V cry l?ew students really have any Clear idea of what science means. The teaching of science in
schools tends to obscure the meaning of science. When pupils at school work for passing an
exam in science, they regard it their main business to learn a large number of facts and a smaller
number of principles and theories. Now all this is good in its way. A scientist must have a certain
number of facts.) principles and theories at his ?nger tips. But science would cease to be science
it scientists merely worked from ?xed sets of facts and theories. The essence of science is the
gathering of new facts and the establishment of new theories. Science has advanced rapidly in
recent history because scientists have been greedy for new knowledge, and because they have
been so ready to disbelieve in text books of their youth. 11 is, therefore, most important to give
our young students of science an awareness of skepticism and Open?mindedness that is part Of
the ver) soul of science. Let them not think that any branch of science is a subject that one can
sit down and learn. Let them realize that science is essentially a creative activity.

them by discussion. test their response to what they have read, and to give them individual

him back to his books with a new awareness and a new interest. It should encourage him to think
for himself and give him practice in formulating and expressing opinions.
The usual form is that the students read original essays in turn and these are discussed, analyzed
and evaluated by the group as a whole under the guidance of the teacher. A further advantage of
the tutorial is that it enables the teacher to become intimately acquainted with her students. both
