A. The Administrator Looks at Science Education Objectives

Abstract

In this article, Dr. Brooks discusses the what, the when, the where, the why, and the how of science education in the secondary school. He discusses various objectives that the good school administrator considers in setting up functional courses of study in science or in evaluating them. He shows how science courses must be kept in line with the time. He states "that the principal who would build well in the field of science instruction must select his objectives both general and specific with care; he must be sure that they are sound in terms of educational philosophy, community understanding, and pupil needs and interests."
