'm writing to let you know that I will be moving to Texas . . ." It is with special regret that I received this message from Steve Ziser who was serving as our assistant editor for biology. We have appreciated Steve's contributions to ISTJ and regret his leaving, but do wish Steve and his wife well in their new academic adventures in Austin.

End-Stage Renal Disease (Esrd) And The Prospects For A Machine Free Life, Robert W. Hanson
End-Stage Renal Disease (Esrd) And The Prospects For A Machine Free Life, Robert W. Hanson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the term used by nephrologists describe cases of renal failure that have progressed to the point where continued viability depends on a substitution for kidney function. A generation ago ESRD was a terminal condition because there was no substitute for kidney function. Survival time depended on factors such as age -the presence of complicating diseases such as diabetes. Today, dialysis technologies are available that promise many additional years for ESRD patients. Kidney transplants have become fairly common but are preceded by some form of dialysis or followed by some form of dialysis in the event …

The Cancer Scholarship Program: An Iowan Tradition, George E. O'Brien, Edward L. Pizzini
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Many highly able and motivated students in science have interest in research. Student participation in the total science process, including data collection, recording, reporting, experimental interpretation, synthesis and even publication, can provide the ultimate means of activating science potential. A cooperative effort between the American Cancer Society (ACS) - Iowa Division and The University of Iowa has provided this type of experience, as a facet of the Research Participation Program. For the past 12 years, 100 students who have completed grade 10, 11, or 12, representing 50 Iowa communities, have received financial support from the ACS to participate in the …

The Attitudes Of The Public Toward Science And Science Education, Robert E. Yager
The Attitudes Of The Public Toward Science And Science Education, Robert E. Yager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
At the mid-point of the 1980's, science has once again risen in public esteem a point parallel to that which existed in the mid 1950's. David Yankelovich (1984) has recently presented data regarding changes in public attitudes toward science. This positive perception of science has continued to improve during the last fi years, as evidenced by follow-up studies at the University of Iowa.

Factors That Do Not Separate Effective And Ineffective Science Teachers, Robert E. Yager, Patrick Ibe
Factors That Do Not Separate Effective And Ineffective Science Teachers, Robert E. Yager, Patrick Ibe
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
With only two exceptions, no significant differences are found · the profiles of most effective and least effective teachers. Druva and Anderson (1983) recently reported the results of a meta analysis of significant research in science teacher education. Their findings suggest that most factors believed to impact the teaching performance of science instructors do not, in fact, play a very important role. Despite these findings, many science educators continue to accept the same old assumptions and beliefs concerning what is needed to improve science teacher education programs. As the National Science Foundation expands programs in response to new appropriations and …

Educational pendulums are forever "swinging." During the past several years and to the present, the "swinging" seems to have been and currently is in the direction of student needs - with energy focused on individualized instruction, self-pacing, mainstreaming, pull-out programs, talented and gifted opportunities, and learning disabilities awareness.
