Dr. Olcbee Lee SchoolofEducation, UniversityofMiami Coral Gables,
Florida 33124 I remember my excitement and appreciation several
years ago when I first read World View Theory and Science Education
Research by Bill Cobern (1991). It was a comprehensive, theoretical
discussion ofworldview theory in science education. I am delighted
to see that Cobern has taken the next step to provide empirical
accountsofworldview in Everyday Thoughts about Nature. . The
primary goal of the book is to understand how typical- ninth grade
students and their science teachers think about Nature or the
natural world, and how their thoughts are related to science. In
pursuing this goal, the book raises a basicquestion about the
purpose ofscienceeducationfor the public: Should science education
seek to educate "scientific thinkers" in the pattern of the science
teachers? Or, should science education seek to foster sound science
learning within the matrices ofvari- ous cultural perspectives? (p.
3) The answer to this question becomes clear, thanks to Cobern's
excellent research and persuasivearguments. First, this research
takes a humanistic approach in understanding what students and
teachers think about Nature "through the language and ideas
voluntarily expressed" (p. I). The research used multi- directional
prompts and encouraged students and teachers to speak freely and at
length in any directions they wished. This humanistic approach is
stated clearly: "[T]he research seeks to illuminate some of the
various ways in which students think aboutNature withoutjudging
eventhe most unorthodox perspectives" (p. 14).

This book presents research in Geoscience Education focusing on
indoor and outdoor environments in which teaching geoscience gains
particular relevance, significance and contextualization. The
research areas that are presented throughout the thirteen chapters
cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from educational resources
and fieldwork to science models. Chapters discuss specific
geoscience topics such as earthquakes, rocks, fossils and minerals.
Other chapters present a more interdisciplinary approach addressing
topics that aren't usually examined, such as geomedicine and
geoethics, with a specific focus on sustainable development and
their alignment with the school curricula. Throughout the book
readers can find research-based arguments illustrated with
practical examples, which will help them to innovate in their
curriculum development area, classroom practices and pre and
in-service teachers' education. The book challenges readers to
improve Geoscience Education by changing the ways of teaching, by
enabling students to exploit their natural curiosity, and by
spurring a learning process that should not be confined to the
classroom but rather maintained throughout life.
