Moore, H. K.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the emergence of psychology as a course unit in junior high school science curriculum. There are several reasons behind the advent of its emergence. One of the possibilities is that the is edging its way into the general science course as an appendix to the general health units. A number of new text and reference books in general science and health consist psychological and mental health material other than that which ordinarily enters the subject with biology and physiology. Some of them are "Problems in General Science," "Science and the Way to Health," and "The Human Body and Its Care." The genre of psychology has a definite contribution to make to general science. For many a pupils education will end during the junior-high-school period, but it would be complete only when they will learn to apply the principles of psychology and mental hygiene to their own lives.
