Direct linkLee, Mimi Miyoung; Chauvot, Jennifer B.; Vowell, Julie; Culpepper, Shea Mosley; Plankis, Brian J. – School Science and Mathematics, 2013
This paper is based on an online graduate program for middle school science and mathematics teachers in Texas titled Integration of Science, Mathematics and Reflective Teaching (iSMART). Launching the program for its first cohort in fall 2010, the authors attempted to answer the following two questions in this paper: (a) How do the members of the…

Peer reviewedWavering, Michael J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1980
Described is science education's role in the back to the basics movement. Science education is described as providing opportunities for the development of (1) logical structures, (2) the understanding of the scientific processes, and (3) the development of creative problem solving techniques. (Author/DS)

Peer reviewedBarrow, Lloyd H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
Three definitions of "back-to-the-basics" are given and discussed. The idea that science provides opportunities to practice the most "skill-thinking" is also discussed. (MK)

Peer reviewedHarty, Harold; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
Presented are the results of a survey of elementary school principals designed to determine whether problem solving and critical thinking skills are an integral part of the science curriculum in elementary schools. Curriculum orientation, amount of problem solving, and problem-solving/higher-order thinking priorities are discussed. (CW)

Peer reviewedPratt, Donald L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
Recent thinking about the mathematics being used in science courses, with an emphasis on problem solving, is reviewed. Data from a survey of the mathematics content in secondary science textbooks are then presented, with suggestions for science instruction. (MNS)

Peer reviewedWollman, Warren – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
The pendulum and balance beam were studied. The principal question addressed was whether students could substantially and quickly benefit from a teaching strategy explicitly designed to promote transfer. About half the subjects could acquire in brief time a procedure for transferring knowledge to novel tasks. (MP)

Peer reviewedChampagne, Audrey B.; Klopfer, Leopold E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1981
Identified are reasons for discrepancies between desired states and actual practice of problem solving and reflective thinking. Issues discussed include describing the development of problem solving, using problem solving methods in instruction, outcome of developing students' problem solving abilities, and reasonable expectations of attaining the…
