We are unlikely to fare well in terms of really new ideals which challenge old ideals in a fundamental way. It is almost sure to be more comfortable for us if we do not help generate fundamentally new ideals. Science teaching has traditionally been dominated by the same ideals which dominate science research. The traditional training which is regarded as the basis for certification for a university professorship is the work leading to the Ph.D, --- pure research leading to the creation of new objective knowledge about objective realities. Persons as persons and their reflexive relationships are not the focus of such research. The required focus of training for college and university teaching does not involve dealing with persons as persons, or with the development of skills which are central to helping persons learn science with personal and communal integrity. The development of new ideals for science teachers must involve scientists in self-referential activities for which they have not been trained, and for which they have no comfortable role models. Scientists who have internalized the scientists' ideals of objectivity find they threaten those ideals they most value if they engage in self-referential activities. It makes little sense to them to suggest that they violate their own ideals of objectivity to engage in the development of non-objective ideals for the improvement of the teaching of a discipline which has objectivity as one of its highest ideals.
