SCIENCE AND EDUCATION
The role and goal of Science in Education should always be the
same. Since science is considered both knowledge and method,
operating independent of time and place, the benefits of science
anywhere can only be the same. Science cultivates the needed
habits and skills of observation, experimentation. analysis,
classification, and generalization in students. The scientific
method develops a person's attitudes of accuracy, objectivity,
clear thinking, logical reasoning, and the willingness to accept
facts. Science is considered as a a body of knowledge and also
taken as methodology. The generally accepted but irresponsible
difference between education and science is misleading. Science
can be considered education although it is not the whole of
education, it is one of the various materials with which the
education works.
