Issues in Science Teaching Zusammenfassung

Issues in Science Teaching John Sears

Issues in Science Teaching covers a wide range of important issues which will interest teachers at all phases in the education system. The issues discussed include:

  • the nature and purposes of science education in a multicultural society, including the idea of science for all
  • the role and purposes of investigational work in science education
  • assessment, curriculum progression and pupil attitudes to their science experience
  • supporting basic skills development in literacy, numeracy and ICT, through science teaching
  • supporting cross-curricular work through science teaching
  • taking account of individual differences including ability, special needs, learning style and the case for inclusion

The articles are strongly based on current research and are intended to stimulate and broaden debate among the readers. Written by practising science educators and teachers, this book offers new and interesting ways of developing science education at all levels.

Issues in Science Teaching Bewertungen

'... very thought provoking ...' - John Parkinson, School Science Review

'The range of issues covered make this book very suitable for science teachers at any stage of their career and in any phase. Teachers responsible for science teaching in their institution should buy a copy, and make sure that it is available for all science colleagues. Better still, use one of the chapters, and the discussion questions at the end of it, as the basis for a staff meeting.' - Patrick Fullick, Times Educational Supplement

'...this is a valuable book for readers looking for an introduction to current issues in science teaching.' - Keith Taber, Education in Chemistry
