        %ACCOUNTABLE INTEGRATIVE SCIENCE PROFESSION 840927

     Teaching science is an art,  a craft,  a  profession.
Teaching  science is not a science.   Teaching science  is
not objective;  it is self-referential.   Teaching science
is  professing  a personal belief;  the belief that it  is
worth spending one's finite time,  energy,  creativity and
resources  in  the  ways which  scientists  spend  theirs.
Teaching science is bearing witness to what one  believes,
it  is  not  objective  behavior.    Teaching  science  is
declaring what value judgments you have made and affirming
judgments   and  decisions  based   upon   them.     Thus,
teaching  science is self-referential and so non-objective
behavior.

     To  be  an  effective science  teacher  one  must  be
enthusiastic.    To  be  enthusiastic one must  set  aside
doubts  about one's professions of belief in the value  of
scientists'   affirmations.     This  is  made  easier for
objective   scientists   by  believing      that     those
personal      affirmations      are   declarations      of
objective    truths.      Thus    the    most   successful
science    teachers   believe   that    their     personal
affirmations   are   in fact  objective  statements  which
should not be doubted,  and should not be examined.

     To encourage science professors to be responsible  in
their  priority-setting  decisions and  actions---we  must
take   the  steps  which  are  necessary  to   hold   them
accountable  in  ways  which  promote  both  personal  and
communal   integrity---by  promoting  the  integration  of
complementary    people,      ideas   and     communities.
Accountability     is   the    key    to   responsibility.
Integration is the key to integrity.
