High school students ______1_____ biology might take some consolation in knowing that most of their teachers would be, too.So suggests a commentary in the January 28th issue of the journal Science by Michael B.Berkman and Eric Plutzer of Pennsylvania State University, who surveyed more than 900 U.S. high school teachers about how they taught evolution.
Shockingly, they found that only 28 percent of teachers taught evolution effectively, and 13 percent actually ______2_____ creationism.The roughly 60 percent in the mushy middle ______3_____ conflicts between evolution and creationism or taught both and let students draw their own conclusions.(Always such a good idea….)
The survey’s crucial insight was that how teachers taught depended far more on their personal beliefs than on the community ______4_____ standards that have been the focus of battleground court cases, such as Kitzmiller v. Dover from five years ago.
Berkman and Plutzer recommend requiring all biology teachers to take a prep course in evolution as part of their training: A little extra homework might help _____5______ teachers feel more confident about an idea that’s been a cornerstone of science for more than 150 years.

進化論革命尚未成功，生物老師仍需努力 如今生物不及格的高中生可以得到一絲安慰了，因為據悉他們的生物老師在教學上也不及格。1月28日出版的《科學》雜志上，賓夕法尼亞州立大學的邁克爾?博克曼和埃里克?普拉茨教授發(fā)表了評論文章，在調查了900多名美國高中老師如何講授進化論后得出以上結論。 令人震驚的是，他們發(fā)現僅有28%的老師深入講述了進化論，而13%的老師竟鼓吹神創(chuàng)論。其余約60%的老師要么在進化論與神創(chuàng)論間周旋，要么兩者都講授，讓學生自己去選擇以得出結論。（看起來真是不錯啊……） 此調查的深刻主旨在于，老師的教學方式更多地是取決于他們的個人信仰，而不是社會的課程標準，而課程標準往往是法庭交戰(zhàn)的中心問題，如五年前的奇茲米勒對多佛學區(qū)案。 博克曼和普拉茨教授建議所有生物老師參加一個關于進化論的培訓課程。 這一工作之余的培訓可以幫助那些膽小的老師樹立信心，去講授已成為人類科學基石150多年的進化論。
