	Encyclopedia: 1960 in science
		For example, one major problem of science programs before the development of frameworks was that in 1st grade a child learned about plants, and in 3rd grade received the same lessons, and in 4th and 5th grade the child learned the same concepts about plants again.
		The science sub-committees were to justify the inclusion of natural sciences in the schools, which they did by citing the disciplinary value and the potential for the development of the intellect.
		Having examined science education and technology through the course of the century, it is appropriate to place the use of technology in science teaching into a broader context and to consider other avenues for research into what the use of technology could bring to science education.

		These science supervisors can provide information on the types of science programs their schools are using and how well each of the programs are working in their state.
		Probably the greatest oxymoron in science education, creation science aims to introduce a non-scientific version of the origin of life to be taught alongside evolution in biology curriculum.

	INFORMATION SCIENCE: THE INVISIBLE SUBSTRATE
		The domain of information science is the universe of recorded information that is selected and retained for later access; the domain of education is curricula; and the domain of journalism is the journalistic product of all the newsworthy areas of life (science reporting, political reporting, etc.).
		The natural sciences study the natural world, the social sciences study the social worlds produced by humans, and the arts and humanities study the content and context of the creative works of human beings, from philosophy to literature to the arts.
		In mid-twentieth century social science we have had a series of waves of methodological fashion--each wave declaring the prior approach to be hopelessly bankrupt and inadequate.

		Philip K. Dick was becoming a martyr to science fiction by leading a penurious, paranoid, and painful life for the sake of novels unappreciated in their day and only available in cheap paperback editions.

		Science instruction and the types of physical spaces needed for basic science instruction have changed significantly since Stoffer Hall was opened in 1960.
		Science instruction is a vital component of general education, and its advanced coursework supports students in many specialized fields, most specifically the health-related disciplines.
		Science forms the foundation upon which instruction in these disciplines is based.

	Science, Technology and Nonviolent Action, by Brian Martin
		By examining what science and technology is likely to be useful for nonviolent action, a set of priorities for disciplinary fields, research projects and methods of research is obtained that is quite different from ones associated with military priorities.
		It is worth noting that to refer to 'basic' science is to prejudge the assessment, since 'basic' science is normally assumed to exclude those areas of science which are close to applications and in which the influence of groups such as the military is obvious and direct.
		The usual approach to the social shaping of science and technology is to observe the apparent connection between the existence of a social interest and developments in science or technology that seem to respond to or serve that social interest.

	The Anti-Science Movement of the 1970's
		The final, and most serious criticism of science and technology is that the scientific world-view robs the world of mystery and beauty, explains away phenomena, and trivializes what it touches.
		A good deal of the antipathy between science and religion is the result of scientists, like Francis Crick and Jacques Monod, misusing science as a prop for their own personal philosophies.
		The most obvious flaw in the statement is the implication that science has somehow undermined the concept of an afterlife, or of prolonging an individual's life beyond the grave, concepts that are simply inaccessible to science.

		Every science fiction writer and reader got to tell their families and friends "I told you so!" Space was not just for astronauts, of course.
		The first weather satellite was launched in 1960, the first live transatlantic television by satellite was in 1962 (Telstar), and either one of these applications launched an industry that more than paid for the manned extravaganzas.
		The science fiction media boom was obvious to everyone, except the TV network executives, who still saw it as part of the low-budget juvenile heritage of the 1940s and 1950s.

	Iconophobia, Knight Dunlap, and the vanishing images of J.B. Watson. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Behaviorism rejected the whole notion of psychology as the science of mental life, and effectively brought discussion of mental imagery to a halt.
		The "analog-propositional" dispute may perhaps be said to be still gently simmering, despite the influential efforts of Anderson (1978, 1979) as well as Palmer (1978) to declare it a nonissue.
		The distinctions I shall make will be applied to, and illustrated by, the circumstances of the first banishment of the mental image from psychological science, at the hands of J. Watson - a strange episode which seems to have been crucial to the origins of his behaviorism.

		As an sf master and critic whose reputation transcends the genre, LeGuin is ideal for overseeing the project, albeit assisted by an academic.
		It is no way a good representation of what science fiction, as a genre, has to offer, which is a good thing.
		By excluding everything written before 1960-in other words before LeGuin and her associates became active-an enormous number of the genres masterpieces were disqualified.

	Department of Dietetics, Faculty of Applied Science - Faculty of Science at the University of Melbourne Unit entry
		The Dietetics course at the University of Melbourne was moved into the Faculty of Applied Science when it was founded in 1960, and disappeared from the university altogether when this Faculty was abolished in 1969.
		The university course was not popular however, mostly because it was possible to become a dietitian in Victoria simply by completing a 2 year course at the Emily Mac (and later the Gordon Institute in Geelong).
		Audrey Cahn contended that Trikojus was forced to set up the nutrition course because the University of Melbourne had received a grant to do so, but that it was always regarded simply as 'cookery', and Trikojus did all he could to try to get rid of it.

		The number of women entering studies in science and engineering increased from 1960 to 1990.
		Their interest in these traditionally masculine courses were reflected in other fields, and those who subsequenlty took up advanced studies in science and engineering had begun to reach the parity that had been desired by educators seeking equality in all fields.
		However, women who have graduated from these courses were not given much encouragement by their superiors and peers were likely to be dismayed by the existing male-dominated circles which prevented their active participation.
