Johnson, Philip Gustaf
- Abstract
The article presents several research which explore the history and the factors that contribute in the development of college preparation programs particularly in science education in the educational system in the U.S. In the first study an analysis was made on the historical development of courses of study for the teaching of science in the elementary education. As reflected in the first study, the development of courses of study in science for the elementary school has followed four stages mainly characterized by diverse yet distinct content of courses. Another research which used the survey method, is focused on the role of teachers in the development of courses of study for science education. One major finding in the study, is the varied attitudes of teachers from rural schools and junior high schools on the importance of preparations for the subject-matter.
