Yves Chauvin (Fig. 8.5) was born on the 10th of October 1930 in Menin in Western Flanders near to the border between Belgium and France. His father was an electrical engineer and both of his parents were French. He went first to the pre-school in Flanders and then to the primary school in France, which meant that he had to cross the border every day. He continued his higher education in various places but was - as he confessed in his autobiography - not a very brilliant student, even at chemistry school [257].

In 1954, he received a...

In Delhi Directorate of Education, Siddiqis conducted research studies on cognitive development of primary school children, during 1975-77 on 1206 Delhi Primary school children. It was found that majority of primary school children (95.6 per cent) is either pre-operational or concrete operational, and a very small percentage (4.4 per cent) is at formal operational stage. Similar results could also be obtained in other parts of the country. This shows that working with concrete objects or doing experiments is a very important part of primary science education. 

The following recommendations are based on these studies for the purpose of providing guidelines to teachers who teach science to primary school children and to science educators who develop instructional material—textbooks, teachers guides, audiovisual aids etc., and design teaching techniques ...

Our environment is full of real and concrete objects, which the children can use to learn... 

After the controversial act of 1857, public primary schools first retained their general Christian character, but after more private schools had been founded, public schools grew much more neutral. In private schools religious education was obviously tied to the school s specific denomination (cf Idenburg 1960, pp. 82-119).
