Secondary school enrollment Students

Emil Hermann Fischer, born October 9, 1852, in Euskirchen, Germany, received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1902 for his elucidations of the structure of sugars and the synthesis of purines. His father, a very successful lumber merchant, intended Emil to join the family business upon completion of his secondary school education. Young Fischer showed exceptional abilities as a student in the natural sciences, particularly in physics. In 1859 he dutifully entered his father s business, but showed little aptitude for commerce. In frustration his father enrolled him at the University of Bonn in 1871 to study chemistry, which at least had practical applications. 

We recently sought to determine if the sex difference in odor identification ability observed in American Blacks and Whites (Doty et al., 1984a, b Figure 1) was also present in American Koreans and Native Japanese subjects. In this research, the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (a 40-item standardized forced-choice test with microencapsulated odors) was administered to 438 Black Americans, 1559 White Americans, 106 Korean Americans, and 308 Native Japanese. The Black and White Americans were comprised mainly of university employees and students, participants in regional health fairs, primary and secondary school students, and youngsters enrolled at summer camps and day care centers. The Korean Americans were part of a Sunday school population at a local Korean church, whereas the Japanese subjects were members of the staff and faculty of a hospital in a medium-sized Japanese metropolitan city (Kawasaki-shi). 

A fundamental question arising from the apparent tension between equity and excellence is how can a school become equitable for diverse groups of learners (that is, inclusive because they accommodate difference) as well as be excellent for all (that is, demonstrate achievement gains for all children and young people) Our earlier research on inclusive practice in secondary schools (Florian and Rouse, 2001) has led to a conceptualisation of inclusive schools as those that meet the dual criteria of enrolling a diverse student population and of constantly...

Physics has steadily lost its appeal with successive generations of high school students, and biology has gained in popularity. An explicit-invented indicator of the importance of chemistry within the context of secondary science education may be constructed by comparing enrollment in chemistry with that in the most popular science subject at any time (Figure...
