This book reviews the current state of theoretical accounts of the
what and how of science learning in schools. The book starts out by
presenting big-picture perspectives on key issues. In these first
chapters, it focuses on the range of resources students need to
acquire and refine to become successful learners. It examines
meaningful learner purposes and processes for doing science, and
structural supports to optimize cognitive engagement and success.
Subsequent chapters address how particular purposes, resources and
experiences can be conceptualized as the basis to understand
current practices. They also show how future learning opportunities
should be designed, lived and reviewed to promote student
engagement/learning. Specific topics include insights from
neuro-imaging, actor-network theory, the role of reasoning in
claim-making for learning in science, and development of
disciplinary literacies, including writing and multi-modal
meaning-making. All together the book offers leads to science
educators on theoretical perspectives that have yielded valuable
insights into science learning. In addition, it proposes new
agendas to guide future practices and research in this subject.
