Science in a Postmodern World.

Bruffee, Kenneth A.

Change, v24 n5 p18-25 Sep-Oct 1992

Sheila Tobias' recommendations for improvement of college science education in the study "They're Not Dumb, They're Different" are discussed. It is concluded that science should be presented as a pragmatic interpretive tradition as part of the liberal arts, and students should learn to "talk and write science" to each other. (MSE)
