A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Science instruction in the first year of the high school has presented one of the most serious problems in secondaryschool work. First-year pupils usually do not possess a large fund of information about the common phenomena of nature, or they may not attempt a scientific interpretation of these phenomena. This lack in abundant, concrete, and rationalized experience has made it extremely difficult to secure the desired results from the first science course through presentation of any one of the differentiated sciences. Experiments have been under way in different parts of the United States for several years with the purpose of securing an organization of science materials and a method of presentation which shall prove more educative. It has been the object of these experiments to develop a more usable fund of knowledge about common things and a more scientific attitude in interpreting common problems, and to discover and to utilize interest and ability in such ways that more effective and more profitable work may thereafter be done in the differentiated sciences. These experiments have shown uniformity in their attempt to use the point of view of the relatively uninformed pupil, and while they have followed several lines of effort, in the main they have come to use a similar body of knowledge. The course presented in this book is the result of six years of experiment with a number of pupils, averaging about one hundred per year. During this time several persons have assisted in teaching the course and have made contributions to it.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Science instruction in the first year of the high school has presented one of the most serious problems in secondaryschool work. The results of modern science are extensively used in almost all kinds of human experience, and the scientists way of working is recognized as the most reliable method. It is also generally recognized that education by use of science should lead to better understanding and better use of the types of scientific knowledge which relate to common experience. It is therefore the object of this course to develop a usable fund of knowledge about common things and helpful and trustworthy habits of considering common experiences in the field of science. It is expected that pupils interests and abilities will be discovered and utilized in such ways that more effective and more profitable work may be done in the vocations or in later studies. The course presented in this book is the result of ten years of experiment in secondary schools. Teachers of subjects other than science, and administrative officers who are studying the efficiency of the whole high-school curriculum, have been constant observers and critics of the experiment. Teachers who have used the course have made many contributions to it. I ts present form and content are the outcome of the cooperative efforts of many science teachers who believe that the methods of experimental science must be used in organizing and testing science courses. Our point of view is expressed by Professor Charles
