Science Education Through Multiple Literacies explores how the use
of project-based learning in elementary science education fosters a
lifelong scientific mindset in students. The book provides
educators with the teaching practices to help students develop an
overall science literacy that aligns with Next Generation Science
Standards. Editors Joseph Krajcik and Barbara Schneider and the
book’s contributors offer a comprehensive overview of the
Multiple Literacies in Project-Based Learning (ML-PBL) approach to
science learning, which interweaves scientific ideas and practices,
language literacy, and mathematical thinking. ML-PBL supports the
teaching of science by paralleling what scientists do: it engages
students and their teachers in investigating real-world questions,
constructing models, and using evidence to evaluate claims. The
book presents compelling case studies of ML-PBL, how teachers use
them, and how the teachers’ enactment transforms the classroom
into an environment that builds and supports academic and student
SEL. Representing both urban and suburban schools, the case studies
include classroom observations, student and teacher interviews, and
student artifacts to illustrate how to make science relevant in
students’ lives. Krajcik and Schneider note that classroom
enactment of ML-PBL requires intentional instructional practices
and new ways of thinking about what it means to learn. Easing this
challenge, they equip elementary science teachers with curricular
resources including high-quality instructional materials,
professional-learning exercises, and formative assessments. Science
Education Through Multiple Literacies provides the necessary
elements to transform science teaching and learning so that
students learn the skills to navigate with confidence through our
complex world.
