Opis

This book takes what expert science teachers do, distils it down into clear steps and bottles it up with supporting research so that other teachers can implement these techniques back in their classroom from a point of understanding.

Recenzje

"Jasper Green's book offers an antidote to the lack of vision which frames so many science curricula. Here you will find a fresh and innovative exploration of what it means to teach science. Drawing on much of the latest and best research and scholarship in education, it shows how these ideas can improve both the quality of student experience and their engagement with learning. The book reveals the nature of the complex challenge that it is to teach science. As such it should be essential reading for all teachers of science". - Jonathan Osborne, Kamalachari Professor of Science Education, Emeritus, Stanford University, US.

"This is a beautifully structured book which explains some of the big ideas of science together with the best pedagogical strategies for teaching them. It is rich with examples, activities and practical applications of difficult concepts. And it is all about the challenge and the joy of making meaning, and how all our activities and tasks must work towards that goal." - Daisy Christodoulou MBE, Director of Education, No More Marking, UK.
