Kromhout, Robert; Good, Ron – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
Avi Hofstein and Robert E. Yager recently published "Societal Issues as Organizers for Science Education in the 80's" (EJ 273 207). Objections to their thesis are discussed indicating, among others, that their suggestions would be counterproductive to their stated goals and open to dangerous manipulation by anti-scientific factions and social…

Yager, Robert E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
Offers a defense of societal issues as organizers for school science programs in response to criticisms of this thesis discussed in SE 534 649. Indicates that there appears to be no evidence that using nontraditional topics as organizers will make science more subject to manipulation and perversion. (JN)

Klein, Carol A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1971
Describes study to determine if children from high, middle, and low socioeconomic groups differed in understanding selected science concepts and in the methods they would suggest to find answers related to the concepts. Results reveal differences. Curriculum planning should take these differences into account. Thirteen references. (PR)

Hofstein, Avi; Yager, Robert E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
It is noted science education is in a major period of transition, largely because of major problems facing society today. The feeling expressed is that science teaching designed to respond to societal demands of the 1960's is inappropriate for the demands of the 1980's. Possible directions for new programs are discussed. (MP)

Lonning, Robert A.; DeFranco, Thomas C. – School Science and Mathematics, 1994
An integrated mathematics/science elementary methods course was developed as part of Connecticut's statewide systemic initiative. Considers: (1) What does integration mean? (2) What content should be taught? and (3) How should it be taught? Implementation team included an exemplary elementary teacher. Appendix presents a sample integrated lesson.…
