Planning for Science in the Curriculum. A Report and Discussion Document Prepared by a Working Party On Curriculum Models for Science 5-16 For the Education (Research) Committee of the Association. Occasional Papers.
Association for Science Education, Cambridge (England).
Designed to assist in the on-going process of curriculum development, this report offers science teachers ideas and strategies to help meet the current needs of their students and the demands of society. It is meant to serve as a source of practical suggestions that address the aims set out by Great Britain's Association for Science Education in the document, "Education Through Science." Contents include: (1) planning for change (reviewing perspectives on curriculum change); (2) framework for curriculum development (providing directives for setting and classifying objectives); (3) organizing the teaching of science (focusing on learning strategies, curriculum models, and timetable frameworks); (4) progression, continuity, and community (addressing needs for early experiences, interdisciplinary studies, and courses linked with the community); (5) whole curriculum perspective (advocating a holistic coordinated approach across the curriculum); and (6) perspectives on the need for change in the science curriculum. Bibliographic notes are included. (ML)
