Re/Constructing Elementary Science seeks to improve the way science
is taught in the elementary school. There are three main
contradictions that make it difficult for teachers and students to
engage in meaningful activities from which understandings result.
The central issues in this book are framed in terms of three
dichotomies that lead to tensions arising from the dialectic of
opposing aspects of teaching and learning. First, there is a
tension between learning as an individual process (cultural
production) and as a cultural process (cultural reproduction).
Second, there is a tension between science and technology (applied
science). Finally, there exists a tension between children's
interaction with nature and their language for describing and
explaining nature. Exemplary case studies are featured that show
the tremendous capabilities of elementary students to talk about
technology and, in the process, to learn to talk science. These
case studies are couched in an ongoing professional dialogue among
the authors and the requirements to make such exemplary science
happen in other classrooms.
