Williams, W. F. – Physics Education, 1975
Reports on the efforts of a group of English Universities which formed the Science in Social Context (SISCON) project in an attempt to incorporate social considerations into science courses. Argues for the validity of such efforts by finding shortcomings with present science disciplines. (CP)

Gray, B. F. – Physics Education, 1975
Reviews the British Ordinary National Diploma (OND) course in technology, a two-year fulltime program leading to degree and subdegree courses in technology and science. The course was designed as an alternative to a two-year sixth form A-level course in mathematics and physics. (MLH)

Kelly, Deryk T. – Physics Education, 1975
Describes recently published Engineering Science Development Unit (ESDU) texts, intended to promote an applied science approach to sixth form teaching. Each text has two components: a main story in which an engineering problem or situation is considered, and a set of supporting material covering development of physical relationships. (MLH)

Ingram, D. J. E. – Physics Education, 1975
New physics programs in Great Britain include a program with emphasis on mathematics and other sciences, and a joint honors program combining physics with another discipline, such as philosophy, economics, or English. Future programs may include even broader programs, in areas such as energy science or resources utilization. (MLH)
