THE "NEW" SCIENCE: SHALL WE DECIDE WHAT TO TEACH?

The article presents information on the need for providing science education in a new way. In secondary schools of the U.S., the level of science education is not satisfactory. Science education is gaining popularity, and some new methods are needed to make science education more interesting and comfortable. Science teachers are required to find solutions for the problems and needs of new science students. Teacher education is also necessary for making the students understand the new aspects of science. Science teachers should understand that a modification in science curriculum is needed for meeting the changing needs in science. Parents of the students should also be informed about the new programs in science, so that they can understand the purpose of the program.
