This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The field of science education has been developing for over half a century and has flourished especially during the previous few decades. It is timely and fitting now that the International Handbook of Science Education should be assembled to synthesise and reconceptualise past research and theorising in science education, provide practical implications for improving science education, and suggest desir able ways to advance the field in the future. This Handbook provides a detailed and up-to-date overview of advanced international scholarship in science education. This two-volume, 72-chapter, 1,200+-page work is the largest and most comprehensive resource ever produced in science education for use by researchers, teacher educators, policy-makers, advis ers, teachers and graduate students. In structuring the Handbook, we divided the field of science education into the following ten significant areas: ¿ Learning ¿ Teaching ¿ Educational Technology ¿ Curriculum ¿ Learning Environments ¿ Teacher Education ¿ Assessment and Evaluation ¿ Equity ¿ History and Philosophy of Science ¿ Research Methods To each section, we appointed a 'section coordinator', who is a leading international scholar in that particular area and who assisted us in identifying authors and top ics for a section and in evaluating drafts of chapters and suggesting improve ments. 1308 pp. Englisch.

The International Handbook of Science Education is a two volume edition consisting of 77 chapters arranged into 10 sections pertaining to the most significant issues in science education. Current research and thinking and associated implications for practice are presented for learning, teaching, learning environments, teacher education, curriculum, educational technology, research methods, assessments and evaluation, equity, and history and philosophy of science. Each section contains a lead chapter that provides an overview and synthesis of the field and 5-8 related chapters that provide a narrower focus on research and current thinking on the key issues in that field. Leading researchers from around the world have participated as authors and consultants to produce a resource that is comprehensive, detailed and up to date. The chapters provide the most recent and advanced thinking in science education from international leaders in the field. The Handbook is the most authoritative resource yet produced in science education.
