This book highlights those aspects of Vygotskian theory which are
most cogent to Science Education, including the Zone of Proximal
Development (ZPD), concept development, play and imagination.
Whilst these and other Vygotskian constructs apply to both research
and practice in all forms of Science Education, this book employs a
specific and critical focus on one or two key concepts for each
context. Thus play and imagination are explored in depth in the
chapter on science in early childhood learning, the ZPD is
considered in depth in the primary school science chapter, and
concept development in the secondary-level chapter. Chapters on
higher education science learning and teaching, science teacher
education, informal science learning, science education research,
and the scientific endeavour itself draws on those aspects of
Vygotskian theory which relate most closely. This book makes an
important contribution to Vygotskian theory. Never before has it
been applied so widely and comprehensively to the field of science
and STEM education. The book is intended for students and academics
in science and STEM education and the social sciences. It is also
of interest to Vygotsky scholars and those involved in the analysis
of pedagogic practice within and beyond science and STEM education.
