Scientific paper

For the last few decades science education researchers have focused on developing curricular materials and strategies for use at the college level. This strong emphasis on curriculum appears to be based on the implicit assumption that once these materials and strategies become available they will be put into widespread use. We argue that curriculum is only one aspect of educational change. In this talk we describe three aspects of educational change curriculum, teachers, and structures and argue that all three are necessary in order for widespread and lasting change to occur. Examples from our research will be used to illustrate the necessity of expanding the emphasis beyond curriculum. We will also discuss recent efforts by others to move in this direction.
