Scientific Information Transfer: The Editor's Role: Proceedings of the First International Conference of Scientific Editors, April 24-29, 1977, Jerusa
ISBN: 9789027709172 / Angielski / Twarda / 686 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It was Faraday who in 1821 said that there are three necessary stages of useful research. The first to begin it, the second to- end it, and the third 1 to publish it. There has since indeed been so much research and publication that we have become increasingly alarmed by the galloping proliferation of scientific information produced in relation to the user's ability to retrieve and consume it effectively, conveniently and creatively. In 1948, to deal with this concern, the Royal Society Scientific Infor- 1 mation Conference held in London spanned the whole realm of scientific in- formation....

Weeding and Sowing: Preface to a Science of Mathematical Education
ISBN: 9789027710727 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A title that sounds like poetry, and a subtitle that seems to contradict the title But the subtitle is right, and originally it was just the title. A strange subtitle, isn t it? Preface to a Science of Mathematical Education. All sciences in their prenatal stage have known this kind of literature: only the term used was not Preface, but, for instance, Prolegomena, which * means the same though it sounds less provisional. In fact such works were thicker than the present one, by up to ten times. There is much more that can be said about a science before it comes into being than after; with the...

ISBN: 9781593119287 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern educators are currently ideologically in one of two camps: those who see American education as heading in the right direction, and those who fear that it has gone tragically astray. For over 100 years the American educational system has been the hope of those who want to level the playing field of opportunity, yet today we continue to lag behind several industrialized countries when comparing standardized science test scores. Is this acceptable in the most advanced, affluent country on earth? Why are we not the reigning educational system on the planet? And are standardized test scores...

Multiple Solution Methods for Teaching Science in the Classroom: Improving Quantitative Problem Solving Using Dimensional Analysis and Proportional Re
ISBN: 9781599429885 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the first time in science education, the subject of multiple solution methods is explored in book form. While a multiple method teaching approach is utilized extensively in math education, there are very few journal articles and no texts written on this topic in science. Teaching multiple methods to science students in order to solve quantitative word problems is important for two reasons. First it challenges the practice by teachers that one specific method should be used when solving problems. Secondly, it calls into question the belief that multiple methods would confuse students and...
