Conclusions As the pilot project has only been in operation for one semester there are no profound statements that can be made. What we
have at present is the base information for comparison of all data over the duration of the project. Cross tabulation of the
data to date has begun. However it should be re-iterated here that there appears to be a lack of understanding by the parents'
as to the reason for the all-girls classes at the school and that this situation may be due to the fact that in this school
community we have the typical sex-stereotyping roles and attitudes existing. The big question is, Will this intervention strategy
of single-sex science classes be effective in altering the girls views about what is appropriate for them to study or follow
as a career? 相似文献

The Science, Technology and Society movement is a movement within higher and school education that seeks to bring the science education of students at these respective levels more closely to their needs as members of increasingly technological societies. As far as school science education is concerned, two parallel developments have been occurring since the mid 1970s. The first is an evolving conception of the ways in which these interactions between Science, Technology and Society may be dealt with in science education. The other is the development of text and other curriculum materials that provide assistance for teachers wishing to teach science with these emphases. This paper outlines these two developments and brings them together by using an epistemological typology from the first to classify the varieties of curriculum materials now available. 相似文献

For almost a half century David F. Treagust has been an exemplary science educator who has contributed through his dedication and commitments to students, curriculum development and collaboration with teachers, and cutting edge research in science education that has impacted the field globally, nationally and locally. A hallmark of his outstanding career is his collaborative style that inspires others to produce their best work. 相似文献

Comparative studies of science education can emphasise either student learning of school science in a competitive sense or
the variety of science learnings that contemporary curricula for science expect. The Third International Maths and Science
Study (TIMSS) is endeavouring to achieve a balance between these two different and psychometrically conflicting possibilities.
The impact of STS on a number of countries' science curricula in the last few years is used to explore these tensions in the
planning of TIMSS. 相似文献

Quality Learning of Physics: Conceptions Held by High School and University Teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This paper reports an exploration of the conceptions of quality learning held by two samples of physics teachers – final year, high school physics teachers and academics teaching first year university physics. We begin by outlining our view of quality learning, that is a view of learning in which learners take control of their own learning and engage with active construction and reconstruction of their own meanings for concepts and phenomena. This view of quality learning recognises the crucial role of the affective dimension of learning on the extent to which students engage with and maintain such constructivist and metacognitive approaches to learning. The study explored the qualitatively different ways in which individuals conceptualise quality learning in physics, using semi structured interviews that explored aspects of learning that the respondents regarded as worth fostering in their classrooms. The interview approach was a modification of the Interview-About-Instances approach that allowed the possibility of interviewees suggesting instances of particular relevance to their view of quality learning. This process resulted in a considerable quantity of rich and complex data related to a large range of aspects of physics learning. These data are summarised here, and the qualitatively different conceptions of the respondents with respect to four significant aspects of physics learning are discussed. These aspects are: doing experimental work; linking physics to the real world; students taking responsibility for their own learning and being confident/feeling proud of what you can do. 相似文献

Recent years have seen a substantial growth in research that probes children's ideas about natural phenomena. This article places the research in a context that enables comprehension of how it informs and influences the practice of science education. To this end, past, present, and developing styles of research are discussed. The predominant style of past research was based on elaborate experimental designs and complex statistical analyses of data. Studies employing that style helped focus concern on questions about individual learning which the studies did not actually seek to answer, e.g., why does the learning resulting from a particular treatment vary between individuals? What is understanding and how can it be assessed? Such questions lie at the heart of current probing of children's ideas. Some issues of importance in the probing of children's ideas are considered, as are ways in which these issues have influenced the development of a current style of research. From this present context, developing styles in the research field are described. These focus particularly on research on the strategies used by learners, and on the continued growth of interaction between research and practice. 相似文献

One set of measures of the quality of courses for the preparation of science teachers stems from the perceptions exit students
have of their knowledge with respect to that teaching. The Discipline Review of Teacher Education in Mathematics and Science
surveyed these students late in 1988 on three broad types of knowledge-science content knowledge, curriculum knowledge, and
pedagogical knowledge. Some of these findings of the Review are described. In addition, the base for developing items to measure
these three types of knowledge is discussed in this paper. The variety in the data that emerged is also presented and the
consistency of the findings with other measures of quality is described.

Intuition was one of the four key themes for science education that emerged from the Woods Hole Conference in 1957. Despite
the considerable influence of this conference on a generation of curriculum projects the intuition theme was almost completely
ignored. Recent studies of intuition, including an analysis of Nobel laureates' views of scientific intuition, are considered.
This enables several conceptions of the nature and role of intuition in science to be defined, and its importance to be assessed.
The assumption that it is also important in science education is examined by considering conditions in science teaching and
learning that may encourage intuitive thinking in the light of current research developments that could lead to a new agenda
for school science.
