Vol. II: Short-Term Programs features eight OST STEM programs for
females from across the United States that run oneto three days in
length, in most cases, a single day. In this book, the chapter
authors describe their programs, the effectiveness of those
programs, and practical implications of their program evaluation
data. This book series is the first of its kind to offer
researchers, educators, school administrators, policy makers, and
others detailed insight intothe promise and practice of
out-of-school-time STEM programs for females. Science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines play a pivotal role
in societal progress and economic prosperity, in addition to
enhancing individual lives. However, U.S. students lack strong STEM
performance in an international context. The pool of
STEM-proficient workers is thus insufficient to fuel the nation,
with females being one group that is noticeably absent.
Out-of-school-time (OST) programs, which are on the rise, are
increasingly suggested as a way to support andencourage
underrepresented groups in STEM. Participants in OST programs have
shown improved achievement, interest, and confidence in STEM, as
well as greater awareness of STEM role models and careers.
Book 8 of the Super Smart Science Series goes outdoors and explores
plants First, the parts of a plant and a microscopic view of the
plant cell with associated organelles. Then, an outline of the
process of photosynthesis, both the "ingredients" and products.
Finally, the vascular part of the plant, the xylem and phloem.
Reviews throughout the text reinforce the material learned while
candy colored illustrations engage readers of all ages

In this volume, Jan van Driel presents an overview of his research
on the professional knowledge that science teachers develop and
enact in their teaching to promote student understanding and
engagement in science. Using a selection of ten of his best
publications, van Driel explains his journey from a chemistry
teacher to an international leader in research in science
education. He highlights collaborative projects with colleagues and
students that have contributed to a better understanding of the
nature of science teachers' professional knowledge and how it
develops in the context of teacher education and reforms of science
education. He discusses the impact of this research on the
international research community, and on the practice and policy of
science education.

This volume of the World of Science Education gathers contributions
from Latin American science education researchers covering a
variety of topics that will be of interest to educators and
researchers all around the world. The volume provides an overview
of research in Latin America, and most of the chapters report
findings from studies seldom available for Anglophone readers. They
bring new perspectives, thus, to topics such as science teaching
and learning; discourse analysis and argumentation in science
education; history, philosophy and sociology of science in science
teaching; and science education in non-formal settings. As the
Latin American academic communities devoted to science education
have been thriving for the last four decades, the volume brings an
opportunity for researchers from other regions to get acquainted
with the developments of their educational research. This will
bring contributions to scholarly production in science education as
well as to teacher education and teaching proposals to be
implemented in the classroom.

In this book the editors consider the resistance to change among
teachers and learners despite all the evidence that science
participation brings benefits for both individuals and nations.
Beginning with biology, Stability and Change in Science Education:
Meeting Basic Learning Needs explores this balance in teaching and
learning science. The authors reflect upon this equilibrium as they
each present their work and its contribution. The book provides a
wide range of examples using the change/stability lens. Authors
from the Netherlands, Israel, Spain, Canada and the USA discuss how
they observe and consider both homeostasis and novelty in theory,
projects and other work. The book contains examples from science
educators in schools and in other science rich settings.
Contributors are: Lucy Avraamidou, Ayelet Baram-Tsabari, Michelle
Crowl, Marilynne Eichinger, Lars Guenther, Maria Heras, Phyllis
Katz, Joy Kubarek, Lucy R. McClain, Patricia Patrick, Wolff-Michael
Roth, Isabel Ruiz-Mallen, Lara Smetana, Hani Swirski, Heather
Toomey Zimmerman, and Bart Van de Laar.

This fascinating book gives readers an appreciation of how
biomedical research should work and how the reality is all too
often seriously flawed. Explaining the logical basis of the
different research approaches used by biomedical research
scientists and their relative merits, it will help readers to make
more realistic appraisal of media reports linking aspects of
lifestyle, environment or diet to health outcomes and thus judge
whether such claims are a real effect worthy of consideration for
behavior change or deserving of further research resources. Key
features: increases awareness of research fraud and some of the
characteristics of fraudulent science and scientific fraudsters
shows that whilst outright fraud may be uncommon, fudging of
results to help achieve statistical significance may be more
prevalent incorporates real-life case studies highlighting some of
the infamous cases of research fraud and major scientific mistakes
and the impact that they have had provides a convenient overview of
the research process in the biomedical sciences, with a focus on
research strategy rather than individual methods find supplemental
detail on the author's blog
https://drgeoffnutrition.wordpress.com/about/ By raising awareness
of the possibility that research data may have been dishonestly
generated and outlining some of the signs and symptoms that might
suggest data fabrication, Error and Fraud: The Dark Side of
Biomedical Research will help students and researchers to identify
the strengths and limitations of different research approaches and
allow them to make a realistic evaluations of their own and others'
research findings.
