This volume presents current thoughts, research, and findings that
were presented at a summit focusing on energy as a cross-cutting
concept in education, involving scientists, science education
researchers and science educators from across the world. The
chapters cover four key questions: what should students know about
energy, what can we learn from research on teaching and learning
about energy, what are the challenges we are currently facing in
teaching students this knowledge, and what needs be done to meet
these challenges in the future? Energy is one of the most important
ideas in all of science and it is useful for predicting and
explaining phenomena within every scientific discipline. The
challenge for teachers is to respond to recent policies requiring
them to teach not only about energy as a disciplinary idea but also
about energy as an analytical framework that cuts across
disciplines. Teaching energy as a crosscutting concept can equip a
new generation of scientists and engineers to think about the
latest cross-disciplinary problems, and it requires a new approach
to the idea of energy. This book examines the latest challenges of
K-12 teaching about energy, including how a comprehensive
understanding of energy can be developed. The authors present
innovative strategies for learning and teaching about energy,
revealing overlapping and diverging views from scientists and
science educators. The reader will discover investigations into the
learning progression of energy, how understanding of energy can be
examined, and proposals for future directions for work in this
arena. Science teachers and educators, science education
researchers and scientists themselves will all find the discussions
and research presented in this book engaging and informative.
