8. Issues in Survey Assessments of STS Courses

Author

Mack, Pamela E., Campbell, Todd, and Hashidah Abd-Hamid, Nor

Abstract

This study presents the circuitous route taken in an attempt to identify an assessment mechanism for evaluating the impact of STS courses. After initially developing a survey that faculty felt only allowed for the measurement of student opinions about the impact of required STS general education courses, the faculty at Clemson University identified Aikenhead and Ryan's Views on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS) as an instrument that, when used with the scoring guide created in this project, might be able to assess the sophistication of students views about science and technology in society. The results from administering the pre- and post-VOSTS surveys in one STS course revealed no significant differences when comparing the sophistication of students' views about STS before and after the course. These findings demonstrate that, among other considerations discussed in the manuscript, it will be difficult to find a way of assessing STS courses that can be used for the diverse courses meeting the requirement.

9. The Transformation of Science Education at Mount Holyoke in the Gilded Age.

Author

Levin, Miriam R. and Mack, Pamela E.

Abstract

Little attention has been paid to the topic of science education in liberal arts colleges and seminaries during the 3 decades following the Civil War. This paper argues that Mount Holyoke College (Massachusetts) made a place for itself in the scientific community in the last decades of the nineteenth century by developing a curriculum which accommodated the school's commitment to science education with the opportunities opening for women in newly professionalized jobs, such as teaching, medicine, and research. The first section of this paper describes the changes in the structure and content of the science curriculum of the seminary from about 1868. The second part presents a brief intellectual biography of Cornelia Clapp to suggest something of the changes in the attitudes and consciousness of faculty engaged in the transformation of the curriculum. A final section provides information about the careers of graduates and suggests some further inquiries. (YP)

12. From Engineering Science to Big Science: The NACA and NASA Collier Trophy Research Project Winners

Author

Mack, Pamela E

Subjects
General
Abstract

The chapters of this book discuss a series of case studies of notable technological projects carried out at least in part by the NACA and NASA. The case studies chosen are those projects that won the National Aeronautic Association's (NAA) Collier Trophy for "the greatest achievement in aviation in America, the value of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by use during the preceding year." Looking back on the whole series of projects we can examine both what successes were seen as important at various times, and how the goals and organization of these notable projects changed over time.
