Abstract: | Conclusion It seems reasonable to conclude that the impact of these projects has been extensive and that we have met our basic objectives
regarding the improvement of science education for the target teachers and students. The long-term goal of improved scientific
literacy of at least a part of the citizens of this country and world can only be assessed by some form of longitudinal study
that is beyond the scope and funding for these projects. But our assessment of what has been accomplished in the short term
efforts seems to indicate very positive gains in those areas of knowledge, confidence, and pedagogical capability that we
believe will enable the participants to make contributions to the improvement of scientific literacy for the students with
whom they work.
In short, we believe we have had two successful and worthwhile programs that have been useful and effective. |
