Fully half of the curriculum of Roskilde University, Denmark(RUC), is student-driven group research project work, often interdisciplinary. I shall describe the practice of group project work in the sciences at RUC, and evaluate implications for educational practice in the U.S. 相似文献

We present the results of a study designed to measure the level of science anxiety in students enrolled in physics courses at Loyola University Chicago. We undertook this study with two objectives: (1) to determine the factors contributing to science anxiety; in particular, to ascertain whether the leading factors identified in an earlier study have remained constant over time, and (2) to investigate whether science anxiety was affected by a semester of introductory physics. This is the first study of its kind, analyzing science anxiety in pre- and posttests of a cohort composed entirely of students taking physics courses. We find that the leading factors contributing to science anxiety are nonscience anxiety, gender, and to a much lesser degree, course of study (major), in agreement with earlier results. In general, males start and end the course with somewhat less science anxiety (and nonscience anxiety) than females. Post-course responses indicated some improvement in nonscience anxiety and in science anxiety for both genders. Acute levels of science anxiety were somewhat decreased by exposure to a physics course. Different pedagogies and gender role models may correlate with anxiety reduction. 相似文献

Students’ attitudes and anxieties about science were measured by responses to two self-report questionnaires. The cohorts were Danish and American students at the upper secondary- and university-levels. Relationships between and among science attitudes, science anxiety, gender, and nationality were examined. Particular attention was paid to constructivist attitudes about science. These fell into at least three broad conceptual categories: Negativity of Science Toward the Individual, Subjective Construction of Knowledge, and Inherent Bias Against Women. Multigroup confirmatory factor analyses revealed that these dimensions of constructivist attitudes were equally applicable and had the same meaning in both cultures. Gender differences in mean levels of constructivist attitudes were found; these varied across the two cultures. Constructivist beliefs were associated with science anxiety, but in different ways for females and males, and for Danes and Americans. In agreement with earlier studies, females in both the US and Danish cohorts were significantly more science anxious than males, and the gender differences for the Americans were larger than those for the Danes. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for reducing science anxiety by changing constructivist beliefs. 相似文献

An investigation was carried out to ascertain whether science anxiety as measured by a self-reporting instrument was related to gender for groups of American and Danish students aged 17 and up. In both national groups, females scored significantly higher on a variety of science anxiety measures than did males. Science anxiety proved to be also related to general anxiety and to field of study, but not significantly to national group, albeit the Danish group as a whole registered womewhat lower than the American group, and in particular, Danish fermales registered lower than American males. 相似文献

We conducted interviews with eleven groups of Danish and American students. The interview topics included gender and national
components of science education, science anxiety, and attitudes toward science. The groups were science and nonscience students
at the upper secondary and university levels, and one group of American science teachers who were students in a science enrichment
program. The interviews revealed a variety of relationships between and among science attitudes, science anxiety, nationality,
gender, and course of study. We also probed student attitudes toward constructivist versus traditional views of science. 相似文献
