The major goal of Science Teacher Careers is the development of secondary school science teachers in the skills necessary to incorporate science inquiry [the methodology of science] and critical thinking into the science curriculum. These skills enable students to learn and understand science more deeply and to ensure they acquire the analytical tools needed to approach problems of all kinds (social & economic), not only science problems. Many teachers have had little experience in investigative science, i.e. science inquiry, as described in the National Science Education Standards. It is a comprehensive method of teaching science which encourages the student to investigate a ‘question' into a significant science conceptual area. It requires the students to do research, to work in collaboration with others and to record their procedures, data and their thoughts.
