Abstract | Evaluated were longitudinal effects of a four-year unified science curriculum on high school graduates. Specific effects were grouped in areas of (1) interest in science, (2) scientific literacy, and (3) preparation for college science. The 358 subjects had graduated from high school four to seven years prior to the study. Efforts were made to control variables such as intelligence, school achievement, school setting, sex, and age. Data were obtained from high school and college transcripts and from a questionnaire. Findings indicated a general and consistent favorability for graduates from the unified science curriculum although the level of significance exceeded the arbitrary minimum in only a few isolated cases. A bibliography related to unified science is included. (BC) |
