| Abstract: | Evidence is offered that the Levels of Attainment in Science in Britain's National Curriculum will be achieved by only the top 20 percent of 14 and 16 year olds, rather than 50 percent as planned. New teaching skills are presented as ways to alter this prediction. Success in improving standards is demonstrated in three examples. (Author/KR) |
