‘Practical Work in School Science’

Abstract

Are you a doer or a thinker? “We were repeatedly told by teachers and students that they had been so engrossed in what they were doing and how it was done that they had given little thought to why they did it.” The great merit of this research is that it has encouraged some of these doers (science teachers and ex‐pupils) to reflect on ‘why’ questions: the report gives the views of practical men and not of ivory tower thinkers.
