• Resumen

  • To produce an elementary teacher who is prepared for and enthusiastic about teaching science, a completely new curriculum for teacher preparation must be designed. This curriculum must integrate the rudiments of physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and mathematics in a seamless way that portrays the universality of science. The new curriculum must also be an experiential one in which the prospective teacher is constantly relating scientific principles to the world about us.
