Science for Girls: Successful Classroom Strategies looks at how
girls learn, beginning with the time they are born through both the
informal and formal education process. In the author's current role
as professor of science education, Dr. Goetz has surveyed hundreds
of female elementary education majors in their junior and senior
year of college. The results of her study show that the majority of
the future teachers do not feel confident teaching science at the
elementary level, feel ill prepared to teach science in general,
and have had negative experiences during their elementary, middle,
and high school years in science classes. Dr. Goetz raises the
question of whether or not there is a cycle of poor science
instruction during the early years delivered by poorly-prepared
teachers, who themselves had poor instruction from poorly-prepared
teachers. In order to break this cycle, it is necessary to better
prepare our future female teachers, who will then model excitement,
enthusiasm, and expertise in science instruction. Perhaps then
we'll begin to see our girls show increased interest and
achievement in the sciences. While the focus of Science for Girls
is on science education, information about current research in the
area of female learning styles in general is also presented.
Furthermore, the author is careful to point out that the strategies
suggested will not only benefit female students but also their male
counterparts. Containing current research, lesson plans, and
learning strategies and resources in science education, this book
will be of benefit for classroom teachers, parents, and most
importantly, the students they are teaching.
