- Title
A BRIEF FOR A SOCIO-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE COURSE IN COLLEGE GENERAL EDUCATION.
- Authors
Moore, John N.
- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of Socio-biological science course in college general education in the U.S. There are many diverse interpretations pertaining to the purpose of education, the content of education and the value of formal educational efforts, which are recorded in various studies of education in this country. The philosophy back of general education calls for an effort to frame the educative process in terms of problems of life as men face them, that is, to aim the curriculum at human orientation and social direction. Therefore, general education courses should be conceived with enhancement of opportunity for transfer of information in mind. In addition, it would seem that education would be general in the degree to which social relationships are taken into account.
