The interaction of researchers with teachers: What scientists can offer elementary and secondary schools
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton, New Jersey 08543 (United States)
Research scientists are engaged in a variety of programs to assist schools in teaching scientific principles by involving students and teachers in investigative processes. Scientists who want to assist in science education should understand the major reform efforts underway in the educational community. Current pedagogical practice has moved away from declarative science and into hands-on participation by students, in which they learn about science as a process. Scientists can help teachers ensure not only that curricular elements are technically accurate and current, but also that the elements represent the process of authentic science.
