PLEADING FOR AN INTEGRATED CURRICULUM
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2013, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Having as goal an optimum adaptation and reporting to the actual world in which we live, it is a clear direction in the actual education to “break” the traditional pattern of school disciplines (keeping in mind that the actual curriculum is still centered on disciplines) and to create several “bridges” between them, trying to observe effectively what is “beyond the disciplines”. In this respect, it was proposed the teachers’ training programme “PROFILES - Education through Sciences”, organized in the frame of the FP7 project “PROFILES - Professional Reflection Oriented Focus on Inquiry-based Learning and Education through Science”, which aims to the development of the professional-didactic competences of Science teachers (Chemistry, Physics and Biology), in strong relation to scientific investigation, valorization of pupils’ individual experiences, integrated approaches in the Science field and achievement of an educational demarché, in accordance with the constructivist paradigm principles. A modern education for and through Science, centered on competences, implies the promotion of an integrated curriculum that gathers Science fundamental scientific contents and abilities, practical skills, attitudes and values.

This article proposes four relationships of dynamic viscosity – shear rate dependence for mineral oil. The purpose of this study was to find a exponential dependence between temperature and dynamic viscosity of mineral o...
SOME CONSEQUENCES OF THE BROWDER’S THEOREM IN HILBERT SPACES
This work deals with the Browder’s theorem in Hilbert spaces. One can remark that the theorems of Riesz, Stampacchia, and Lax-Milgram are consequences of the Browder’s theorem. Moreover in a vector space with a scalar pr...

During the heating for rolling, ingots and billets are affected by the chemical action of the heating atmosphere. Between the heating environment elements and steel components there are taking place chemical reactions in...
GENERAL EXISTENCE FOR MINIMUM PROBLEMS IN BANACH SPACES
In this note we give some extensions of a recent result concerning the minimum problems in Banach spaces. These extensions are based on the fact that the topological degree of a coercive map is one and this still remains...
