Toward Wider Public Understanding of Science

Arons, Arnold

American Journal of Physics, 41, 6, 769-782, Jun 73

Describes college science teaching as overemphasizing jargon and end results and ignoring knowledge of methods, processes, successes, and limitations of science. Stresses students' understanding of science by self-paced synthesis of experience and historical, philosophical, and sociological presentation of science courses. (CC)
