The Crisis
in Science Education
Tracer Bullet 90-5 |
|
In the early 1980's a number of reports on the status of science
and mathematics education were published, making evident declining
science and mathematics achievement, dropping enrollment, and
a shortage of qualified teachers. In April 1983 the National Commission
on Excellence in Education presented its report to President Reagan
The report, entitled A Nation at Risk: the Imperative for Educational
Reform, compared the quality of teaching and learning in America's
schools and colleges with those of other advanced nations. A Nation
at Risk became the focus of nationwide media attention. This sparked
renewed federal involvement in science and mathematics education,
school/industry coalitions were set up, and a call for help was
issued to all interested parties. Concerned with the scientific
literacy of their employees and their future employees, business
and industry offered assistance in a number of ways--providing
money, training, equipment, competitions, and other cooperative
efforts.
This present guide complements LC Science Tracer Bullet 75-5,
Science Education in America, which provides a historical overview.
Not meant to be a comprehensive bibliography, this is designed--as
the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."

Examines the forces associated with elementary
and secondary education that shape the talent pool, traces pathways
to undergraduate and graduate education in science and engineering,
and presents a discussion of policy areas for possible congressional
action, developed under two strategies, labeled 'retention' and
'recruitment.'
