Teaching Science Creatively

Primary Religious Education – A New Approach Conceptual Enquiry in Primary RE Clive Erricker, Judith Lowndes and Elaine Bellchambers, University of Winchester, UK The role of religious education within the primary school and how it should be implemented has been the subject of worldwide debate. Responding to the delivery of the non-statutory framework for RE and the recent emphasis on a creative primary curriculum Primary Religious Education – A New Approach models a much needed pedagogical framework, encouraging conceptual enquiry and linking theory to its implementation within the wider curriculum in schools.

The book outlines this new conceptual approach to Religious Education and is based upon the Living Difference syllabus successfully implemented in Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and Westminster. It demonstrates how to implement the requirements of the new QCDA curriculum and Ofsted criteria for effective RE and is rapidly gaining both national and international support. Through this approach, Religious Education is discussed within the larger context of primary education in the contemporary world.

With an all-encompassing global context, this book provides tutors, students and practicing teachers with a firm basis for developing their thinking about the subject of RE, how it is placed in the primary curriculum and how it may be successfully implemented into schools.

Encyclopedia of Primary Science and Technology Chris Collier, Bath Spa University, UK, Dan Davies, Alan Howe and Kendra McMahon Unique in its field, this Encyclopedia brings together in one indispensable reference volume an eclectic mixture of definitions covering a wide range of topics and ideas. This handy reference will be invaluable to all currently teaching or training to teach at primary level as well as primary science co-ordinators advisors, and teacher trainers.

Clear explanations of difficult scientific concepts are provided, carefully chosen to reflect the needs of those involved in primary science education.

The Encyclopedia also includes explanations of terms associated with teaching and learning of primary science. There are also commentaries of current issues in primary science education, a who’s who of important current and historical figures in primary science and finally a top ten of key texts in primary science education and research is included, as well further top tens of influential people in primary science, and difficult concepts.
