Abstract:
The crisis in physics education—and in math and science education in general—has two primary features: the severe shortage of qualified teachers and the small fraction of high-school students choosing to take physics and other elective science and math courses. Both of these problems have contributed to the science illiteracy that is now the focus of national attention. As the American public, scientists, politicians and other citizens have become aware of the significance of the crisis, they have put forward many new ideas. State and local governments, teachers' unions, university professors and leaders of business and industry have gone beyond the stereotypical and Pavlovian responses that have often blocked change in the past.
