description The goals of both science & nonscience majors in taking college science courses are examined to determine the most effective approach in devloping specific courses for each group. With scientific literacy as its goal, an issues-directed approach is suggested, based on John Dewey's philosophy (Democracy and Education, New York: Macmillan, 1916) that effective learning is more likely to occur when the material has a connection to a goal or activity valued by the student. Using chemistry & biology courses to illustrate, the issues-directed approach to science education & its impact on nonmajors are described, drawing on teaching experience & postcourse survey data from students. 12 References.
