Item CXC Integrated Science: An appraisal(Mar. 1981) Reay, Judith F.;This article describes what is meant by Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) integrated science, considers its positive and negative aspects, and examines alternativesItem Evaluation of Caribbean Integrated Science ProjectsReay, Judith F.;This paper presents a case study on curriculum evaluation for science education in the Caribbean area. It describes five projects for an integrated curriculum for science as part of the lower secondary school curriculum. It also examines regional cooperation related to curriculum development and educational innovation in the areaItem Influences on science education in the Caribbean(International Council of Associations for Science Education, Jul. 1992) King, Winston K.; Reay, Judith F.Drawing on illustrations from the Eastern Caribbean, this paper identifies the sources of trends in science education in the region. These trends include societal goals such as science education for national development, scientific literacy, and the quality of life. There is mention of the integration of science, out-of-school science, environmental education, and energy education. Some problems are identifiedItem Integrated science and teacher education(UNESCO/UWI, 1974) ; Reay, Judith F.Item Resources for science teaching: Report of a survey in the Commonwealth Caribbean(Commonwealth Secretariat, 1982) Reay, Judith F.;This report discusses resources for school science education in Commonwealth Caribbean countries including Belize and Guyana. Included are: prototypes, models, experimental designs, and mass production of equipment; improvisations; improvements on commercial equipment; science rooms; audio-visual and printed resources; centres and information sources; and servicing of equipmentItem Strategies for the implementation of innovation in secondary science education in the Caribbean(International Council of Associations for Science Education, 1979) Reay, Judith F.; Lancaster, Colin M.The responses of 15 science educators from four Caribbean countries to a two-part questionnaire inform this discussion of the function and value of teachers in curriculum development. The extent to which science teachers are influenced by curricula and the effectiveness of science teacher education are the concerns of a pilot teacher's questionnaire, which is also discussedItem Summative evaluation of Caribbean integrated science projects(UNESCO, 1977) Reay, Judith F.; Cohen, DavidThis article describes the combined evaluation of two concurrent curriculum development projects--the Mona Project of the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica and the CEDO/UWI Caribbean Regional Science Project based at UWI, Barbados. The major strategy for summative evaluation was based on an educational experiment and upon achievement tests. There is little evidence that the data were used by decision makers and it is suggested that, in the end, decisions are taken on the basis of availability of published materials and individual appraisal of theseItem The development of science education at the primary level in the Eastern Caribbean(International Council of Associations for Science Education, Jul. 1992) King, Winston K.; Reay, Judith F.Two approaches to primary science curriculum development in the Eastern Caribbean are outlined--one being internal to each country and the other arising from the regional Primary Education Project. Stress is placed on the cooperative efforts of educators in the countries and in the region, including The University of the West Indies (UWI) and science teachers' associations. Evaluations and constraints are mentioned, and the paper identifies a need for enhanced teacher training, communication, and in-school facilities. Attention also needs to be paid to the status of science in schools and research on how children learnItem The management of school laboratories in Trinidad and Tobago: Report of a workshop at Pleasantville Senior Comprehensive School, 9th February 1979(School of Education, UWI, 1979) Reay, Judith F.;This is the report of a workshop that was held to lay the foundation for a job description for technical staff and for a course in laboratory management. Participants at the workshop were invited to help develop an outline for training coursesItem The Pilot Project to Assist the Teaching of Science in Jamaica: Annual Report, January 1971 - December 1971(Science Centre, UWI, 1972) Reay, Judith F.;This report reviews the activities of the project in the areas of focus--curriculum development and advisory service. Details of the evaluation of the first year of use of the WISCIP and Mona Project materials in the lower secondary grades are presented. Overall results based on test performance of 2,283 subjects from experimental and control groups suggest, among other things, that the Mona approach is better for non-selected pupils and is suitable for allItem The relevance of science and technology for the West Indies(ASE, 1979) Reay, Judith F.;Item The training of teachers and technicians for practical work in school science in Trinidad and Tobago(UNESCO, 1983) Reay, Judith F.; Lowe, Norman K.This paper outlines the background to, and status of, science education at the tertiary, secondary, and primary levels in Trinidad and Tobago. Among old problems for teacher training to resolve are: the lack of understanding by teachers of the discipline they teach, poor knowledge and attitudes about new equipment and approaches, and unwillingness of teachers to consult sources of ideas. It describes attempts to reorient teachers towards the solution of the problems. Recent government decisions providing an expansion in opportunities for improving teaching practices are reviewedItem Towards the implementation of integrated science at the secondary level(UNESCO, 1979) Lambert, E. N.; Reay, Judith F.The failure of curriculum projects to make significant impact on the life and learning of young people has been attributed to the gap between curriculum developers' ideas and the reality of what happens in school. This gap can be reduced if development of materials, dissemination, and implementation are planned from the start and occur concurrently. Advertising and marketing strategies for implementation and hindrances to successful implementation are discussed. The latter relate to insufficient resources, public examinations, insufficient preparation of teachers, and the sociocultural contextItem Trinidad and Tobago: System of education(Pergamon, 1985) Reay, Judith F.; Husen, Torsten
