Abstract
In August, 1978, a NEW sponsored National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report was issued entitled, Three Assessments of Science: Changes in Achievement 1969-77. The report indicated a 4.7 percent decrease in science achievement scores for 17 year-old high school students since 1969. During the same time period, 2.5 percent and 1.4 percent declines were reported for 13 and 9 year olds in science, respectively. Declines were observed to be greater in the physical than the biological sciences.
