What is Science Teaching for?
Biggins, David R.; Henderson, Ian
Physics Education, v13 n7 p438-41 Nov 1978
Explains that understanding of science is vital to effective changes in science education. Discusses Thomas Kuhn's writings on the physical sciences and argues that Kuhn provides a better understanding of science education than do earlier models of science, although Kuhn's model fails to connect science with other social processes and interests.
