'The structure [of this book] encourages active participation via
reflective activity boxes which further allows for the engagement
and consolidation of ideas...Evidence based research is cited
resulting in the author suggesting a number of practical activities
to encourage progression and continuity in science' - ESCalate Why
do pupils' learning and motivation slow down markedly as they move
from primary to secondary school? Why is this situation worse in
science than in any other curriculum subject? This book combines
reports of and reflection on best practice in improving progression
and continuity of teaching and learning in science - particularly
at that transition stage between primary and secondary school.
Presenting the views of teachers and pupils on progression,
learning and application of science, the book suggests practical
ways of improving teaching and learning in science. Each chapter
includes examples of learning materials with notes on how these
might be used or adapted by teachers in their own classroom
settings. Science teaching in secondary schools is often based on
assumptions that children know or can do very little, so the job in
the secondary school becomes one of showing pupils how to start
'doing science properly', as if from scratch. The damage that this
false view can do to pupils' learning, motivation and confidence is
clear. This book will help teachers to assess children's prior
knowledge effectively and build meaningful and enjoyable science
lessons.
