Secondary Science Training Program Enrichment For High School Students, Edward L. Pizzini
Secondary Science Training Program Enrichment For High School Students, Edward L. Pizzini
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
We live in an environment where the success of many educational programs are directly proportional to the amount of external funds appropriated. When federal funding for a program dries up, unfortunately, the program may come to an end. This end is in sight for many of the Secondary Science Training Programs sponsored by the National Science Foundation throughout the nation. However, at the University of Iowa, the SSTP programs are i n t he process of expanding beyond a firm foundation.

Some Reasons For Not Working Toward A Humanistic System
Some Reasons For Not Working Toward A Humanistic System
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
There is only one acceptable excuse for not changing: If you really are comfortable with what you are doing and if your students tell you they are really comfortable, then don't change. Ask your students and see how they feel. If you say you'd like to change but can't for any of the reasons above, you're copping out!

Project Assist: A Plan Of Action, Daniel S. Sheldon
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A plan of action to improve mathematics, social science, and science education has emerged as a result of over two years of meetings and planning conferences with school personnel representing all academic levels of education in Iowa. In addition, a seven-week Leadership Development Conference (LDC) was held this summer at The University of Iowa involving the regional coordinators and many of their "team" chairmen representing one of the various emphases of Project ASSIST, i.e., in-service and pre-service programs, community involvement, assessment, and student programs. Seventeen coordinators and over thirty program chairmen participated in the LDC.

Teaching For Affective Learning, Gary E. Downs
Teaching For Affective Learning, Gary E. Downs
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
During the last ten years, many innovations have been aimed at reconstructing science education from kindergarten through high school. These efforts have produced more up- to-date information which was supposed to reflect more nearly the scientific enterprise as it is today. Gallagher (1971) contends that the course-content improvement projects have failed to show this, and they have failed to show that science is a significant cultural force.

One of the current fads spreading through the schools of Iowa is the attention being given to mysticism. The science teacher can do a great deal to give the youth of our schools the proper attitude to deal with the technics of the occult. One of the sessions of the Science Teaching Section of the spring meeting of the Iowa Academy will be related to dealing with the problems of the occult.

A New Approach To The Training Of Chemistry / Physics Teachers, Kenneth E. Borst
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In 1950, during my first week as a junior high school science teacher, it became apparent to me that my training to become such a teacher was almost a complete waste of time. I have also observed that there has been very little effort on the part of colleges to change the situation.

New Istj Format, Robert E. Yeager
New Istj Format, Robert E. Yeager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The financial problems of the Iowa Academy of Science caused the Board of Directors to approve a budget for 1972-73 which decreased the support for the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal by nearly two-thirds. As a result of this austerity program it was necessary to alter the format, size and printing for Volume 9, No. 4 of the Journal. Several alternatives were considered before the ISTJ editorial board recommended a new format to the IAS Publication Committee. This issue represents the recommended and approved format which will characterize the next three issues of Volume 10 as well.

Given: The Chance, Claire Marie Patik
Given: The Chance, Claire Marie Patik
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
This paper presents some practical suggestions for motivating the "educationally uninvolved" student on the one hand, and challenging the intellectually gifted student on the other. Teacher-planned, but student-oriented and directed, three courses geared to the pace of the individual student, are described. The net result of two of these courses as approached the past two years, is a reason- able degree of success leading to a strong acceptance on the part of the author of the basic philosophy of "Schools Without Failure.“ The third is a new plan to be introduced in the author's school in the fall of 1971.

University Of Wisconsin News
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Scientists tend to be cold, unemotional people. They cannot appreciate the beauty of nature, and scientific truths once established never change--true or false? These are a few of the popular stereotypes a recent University of Wisconsin-Madison survey tested.
