- Title
THE TEACHING OF BASIC PREMISES AS AN APPROACH TO SCIENCE IN GENERAL EDUCATION.
- Authors
Van Deventer, W. C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the teaching of basic premises as an approach to science in general education in the U.S. It is contained in tests prepared by the members of the Science Committee of the Cooperative Study for the Evaluation of General Education of the American Council on Education. These examinations attempt to ascertain the elements of scientific method and attitude which are incorporated in news articles and other writings at the non-technical level. If the basic premises are to be effective for purposes of general education in science, it must be teachable at the level of the non-specialized student.
