Abstract
There is no doubt that the National Science Education Standards and state standards derived from them are playing an important role in improving science education and will continue to do so for many years. However, national and state standards can produce the exact opposite of what was intended by those who framed them and have encouraged their use.

Michael J. SangerJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (2), 297How Does Inquiry-Based Instruction Affect Teaching Majors' Views about Teaching and Learning Science?
Michael J. SangerJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (2), 297A previous study showed that elementary teaching majors enrolled in an inquiry-based physical science course developed chemistry content knowledge comparable to that of students enrolled in traditional lecture-based courses. This current study compares ...
