- Title
A STUDY OF NATURAL SCIENCE SURVEY COURSES IN NEGRO COLLEGES.
- Authors
Blanchet, Waldo W. E.
- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the move of many colleges for black students to include the general survey courses in the humanities, the social studies, and the natural sciences as part of the first two years of college work in the U.S. According to the old traditional concept of education, emphasis was placed on the acquisition of factual information. The development of a functional understanding of the major generalizations of science, the scientific attitudes, and the elements of the scientific method had a particular value in assisting an individual in directing, appraising, and control his own conduct.
