| Summary |
"Issues in Science Teaching covers a range of issues which will interest teachers at all phases in the education system. How should science education progress? What are the needs of the next generation of prospective scientists? How can we develop and support a scientifically literate society?" "The issues discussed include: the nature and purposes of science education in a multicultural society; the role and purposes of investigational work in science education; assessment, curriculum progression and pupil attitudes to their science experience; supporting basic skills development in literacy, numeracy and ICT through science teaching; supporting cross-curricular work through science teaching; and taking account of individual differences, including ability, special needs, learning style and the case for inclusion." "The chapters are strongly based on current research and are intended to stimulate and broaden debate among student teachers, newly qualified teachers, science coordinators, classroom teachers, aspiring or practising heads of science and teacher educators."--BOOK JACKET |
