As undergraduate courses in science are widely regarded as vocational training, they are evaluated by various groups as preparation for, inter alia, professional employment. However, the criteria for evaluation are usually not agreed because the groups describe the work of scientists in substantially different terms. In this paper, the perceptions held by several specific groups are outlined. The academics' perception is of up-to-date, sophisticated scientific principles; the perceptions of other experienced scientists are in terms of the use of knowledge and skills to solve problems, and the attitudes consistent with being an employed professional. Undergraduate curricula are largely determined by the academics' perception because no effective means has been found for academics to understand and accept the other perceptions. Acceptance of the other perceptions may lead to substantial changes in curricula. |
