Over the past four decades Science Education has emerged as a distinct field of research. This remarkable achievement is due to contributions by hundreds of science education researchers around the world. Today, we are in a position to apply a knowledge base that we can claim to be our own to inform science teaching and learning.
This book is a collection of case studies of select living science educators who have made significant contributions to the field of science education. It is a celebration of the science education field through the achievements of these individuals. This book...

Essentials of Science Classroom Assessment is a supplementary text for a science methods course or a core textbook for courses in science assessment. Grounded in the constructivist inquiry approach to science teaching and learning, the text will bridges science assessment research and practice, and connects explicitly science assessment and learning. This book will help students in science methods courses to develop essential skills in conducting science assessment to support student learning. The chapters parallel a typical structure of a science methods course, making the integration of...

For many people, a high standard for student learning is desirable. This is what underlies current standard-based science education reforms around the world. As someone who was born and brought up in a less-privileged home and educated in a resource-limited school environment in a developing country, I always had to study hard to meet various standards from elementary to high school to univ- sity. My first book in English published over 10 years ago (Liu, X. 1996]. Mathematics and Science Curriculum Change in the People's Republic of China. Lewiston, NY: The Edwin Mellen Press) provided me...
