Abstract | Reported is a study representing a chronological history of selected objectives for the teaching of secondary school chemistry in the United States during the 1918-1972 period. Periodical literature was the primary source of materials reviewed, consisting of "School Science and Mathematics" (1918-1972), "Science Education" and "The General Science Quarterly" (1918-1972), "The Journal of Chemical Education" (1924-1972), "The Science Teacher" and "The Illinois Chemistry Teacher" (1934-1972), "The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" (1945-1972), and "The Journal of Research in Science Teaching" (1963-1972). The 1918-1972 time span was divided into six subperiods: 1918-1933, 1932-1941, 1939-1946, 1945-1957, 1954-1964, and 1963-1972. (Reasons for these subdivisions are provided in the report.) The investigator identified 18 distinct types of objectives and found that, while yearly fluctuations existed for numbers of articles and statements concerned with objectives for teaching secondary school chemistry, the number of distinct objective types remained fairly constant. Sixteen of the 18 were found in literature for all 6 subperiods, no objective appeared in the literature of later subperiods that was not present in subperiod 1, 1918-1933. (Author/PEB) |
