Curriculum Reform in Science: Getting Started
Sewell, Audrey
Science Education Review, v2 n1 p2-10 2003
In spite of the almost universal call for curriculum reform in science education that began over a decade ago, research indicates that very little change is actually happening in a large majority of schools. Perhaps the reason is that teachers need to see a relatively fast, easy way to get started. This article considers some desirable elements of reform and the role that open-ended investigations might play.
