Perspectives on Transportation. Teacher's Guide. Preparing for Tomorrow's World.
Iozzi, Louis A.; And Others
"Perspectives on Transportation" is one of the "Preparing for Tomorrow's World" (PTW) program modules. PTW is an interdisciplinary, future-oriented program which incorporates information from the sciences and social sciences and addresses societal concerns which interface science/technology/society. The program promotes responsible citizenry with increased abilities in critical thinking, problem-solving, social/ethical reasoning, and decision-making. This module examines land, sea, and air transportation and also briefly considers future prospects. Provided in the teaching guide are discussions of the socio-scientific reasoning model (theoretical basis of PTW), purpose of the module, strategies employed (focusing on the dilemma/debate discussion technique), module structure and objectives, and its use in the school curriculum. Also provided are a suggested teaching schedule, guidelines for conducting dilemma discussions (including basic steps in the process), a chart indicating moral issues (as defined by Kohlberg) contained in the dilemmas presented in the student material, suggested teaching strategies for the filmstrip used to introduce the module and for activities related to each form of transportation, bibliography, and appendices containing teacher background information. The module may be used as a separate unit of study, as a mini-course, or incorporated into such subject areas as social science, language arts, or science. (JN)
