- Abstract
The article reviews several research in the teaching of science at the elementary school for level I education in the U. S. One study sought to determine the status of teacher training in elementary science. The teachers surveyed reported difficulty in obtaining equipment and books and in finding storage space. Another study determines the relationship between reported problems in teaching science in the elementary schools and elementary school science courses in California teacher training institutions. At the University of Southern California, another researcher questioned teachers regarding the kind of workshop in elementary science that the teachers considered valuable. The teachers expressed a desire for working space and a wealth of laboratory and library facilities, an atmosphere which promotes a free exchange of ideas, opportunity to plan much of the work, a chance to develop materials for their own classrooms and wide provision for experiments.
