Science Education at the NIH Bruce A. Fuchs, Ph.D., Director National Institutes of Health Office of Science Education

Science Education at NIH Why is the NIH investing in time and money in K-12 science education programs? NSF spending on health and medicine The Scientist Shortage International Student Comparisons TIMSS PISA Economic Arguments

Why?– NSF Mandate NSF is not supposed to spend its money on projects related to health or medicine

Why?–The Scientist Shortage

Is There Really a Shortage? RAND Report: Will the Scientific & Technical Workforce Meet the Requirements of the Federal Government? Chronicle of Higher Education: Is There a Science Crisis? Maybe Not

Why?– International Student Comparisons TIMSS-2003 Data to be released in December 2004 PISA- OECD “Program for International Student Assessment” PISA 2000-Reading PISA Math (Date released in December 2004) PISA Science

TIMSS: Science Scores 4th Grade8th Grade12th Grade

TIMSS: Math Scores 4th Grade8th Grade12th Grade

Why?– Economic Arguments Teaching the New Basic Skills Richard J. Murnane and Frank Levy Skills need for a Middle Class Job Read at a 9th grade level Math at a 9th grade level Solve problems where hypotheses required Ability to work in groups with diverse people Ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing Ability to use personal computers for basic tasks 50% (or more) of students will not get these skills

Why?– Economic Arguments “It is obviously just a matter of time before the bulk of our workforce will require a much higher level of problem-solving skills than is currently evident. And while we have been fortunate to attract so many skilled young people to our shores, we must nonetheless strive to increase math and science achievement so that our students can take advantage of the considerable opportunities that will exist in tomorrow’s labor market. In that way, we can realize the potential of technological change for bringing substantial and lasting benefits to our economy.” Alan Greenspan, Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, September 21, 2000.
