What Are Science & Math Test Scores Really Telling U.S.? -- part 3
This is one of series of clips from an article in THE BENT of TAU BETA PI -- Winter 2007 Clip 3 The vast majority of these students will never become scientists, mathematicians, or engineers, so why does it matter? Because todays students will be looking for jobs in an increasingly technology-oriented service economy where manufacturing and other traditional jobs are vanishing. They will need math to estimate projects and to interpret graphic information. They will vote on policies, stem-cell research, nuclear power, global warming, and teaching evolutionthat hinge on an understanding of science. TIMSS and PISA let us understand whether or not we have prepared them well for the future.
