Introduction
Science is undergoing a major shift in
instructional methods, moving from from
content-based instruction to developmental
instruction of concepts and processes, with the
emphasis being placed to a greater degree on
research.
11
Science and technology succeed when instruction
is based on the values that support our society.
Examples include

• Creativity
• Curiosity
• Open-mindedness
• Discipline
• Objectivity
• Skepticism
