We may put aside all abstract arguments and rely on the empirical fact that other nations have had great success in science education.Korea has made great strides in education,particularly in mathematics and the physical sciences. .................... The New York Times,in an article on science education in Korea,interviewed a nine-year-old girl and inquired after her personal hero.She replied; Stephen Hawking.Believe me,I have absolutely nothing against Larry Bird or Micheal Jordan,but wouldn't it be lovely if even one American kids in 10,000 gave such an answer.The article went on to say that science whizzes are class heroes in Korean school,not isolated and ostracized dweebs. ----------The essay written by Stephen Jay Gould. He teaches biology,geology,and history of science at Harvard University. I am proud of Korean education.Also,many people who are interested in the way of science education envy our education. |
