Preparing Our Students For The Future, Mary Janela Jan 1963

Preparing Our Students For The Future, Mary Janela

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Science education must advance with the times. Methods and ideas must change. We, as teachers, are being closely scrutinized. We can no longer sit back complacently. Since Sputnik, there has been grave concern over the ability of our students to apply knowledge to practical problems. Students are naturally curious so we must develop their inquiring minds and instill in them habits of sound reasoning, accurate judgment, and careful evaluation. To live in our democracy of the twentieth century the students must be trained to develop their powers of critical thinking.

High School Science Achievement As Related To Interest And I.Q. Among Graduates Of Thibodaux High School, Thibodaux, Louisiana, And Malcolm Price Laboratory School, Cedar Falls, Iowa, Louis E. Barrilleaux

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Numerous articles on the possible causes of an increasing shortage of scientific manpower have been published. Many of these articles have stressed the lack of sufficient guidance in directing capable students in high school toward an emphasis in science. It is pointed out that insufficient guidance alone, among high school students, is a major factor in the increasing shortage of scientific personnel. As a result, the schools have been under criticism.

Linear Programming In High School Mathematics, Vernon Earl Cotter

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

"Modern mathematics," a term associated with experimental and revised programs for the teaching of mathematics, should be interpreted only in part as meaning new subject matter. It is true that modern mathematics is associated with such subject matter as the theory of sets and the revision of the definitions of 'relation' and 'function.' But it also connotes a new spirit, a new method of approach, and a new organization of material and problems. Also it may retain much of the traditional subject matter. Of course the order of presentation may be changed and traditional subject matter bounds may be disregarded …
