    Science Education in the United States of America

    (Audrey B. Champagne.)

        Science education in the United States of America is in the midst of an unprecedented reform movement-unprecedented because the movement is driven by national standards developed with support from the federal government. The standards for science education are redefining the character of science education from kindergarten to the postgraduate education of scientists and science teachers. Unlike the education in most countries of the world, education of students in kindergarten through grade twelve in the United States is not the responsibility of the federal government but is controlled by the individual states. States have the right to regulate all elements of the curriculum-the content all students are expected to learn, the structural organization of programs across all grades, the structural organization of the yearly curriculum in each subject, teaching methods, and textbooks. Historically, and even now, the states jealously guard all their rights and resist efforts by the federal government to exercise control over matters that are the responsibility of the states. The federal government's involvement in education has been to identify matters of national priority and to provide funds and other resources to the states to meet the national priorities. So, for instance, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the United States felt that its perceived preeminence in scientific research and its national safety were threatened, science education was identified as a national priority. The primary purpose of the federal government's initiatives was to encourage and upgrade the science education of young people who would become practicing scientists. This effort was not perceived by the states as an erosion of their rights because it was a response to a threat to the nation and was targeted on the science education of a relatively few students. The current situation is quite different.
        The federal government's underwriting of the development of national standards for education has the potential for shifting the control of the curriculum from the states to the federal government. This initiative, supported by the National Association of Governors, is the result of the concern of political, business and industrial leaders with the poor quality of education across the nation and with the effect this poor quality has on the U.S. position in the world economy. The goal of the standards movement from the prospective of political, business, and industrial leaders is to strengthen education so that the schools will produce graduates with the knowledge and skills required of them to be productive in the workplace.
       The pedagogy and attitudes of many teachers and professors alike has been that science is for the few. So little concern or effort was applied to make science interesting or to make learning it easy. Consequently, only highly motivated and highly intelligent students survived science courses. Thus it appears education in the natural sciences develops individuals who reason well, are critical thinkers, are creative problem solvers-in short, are intelligent. But, we must ask, does education in the natural sciences produce smarter people or do smart people survive science as it is taught? While historically the answer to the question may well have been survival, the national standards are based on the beliefs that science is for all and can produce smarter people.

    Texto 2


    A obra D. Guidinha do Poço conta a história de D. Margarida Reginaldo de Sousa Barros — conhecida como Guida ou Guidinha —, herdeira do Capitão-Mor Reginaldo Venceslau. Depois da morte do pai, ela se casa com o Major Joaquim Damião de Barros, o Major Quim, dezesseis anos mais velho do que ela. Embora tivessem casa na vila, fixaram residência na fazenda Poço da Moita, herdade de Margarida. Depois de alguns anos de casados, Margarida se apaixona por Secundino, jovem praciano, sobrinho do marido. Quando o Major Quim descobre a traição, pede o divórcio, que Guida não aceita. O Major deixa-a na fazenda e vai morar na casa da Vila. A mulher, então, contrata um capanga de nome Naiú para matar o marido. O caboclo faz o serviço, mas, quando é preso, revela que fora D. Margarida a mandante do homicídio.

    O capítulo que você lerá é o último da obra, quando se dá a prisão de D. Guidinha do Poço.

    Reflita sobre o excerto transcrito: “A saia de montaria, de bretanha, arfava ao vento, produzindo uma irritação estranha aquele pano branco na alma enlutada da população. Guida olhava a turba com admiração, que ao povo parecia petulância e, por vê-la açoitar o cavalo, diziam que ela acenava com o chicote para ele...” (linhas 87-93).


    I. O período transcrito poderia ter a seguinte estrutura: A saia de montaria, de bretanha, arfava ao vento, produzindo aquele pano branco uma irritação estranha na alma enlutada da população.

    II. O verbo dizer, no plural, “diziam”, concorda ideologicamente com “povo”, isto é, concorda com a ideia de plural dessa palavra, não com a sua forma.

    III. A oração “por vê-la açoitar o cavalo” tem o valor semântico de condição.

    Medicinal Treasures of the Rainforest


            The widespread destruction of tropical rainforest ecosystems and the consequent extinction of numerous plant and animal species is happening before we know even the most basic facts about what we are losing.


            Covering only 6 percent of the Earth's surface, tropical moist forests contain at least half of all species. The abundant botanical resources of tropical forests have already provided tangible medical advances; yet only 1 percent of the known plant and animal species have been thoroughly examined for their medicinal potentials. Meanwhile, 2 percent of the world's rainforests are irreparably damaged each year. 


            Approximately 7,000 medical compounds prescribed by Western doctors are derived from plants. These drugs had an estimated retail value of US$43 billion in 1985. Seventy percent of the 3000 plants identified by the United States National Cancer Institute as having potential anti-cancer properties are endemic to the rainforest. Tropical forest species serve Western surgery and internal medicine in three ways. First, extracts from organisms can be used directly as drugs. For maladies ranging from nagging headaches to lethal contagions such as malaria, rainforest medicines have provided modern society with a variety of cures and pain relievers. 


    […]


            Secondly, chemical structures of forest organisms sometimes serve as templates from which scientists and researchers can chemically synthesize drug compounds.[…]


            Finally, rainforest plants provide aids for research. Certain plant compounds enable scientists to understand how cancer cells grow, while others serve as testing agents for potentially harmful food and drug products. Tropical forests offer hope for safer contraceptives for both women and men. The exponential growth of world population clearly demonstrates the need for more reliable and effective birth control methods. Worldwide, approximately 4,000 plant species have been shown to offer contraceptive possibilities. The rainforest also holds secrets for safer pesticides for farmers. Two species of potatoes have leaves that produce a sticky substance that traps and kills predatory insects. This natural self-defense mechanism could potentially reduce the need for using pesticides on potatoes. Who knows what other tricks the rainforest might have up its leaves?

    Feline Intelligence

    Dog and cat lovers seem to relish unending debates over which animal is "smarter." Dog owners often cap their arguments with the fact that dogs have the ability to perform tricks, while cat people counter with the claim that their pets are too intelligent to perform on command. In truth, such methods of pet comparison are useless animal-world versions of mixing apples and oranges. Dogs are motivated by a strong need to follow and please their masters in order to receive praise. The solitary cat answers to no one; nevertheless, if trainability may not be the feline's forte, cleverness and adaptability certainly are.

            Avicenna, Arabic Ibn Sīnā, (born 980, near Bukhara, Iran [now in Uzbekistan]—died 1037, Hamadan, Iran), Muslim physician, the most famous and influential of the philosopher-scientists of the medieval Islamic world. He was particularly noted for his contributions in the fields of Aristotelian philosophy and medicine. He composed the Book of the Cure, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which is among the most famous books in the history of medicine.


            Avicenna did not burst upon an empty Islamic intellectual stage. It is believed that Muslim writer Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ, or possibly his son, had introduced Aristotelian logic to the Islamic world more than two centuries before Avicenna. Al-Kindī, the first Islamic Peripatetic (Aristotelian) philosopher, and Turkish polymath al-Fārābī, from whose book Avicenna would learn Aristotle’s metaphysics, preceded him. Of these luminaries, however, Avicenna remains by far the greatest.
