| Abstract: | Most science educators spend much of their time planning and teaching science methods classes yet there is very little dialogue
among science educators concerning what ought to be taught. This study involved a small sample. Readers should think of it
as a model for conducting similar self-studies.
The instructor of this course has been teaching it since 1966, and each year, he has revised 10–20% of it. These data show
that some, but not all, of the revisions have resulted in improvement. This analysis illustrates how helpful the perceptions
of methods students can be for initiating and continuing a dialogue among educators regarding the structure of methods courses.
Although the question of “What ought to be taught?” has been clarified to a degree, it has and always will remain. |
