Secondary Science - Contemporary Issues and Practical Approaches (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)

Science education has changed radically in recent years, both as a result of debates within the subject and because of curriculum legislation. Jerry Wellington discusses the major issues in science education today - such questions as the balance of content and process in the curriculum, the role of practical work and the nature of science as a subject. He uses this discussion to support a very practical resource for teachers in training and their mentors. The book covers every aspect of science teaching, including: planning; differentiation and special needs; assessment; practical work; problem-solving and investigations; IT in science; handling sensitive issues, such as sex education; and building on children's prior learning. Througout, Wellington's guidance is accompanied by suggestions for discussion, activities for individual and group use and annotated lists of further reading aimed at helping the reader to build up a personal apprach to the teaching of the subject. Students should also find useful the glossaries of specialist terminology at the end of each chapter, and the references to National Curriculum attainment targets at every point in the book.
