Does anyone have any ideas for a good college for someone planning to teach in Science?

We Answered:

Well, at 16, I'm sure you have something to offer someone as a teacher's aid or give a short session to some kid's clubs, like cub scouts and girl scouts.

However, you are really seeking something cool and great. You should be encouraged.

If you want to learn to teach science then definitely start looking now. You are at the right age to really start looking.

Arkansas is not a huge state. University of Arkansas is located in Fayetteville which is in the northwest corner of the state. You'll get a great education there and it will be affordable. Go for the BS degree in general science and then take some extra courses for the teaching credential. it's worth the extra semester. You'll be insured a good job at the junior high level with that amount of education.

If you want to teach at the high school or college level, then you should get a Masters in some sort of science. Don't worry about WHAT to specifically study now. You'll know when the time comes.

Your sense of wonder comes through as well as your desire to share it.

That's really terrific. Keep up the efforts.

Want to teach science on jr. college level. Where do i start?

We Answered:

If you want to teach at a high school, you'll need an education certificate. Many State universities offer post-graduate teaching certificates, and these are 1 year programs. If you want to teach at a jr. college or community college, you'll want to earn a Master's degree in Biology. (2 years)
I assume you don't have a Bachelor's in Biology Teaching, as you'd of probably said BSEd., instead of BS.

Difference between computer science applied and computer science non teaching?

We Answered:

That's a very fine question, one you should ask the counselor for exact details. Also, check with the school catalog for a full description of the two courses. My instincts tell me that applied science is hands on understanding of computer technology, but non teaching is odd and new to me. If it is not a Teacher's College, I am not sure why the school would use this as a form of study. If I knew what University you wanted to apply to, I could research further with that angle, otherwise, compare the two in the catalog and ask the counselor for details. Good luck.

Did you have any Asians teaching Science?

We Answered:

Yes,I had a Asian Science teacher. I guess it was ok. Sometimes I had a problem understanding her,but it was very rarely (Sometimes she had a difficult accent). But she was a nice teacher.

If you want to be a Science teacher,than I think you should go for it. There are so many teachers from different regions,with different cultures.

Where do you go to find articles on political science college courses for use in class?

We Answered:

There are a lot of online databases with articles in various social sciences including political science and its subfields.

Among them are JSTOR, EBSCO/ Academic Search Premier, and Lexis Nexis Academic. They generally have full-text of published articles and they may vary in what particular journals they carry and what years they generally have available. For instance, JSTOR usually has a database that goes back further, but has a moving wall that does not include the most recent year(s) for any particular title. Lexis may have the most recent years, but for a smaller range of titles, etc.

You can purchase access to these searchable databases (which is very costly), but your school may have access to some of them--many institutions purchase access, but may not always include every title carried by the database. You should inquire with your school about what electronic resources are available.

Also, if there are particular journals that you are interested in using, you can go to their websites--some offer free full texts of certain articles or dates. You can also purchase access to a particular journal. Frequently full-text access to its online publications will come along with a subscription to the journal itself, so if you are interested in a particular journal you may be able to get access that way.

Also, if you know of particular works that you would like to use, you can try searching for them independently. Often professors will include a pdf version of their publications on their university websites, so that is one way to find pdf versions of articles for free.

Lastly, Google Scholar is another research tool that may help you locate particular articles that you may find relevant or of interest, but they typically do not include full-text so you will have to then track down the articles yourself through other sources. I don't find google scholar particularly useful in comparison to other searchable sites like JSTOR or Academic Search Premier, but if you don't have access to those google scholar might be a good place to start.

Also, in terms of creating your own syllabus/reader you may want to try searching for syllabi from professors at other universities. Many are posted online, so you can get them that way and use their syllabi (and experience) as a jumping off point for you. Also, you could try asking your own professors from your undergrad or grad program for their syllabi if you are looking for more ideas of where/how to get started.

Good luck!
