Description:
In this volume distinguished specialists in various aspects of science education review research that has implications for the teaching of science. They make practical and explicit recommendations applicable to teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Sponsored by the International Academy of Education, the book is exceptional in that the contributing authors and the consultants who have reviewed the chapters come from many parts of the world, including Africa and Asia. This broad participation in the project reflects the worldwide interest in and concern for the improvement of science teaching. Each chapter focuses on a topic of central importance to teachers of science - the place of science in a changing world, science curricula, learners' conceptions of scientific phenomena, instructional strategies in science classes, assessment of students and of teachers, the influence of learning environments on students' achievement, the use of computers, gender equity. The volume concludes with a chapter on cross-national comparisons of outcomes in science education.
