Word meaning becomes a problem in high school science course and in general education science courses at the college level. Advocates of the use of scientific terminology teach a specialized vocabulary and spend more hours testing for mastery of the terms. Many science books and elementary texts give evidence that complex ideas can be expressed in everyday language. There is a real danger in this approach to popularizing science. The danger that laymen may assume that the explanation is exact rather than an approximate description. The use of teleological expressions is a weakness in science teaching. A student must be trained to recognized the unspoken implications behind scientific statements. Class lectures and conventional laboratory procedures are the most effective methods known for sterilizing facts and ideas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1961 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
