Inone study, 402 students from New YorkCity high schools in low-income areas of the Bronx and Harlem were divided into three groups. The Control group read an 800-word typical science and textbook description about the great 2c- complishments of Einstein, Curie and Michael Faraday. ‘Another group read about those scientists per- sonal struggles, including Einstein's ight fom Nazi Germany to avoid persecution as 2 Jew. The third group of students read about the scientstintellec- tual struggles, such as Cures persistence despite a string of failed experiments. The struggle stoves in- cluded actions the scientist took to overcome these hurdles. Students who read about the scientist’intel- lectual or personal struggles were more likely tosay the famous scientist were people, lke then- salves, who had to overcome failure and obsta- dees to succeed, Students in the control group more often believed the great scientist had in- rate talent and a special aptitude for science. The study suggests that science textbooks should highlight the struggles of great scientists and provide more vivid narrative descriptions of the techniques that scientists used to overcome challenges,“Many kids do not see science as part oftheir everyday lives. We teach them important content, but we never bring it to life said the lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-Siegler.

The following text is for question 4-7 Text 2 Over the last two decades, the use of ICT has been an important topic in education. On the ‘one hand, studies have shown that (CT can en hhance teaching and leaming outcomes. For ex- ample, in science and mathematics education, scholars have documented that the use of ICT can improve students’ conceptual understand- ing, problem solving, and team working skills, Consequently, most curriculum documents state the importance of ICT and encourage school teachers to use them. However, teachers need to bbe specifically trained in order to integrate ICT in their teaching. Schools are known to be resistant to innova- tion and change. However, the spread of ICT is beginning to aftect how teachers teach. One of he current i he use of ICT ic he isintegrated into the curriculum. The curticulum documents provide arguments for introducing ICTin the school setting. Therefore, schools ex- pect that graduates from teacher education pro- ‘grams have a reasonable knowledge of how to use ICT. However, this may not be the case be- ‘ause most current teachers’ pre-service prepa- ration and subsequent in-service courses were designed by using traditional educational tech- nology and settings. Thus, the participants in these coursesare not familiar withthe processes, interaction patterns, features and possibilities of teaching learning processes based on ICT. This issue becomes complicated because the students’ thinking skills are often weak. Also. they typically lock information literacy skills although they were bor in or after 1982. In addition, they belong to the “Net Generation” Furthermore, they are accustomed to operating ina cigital en- vironment for communication, information gath- ering, and analysis. The problem is that students do not have to understand how their use of tech- nology affects their habits of learning, Effective development of pre-service teachers’ ICT proficiency does not seam to be a direct pro- ‘ess, but is the one asking fora careful, complex approach. Fist, a needs assessment is important to find out what ICT skills and knowledge teach- ets need at schools. Second, designers of teacher \G 209‘education programs should know the pre-service teachers perceptions of ICT and their attitudes to- ward ICTintegration into curriculum. Third, teacher ‘education programs need to consider the two typi- cal arguments that support the ICT use in schools.

In 2009, the number of people suf- fering from protein-calorie malnutrition exceed- ed 1 billion after reaching a low of around 830 million in the 1990s. Inpoor countries around the world, malnutri- tionunderiies roughly one-thirdof theentire bur- den of disease. And roughly 2to 3 billion people already suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Looking forward, farmers around the world will need to double agricultural production by 2050 in order to keep up with demand from a growing and more prosperous human popula- tion that prefer a more meat-based diet. This doubling of output will need to occur despite problems already found in agricultural produc- tivity. Water scarcity, as discussed above, is ama- jor constraint to increasing agricultural produc- tion, In addition, roughiy one-third of the Earth’s and surface suffers from land degradation from the combined effects of soil erosion, salinization, nutrient depletion, and desertification. Finally, the rise of the biofuels industry Is generating enormous demand for grain. By in- creasing grain demand and, as a consequence, demand for arable land and irrigation, growing grainsasbiofuels feedstock will be deemed more important than human food needs. Thus, grow- ing grains for biofuel needs an immediate ban- ning action ‘Amid rapidly rising demand for food, ine creasing environmental pressures on food pro- duction, and growing human malnutrition, cli-mate change additionally compromises both agricultural yields and the nutritional quality of the crops produced. Agricultural productivity is well known to be sensitive to changes in grow= ing_season temperatures, Observational, longi- tudinal, and modeling studi all confirm that a PC tise in temperature corresponds to roughly 10% reduction in yield of the major grains. AS temperature rise 2 ~ 6°C over the next century, ‘the reduction in agricultural yield will depend, in part, on our capacity to adapt and in part,on how ‘temperature variability changes: but, in general, yields are expected to drop.
