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.
Physics Teaching and Learning: Challenging the Paradigm, RISE
Volume 8, focuses on research contributions challenging the basic
assumptions, ways of thinking, and practices commonly accepted in
physics education. Teaching physics involves multifaceted,
research-based, value added strategies designed to improve academic
engagement and depth of learning. In this volume, researchers,
teaching and curriculum reformers, and reform implementers discuss
a range of important issues. The volume should be considered as a
first step in thinking through what physics teaching and physics
learning might address in teacher preparation programs, in-service
professional development programs, and in classrooms. To facilitate
thinking about research-based physics teaching and learning each
chapter in the volume was organized around five common elements: 1.
A significant review of research in the issue or problem area. 2.
Themes addressed are relevant for the teaching and learning of K-16
science 3. Discussion of original research by the author(s)
addressing the major theme of the chapter. 4. Bridge gaps between
theory and practice and/or research and practice. 5. Concerns and
needs are addressed of school/community context stakeholders
including students, teachers, parents, administrators, and
community members.
