Science -- and the technology derived from it -- is having a
dramatic impact on the quality of our personal lives and the
environment around us. Science will have an even greater impact on
the lives of our students. The lives of scientifically literate
students will be enriched by their understanding, appreciation, and
enjoyment of the natural world. To prosper in the near future, all
students must become scientifically literate and embrace the notion
of life-long learning in science. Without scientific literacy, it
will become impossible for students to make informed decisions
about the interrelated educational, scientific, and social issues
that will confront them in the future.
Intended for science teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and
administrators, this volume is concerned with the innovative
research that is reforming how science is learned in schools. The
chapters provide overviews of current research and illustrate how
the findings of this research are being applied in schools. This
research-based knowledge is essential for effective science
instruction. The contributors are leading authorities in science
education and their chapters draw clear connections among research,
theory, and classroom practice. They provide excellent examples
from science classes in which their research has reformed practice.
This book will help educators develop the scientific literacy of
students. It bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and
classroom practice to provide educators with the knowledge they
need to foster students' scientific literacy.
Focusing on the teaching and learning of science concepts at the
elementary and high school levels, this volume bridges the gap
between state-of-the-art research and classroom practice in science
education. The contributors -- science educators, cognitive
scientists, and psychologists -- draw clear connections between
theory, research, and instructional application, with the ultimate
goal of improving science teachers' effectiveness in the classroom.
Toward this end, explicit models, illustrations, and examples drawn
from actual science classes are included.
