JoinTargeting Future Teachers
Science in Perspective, a third-semester, speaking-intensive course for nonscience majors and future teachers, builds on participants’ prior science background to help them more fully understand and apply scientific concepts. This article describes the development of the course and the various types of speaking assignments given throughout the semester. Students learn by teaching, and their evaluations indicate that through this course they increase their science knowledge and, more importantly, become more confident when speaking about current scientific issues.
