Provocative Opinion: Fads in Science Teaching
Parry, R. W.
Journal of Chemical Education, 52, 11, 706-707, Nov 75
Criticizes the post-Sputnik wave of multi-disciplinary science curricula aimed at teaching the students about social problems and how science can help solve these problems. Suggests that science teaching should concentrate more on the basics of a given discipline and should be taught be specialists rather than generalists. (MLH)
