ABSTRACT
This volume is composed of 11 source documents which
report activities sponsored by the National Science Board Commission
on Precollege Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology,
deliberations of a subgroup of the National Science Foundation
Engineering Advisory Committee, and a paper prepared for the Pfizer
Corporation. The first four presentations address the
teaching/learning of mathematics, science, and technology in grades
K-12. Issues of appropriate content and process are discussed.
Suggestions for changing some of the content of traditional
elementary and secondary education are presented and arguments for
the heed for all students to study mathematics, science, and
technology every year during their elementary/secondary education are
made. Section five reports on the uses of technology as a tool in
education rather than Learning about technology. The last five
sections report on: research and cognition and behavior relevant to
education Ln mathematics, science, and technology; results of a
50-state survey of initiatives in science, mathematics, and computer
education; magnet schools; an assessment of programs that facilitate
increased access and achievement of females and minorities in K-12
mathematics and science education; a case study of Lyons Township
(LaGrange, Illinois) high school computer literacy program; and
business' role in precollegiate education. (JN)

, FOREWORD
This Volume is composed of source documents which report activities spon-
sored by the National Science Board Commission on Precollege Education in
Mathematics, Science and Technology, deliberations of a subgroup of the
National Science Foundation Engineering Advisory Committee, and a paper
prepared for the Pfizer Corporation. Five of the documents are reports from
conferences on mathematics, science and technology education. Participants in
these conferences included scientists, mathematicians and engineers, elemen-
tary and secondary schOol teachers and administrators, representatives of
professional societies, foundations, private industry and business. Some papers
report the results of surveys and assessments of ad hoc committee activities.
The first four presentations address the teaching and learning of mathema-
tics, science and technology in grades K-12. Issues of appropriate content and
process are discussed. Suggestions for changing some of the content of tradi-
tional elementary and secondary education are presented and arguments for the
need for all students to study mathematics, science and technology every year
during their elementary and secondary education are made.
Emerging new technologies hold promise for more effective education.
Though this is addressed in the papers related to subject matter learning and
teaching, the topic is sufficiently important to merit a separate presentation on
the uses of technology as a tool in education rather than learning about
technology.
The new technologies have also allowed new reseal ch methods in the areas
of cognition and behavior. Some of the findings of this research relevant to
precollege mathematics, science and technology education are presented in this
volume.
NSB Commission has seen some excellent programs throughout the
country. New initiatives for improving elementary and secondary education,
which have been undertaken by states, are described herein as well as model
programs and some methods designed to motivate minority and female students
to pursue careers in scientific, mathematical and technological fields. And some
possibilities for business and industry to become involved in the improvement
of elementary and secondary education are described.
The views and opinions expressed in this Volume do not necessarily reflect
the views of the NSB Commission, the National Science Board or the National
Science Foundation. Nevertheless, in the opinion of the NSB Commission, the
contributions provide a useful range of perspectives on ways to improve and
continually ensure a sound and effective education in mathematics, science and
technology for the youth of our Nation. We hope the ideas expressed in this
Volume will aid those actively involved in the improvement of elementary and
secondary education and motivate others within theii appropriate roles to bring
this country's educational system to the forefront in the world by the year 1995.
