Abstract

Changes took place in the science curriculum during the 1960's; the "classical" approach was discarded for laboratory oriented courses. The courses were excellent for highly motivated students but little was developed for the slow or basic students. This author found that in trying to develop a course for basics, one must look at the students and develop a program around their needs. They need to teel important and that they are not failures. This writer also found the teacher to be of prime importance to the su.ccess of the program, strict discipline and lecturing will not work with the basic students. The teacher must be willing to remove failure from the classroom, make the material sufficiently elementary, arouse curiosity, and make the material appealing and relevant. A basic program must be based on a humanistic approach, if the children are to learn.
