  EJSE Vol. 2, No. 1 - Neathery: Elem. and sec. students; perceptions toward science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Attitudes associated with science appear to be affecting student participation in science as a subject (AAAS, 1989; Koballa, Crawley, and Shrigley, 1990) and impacting performance in science (IAEP, 1992; Weiss, 1987; Linn, 1992).
In the international study (IAEP, 1992), the highest-performing 13-year-old students were those in Korea, Taiwan, and Switzerland; students from seven countries including France, Scotland, Spain, the United States, England, and China performed at the IAEP (1992) average of 67 percent.
The contents of the science subtests of the SRA are based on learner objectives most commonly taught in science courses in the United States.

 The Scientist : Science Research In 1992: What Fields Were The Hottest Of The Hot?
Based on this criterion, ISI's monthly newsletter Science Watch put this area of scientific study at the top of its list of last year's seven hottest research fields, and--using citation analysis--also identified the 31 most cited research papers of the year.
Examined together, the lists provide a fascinating glimpse of where the world of science has been heading in the recent past--and where it may be heading in the near future.
Science Watch searched ISI's exclusive "Hot Papers" database to compile a list of 31 of 1992's superstar papers; all had attracted at least 20 citations by the end of the year.

 Science - Science and Spirituality
Modern science broke down the confining limitations of superstition and religion by an intense observation and experimentation with material phenomena leading to concepts and theories which appeared to directly contradict those propagated by the religions of the day.
A marriage between science's experimental knowledge of the infinitesimal and a spiritual knowledge of the infinite can generate a major conceptual breakthrough at the level of pure science, leading to unifying concepts in the life sciences similar to those already developed in mathematics.
In science, the intelliec tual revolution known as the 'age of reason' began 300 years ago and has given birth to modern science and technology.

 Association for Psychological Science: History of APS
The Association for Psychological Science (previously American Psychological Society) is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 1988 to advance scientific psychology and its representation as a science on the national level.
APS helped ensure the preservation of the behavioral science mission of the research components of the former Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) during their transfer to NIH as part of the October 1992 ADAMHA Reorganization Act.
In 1992, Psychological Science was followed by the creation of the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science, which publishes concise reviews written by leading experts, and spans all of scientific psychology and its applications.

 Doing Science with Your Children
However, science is better defined as a way of observing and thinking about the world, and communicating these thoughts to others.
Science in the early years should be an extension of these natural behaviors.
Science begins for children when they discover that they can learn about the world through their own actions, such as blowing soap bubbles, adding a block that causes a structure to collapse, or refracting light through a prism.

 New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards - Science
In New Jersey, the call for science education standards was heightened when the State was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation for the establishment of a Statewide Systematic Initiative (NJ SSI) for the reform of mathematics, science, and technology education.
Science should be taught at all levels with awareness of its connection to other subjects and the needs of society.
Science is not merely a collection of facts and theories but a process, a way of thinking about and investigating the world in which we live.

 COMPUTER BASED SCIENCE ASSESSMENT and Students With Learning Disabilities
Science education has been one of the major topics of reform in the United States, leading to national curriculum and assessment standards currently being developed for science education.
In this respect, an argument could be made that science education as a field, is failing to provide learning disabled students with suitable assessment technology in order to meet their testing needs.
If the goal of science education in the United States is to make science available for all people, and it is not rhetoric, then the rights of students with learning disabilities must be honored and their science educational needs given due consideration.

 Defining Misconduct in Science
Misconduct in science does not include errors of judgment; errors in the recording, selection, or analysis of data; differences in opinions involving the interpretation of data; or misconduct unrelated to the research process.
I cannot think of an example of "fabrication" in science, as defined, that would not be a case of serious misconduct, but there are certainly cases of "falsification" and "plagiarism" that few people would consider serious misconduct.
As the stakes in science continue to rise, with increasing competition between labs for fewer research dollars, scientists will continue to have greater temptations to cut corners, and the scientific community will tend to be more protective of its diminishing autonomy.

 Social Science Quarterly, Sept 1992 v73 n3 pp
The notion that between the world wars a group of French historians open to the insights and methods of the social sciences declared war on traditional narrative and largely political history and through the journal Annales made French historical scholarship preeminent deĀ­pends in large part on denigrating the historical accomplishments of earlier French scholars.
In Braudel we have a historian for whom geography, climate, economics, and material culture generally exert a deterministic force which individuals highly or lowly placed resist without hope, the analytical discussion of which relegates the history of persons and events to no more than an appendix.
It may be that they have attempted to organize all the social sciences under the imperial aegis of historians, not something likely to be easily appreciated or tolerated.
