Inhaltsangabe:

"The book has wide appeal in that the issues investigated - for example, the nature of science, practical work, the role of language, of technology and formative and summative assessment - are relevant and pertinent to science teachers' work in all school systems."
Professor David F Treagust, Curtin University of Technology, Australia
This new edition of Good Practice in Science Teaching offers a comprehensive overview of the major areas of research and scholarship in science education.
Each chapter summarizes the research work and evidence in the field, and discusses its significance, reliability and implications for the practice of science teaching.
Thoroughly revised throughout, the new edition includes:

Three new chapters covering: the learning of science in informal contexts; teacher professional development; and technology-mediated learning
Updates to every chapter, reflecting the changes and developments in science education
Further reading sections at the end of each chapter Each chapter has been written by science education researchers with national or international reputations. Each topic is approached in a straight-forward manner and is written in a concise and readable style.
