A procedure for using and evaluating concept maps

The procedures devised for mapping and evaluating maps has been applied to a number of different topic areas both for senior chemistry and for junior science. We believe that this procedure for constructing concept maps is more comprehensive and facilitates student use better than previous procedures. The procedure for evaluating concept maps has also been refined to the point whereby the classroom teacher can readily apply it as part of his/her teaching strategy. The research for this paper further supports concept mapping both as an instructional and evaluative tool.

Background aptitude and school factors related to achievement in year 12 science subjects

The foregoing analyses suggest that achievement in Year 12 students was not related to either the use of exploratory teaching methods or the standard of science facilities. Possibly this was due to the fact that only senior students who had chosen to study science were included in the investigation. These results are based on data from Year 12 students who had chosen to study science and may therefore be different in important respects from other Year levels. It is possible that data from a sample of the whole age group in junior secondary school could yield a different pattern of relationships. Other studies (Ainley, 1978c) have suggested that in the junior secondary area the provision of better facilities was associated with enriched science learning experiences. Perhaps the Australian Science Facilities Programme would have been of greater benefit had it been directed more to the junior science area rather than to the senior science specialities.

Report on Meeting of the Cooperative Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics

The Cooperative Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics of the AAAS was held in the new AAAS building in Washington, D. C., on October 11 and 13, 1956. The following items are of particular interest to members of the NABT and should indicate how the NABT benefits by having a member attend these cooperative meetings. The Science Teacher Improvement Program (STIP) has continued to encourage the professional education of all science teachers. The work started in 1955-56 in the colleges and universities will be continued. It is hoped that a plan can be developed for the promotion of this activity on a regional basis, for which leadership will be obtained from scientists working in their own region. The plan calls for 18 regions and each regional consultant would have an annual budget of $300. The cooperation w i t h professional education groups will be extended to include further wvork with organizations on projects already started and new activities with other groups. Scientists are being invited to work with the Teacher Education and Professional Standards Commissions in every state to assist in formulating proper certification standards. The AAAS in cooperating with the NAS-NRC Educational Advisory Review Board in a review of the use of television in science teaching. STIP is planning to cooperate with NEA on a special study of merit salary increases. An interesting proposal has been received from Ventura Countv, California, in aiding the working conditions of teachers. This proposal covers purchase of equipment and library materials which will be used in projects involving science teachers in research. The science counselor service has been started at Penn State University, University of Nebraska, University of Oregon and the University of Texas. This is the plan whereby selected counselors, two from each universitv, visit approximately 25 schools each at several times during the year, to aid those science teachers who can benefit from meetings with university personnel. Plans are under way for special regional conferences of state colleges in the Midwest to consider ways of improving science and mathematics teacher education programs and relationships with secondary schools. Support has been given to the development of Junior Academies, Science Fairs and Science Clubs.
