| Abstract | A series of recommendations developed by the Council of Colleges of the Colleges of General and Professional Education (CEGEP) in Quebec (Canada) are presented in this report to the Ministry of Higher Education and Science for redesigning the CEGEP's natural sciences curriculum. The proposed reforms are designed to meet legislative requirements and remedy identified weaknesses in the existing programs. Part 1 discusses problems involved in revising the curriculum, including difficulties in achieving consensus and support for changes, lack of structure in the natural sciences curriculum, and problems with the content of the science courses. Part 2 provides a description and analysis of the existing science curriculum, including information on declining enrollments, course requirements, and program objectives. Next, part 3 presents the Council of College's recommendation's for the natural sciences program, focusing on: (1) program outcomes, broadly defined as science training to prepare students for university-level sciences; (2) general program orientation, including the parameters of a high-quality college education, an expanded and integrated approach, and the use of "science, technology, and society" and "materials and energy" as pervasive interdisciplinary themes; (3) program objectives in terms of general and specialized training; (4) course "blocks" developed in accordance with ministry regulations and various models for college-specific blocks, such as requirements for education/training in health occupations, applied sciences, or pure sciences; (5) the number of courses offered in each discipline; (6) the integration of knowledge and skills; and (7) admissions criteria. Specific recommendations are presented for most of the topics. Part 4 recommends a period of experimentation for the implementation of the proposed changes. Finally, concluding comments provide a synthesis of the Council's recommendations. (AC) |
