本文的前提是,科学教育出现危机的主要原因之一是我们的学院和大学未能提供大学预科教师有效教授科学所需的准备类型。所采取的观点是基于多年来向各个年级的未来和实践教师教授物理和物理科学的经验。探讨了现行教师培养体系的不足,并提出了开设教师专业物理课程的论点。华盛顿大学的经验为讨论此类课程的智力目标和教学方法的类型提供了基础。
This article proceeds from the premise that one of the major reasons for the perceived crisis in science education is the failure of our colleges and universities to provide the type of preparation that precollege teachers need to teach science effectively. The perspective taken is based on many years of teaching physics and physical science to prospective and practicing teachers at all grade levels. The inadequacy of the present system of preparing teachers is examined and an argument is presented for offering special physics courses for teachers. Experience at the University of Washington provides the basis for a discussion of the type of intellectual objectives and instructional methods that should characterize such courses.
