It analyzes student problems, teacher preservice and inservice education, curricular innovations and reforms, laboratory instruction, teaching resources, and perceptions of the education system, including values-related issues. The review argues that improving quality requires attention beyond new curricula, considering school ethos, discipline, teacher preparation, student motivation, and financial constraints, and

\"seriousattention needs to be paid to improving the quality of that education.  \nImproving quality is not just a matter of developing up-to-date curricula.That was done in the.1960s by various groups with generous financial supportfrom the NSF.But the data in the three reports indicate that the new cur-ricula`have not been spectaeularly effective.They are viewed by teachers andstudents as \"elitist,\"and in a sense they are.They were produced at a timewhen national concern was on producing_more scientists--in competition with theSoviet Union--more than on educating all students to understand the natural andsocial sciences'and mathematics.  \n.But the problem of improving science,social studies,and mathematics edu-cation is broader than curriculum.‘Together with all parts of the elementaryand secondary school curriculum,education in science is influenced by theschool ethos.Lack of respect by students for authority;hesitancy,for variousreasons,including legal,of teachers and administrators to impose discipline;assignment of teachers to subjects for which they are not.properly prepar","cbCairVlCiMoUpbT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairVlCiMoUpbT","pdf",3188821,41,"English","#
