Raskin, Abraham
- Abstract
The article features the accomplishments of the investigation conducted by the Committee on Developing an Integrated Science Program for the Non-Science Major about formulating a course in integrated science in a general education program for students who were majoring in areas other than science. A draft of the guiding principles for use in preparing the integrated science program is presented. According to the author, the program aims to develop an understanding of the nature of science, methods used by scientists, an active intellectual curiosity, an openness of mind, a passion for truth, a respect for evidence and an appreciation of the necessity for free communication in science and an awareness of the fact that the boundaries of the categorized sciences are largely artificial.
