Teaching Science Appreciation

摘要

In his editorial "a new college science prize" (7 January, p. 10), B. Alberts writes that "the world badly needs a revolution in science education-a revolution that must begin at the college level." In the Education Forum "Changing the culture of science education at research universities" (14 January, p. 152), W. A. Anderson et al. argue that academic scientists should place a greater emphasis on teaching and that universities should support and reward excellence in pedagogy. We agree that improving undergraduate science instruction is critical.
