Description
Changes took place in the science curriculum during the
1960's; the "classical" approach was discarded for laboratory
oriented courses. The courses were excellent for highly motivated
students but little was developed for the slow or basic
students.
This author found that in trying to develop a course for
basics, one must look at the students and develop a program around
their needs. They need to teel important and that they are not
failures.
This writer also found the teacher to be of prime importance
to the su.ccess of the program, strict discipline and lecturing will
not work with the basic students. The teacher must be willing to
remove failure from the classroom, make the material sufficiently
elementary, arouse curiosity, and make the material appealing and
relevant. A basic program must be based on a humanistic approach,
if the children are to learn.
