| Popis: |
When we first met in 1962 Bob Karplus was a theoretical physicist and I was an Assistant Superintendent of Schools. We both had a second love (at the time) called elementary science education and our chance meeting as consultants to an educational toy company redirected my career, and enhanced Bob’s commitment to science education. It resulted in what became known as the Science Curriculum Improvement Study or SCIS which in Latin we later found out means to know. According to our editor the SCIS team developed “240 exciting science lessons.” I never counted them and the fact that over 35 years after we started, the SCIS3+ (Their and Knott, 1998) revision of the original materials is still a viable commercial product attests to the fact that at least some of them are exciting. I think this is true because from the beginning (1963) SCIS (first published in 1970) was a pioneer in providing: a strong conceptual framework; a comprehensive equipment and materials kit; and an articulated teaching strategy (the SCIS Learning Cycle). |
