This is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of
teaching minds-on practical work in secondary science. Practical
work is an essential feature of science education. Questions have
however been raised by some science educators about its
effectiveness as a teaching and learning strategy. This book
considers the effectiveness of practical work and suggests that, as
currently practised, it is essentially a 'hands-on', rather than
'minds-on' activity. Whilst such an approach is generally effective
in getting pupils to do things with objects and materials, it is
relatively ineffective in developing their conceptual understanding
of the associated scientific ideas and concepts. Ian Abrahams
wishes to redress this and provides guidance to all aspiring and
experienced secondary science professionals for making practical
work - in biology, chemistry and physics - a 'minds-on' as well as
a hands-on experience for their students. It will be of value to
those on M-level secondary science PGCE programmes, as well as
those undertaking postgraduate level research.
