In the 1980s, as the United States encountered international economic and technological challenges, the very ability of the American educational system to produce a competitive labor force, able to learn and solve problems, was questioned. During this past decade, renewed concern about educational quality in the United States motivated over one hundred reports analyzing the shortcomings in our system of education and endorsing reform. All of the principal curriculum areas have been reviewed in this process moreover, science education has been deemed particularly deficient. Major reports sponsored by the National Science Foundation NSF and the American Association for the Advancement of Science AAAS recommend both content revision of science courses and methodological changes in the way science is presented throughout the elementary and secondary grades.
