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.

进化论革命尚未成功，生物老师仍需努力 如今生物不及格的高中生可以得到一丝安慰了，因为据悉他们的生物老师在教学上也不及格。1月28日出版的《科学》杂志上，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的迈克尔?博克曼和埃里克?普拉茨教授发表了评论文章，在调查了900多名美国高中老师如何讲授进化论后得出以上结论。 令人震惊的是，他们发现仅有28%的老师深入讲述了进化论，而13%的老师竟鼓吹神创论。其余约60%的老师要么在进化论与神创论间周旋，要么两者都讲授，让学生自己去选择以得出结论。（看起来真是不错啊……） 此调查的深刻主旨在于，老师的教学方式更多地是取决于他们的个人信仰，而不是社会的课程标准，而课程标准往往是法庭交战的中心问题，如五年前的奇兹米勒对多佛学区案。 博克曼和普拉茨教授建议所有生物老师参加一个关于进化论的培训课程。 这一工作之余的培训可以帮助那些胆小的老师树立信心，去讲授已成为人类科学基石150多年的进化论。
