Offering a fresh take on inquiry, this book draws on current research and theory in science education, literacy, and educational psychology, as well as the history and philosophy of science, to make its case for transforming the way science is taught.

Re-thinking the Way We Teach Science addresses major themes in national reform documents and movements – how to place students at the center of what happens in the classroom; how to shift the focus from giving answers to building arguments; how to move beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries to integrated explorations of ideas and issues that connect directly with students; and most especially, the importance of engaging students in discussions of an interactive and explanatory character. Deeply anchored in the classroom, highly interactive, and relevant across grade levels and subject matter, above all this is a book about choosing to place the authority of reason over that of right answers.

Epistemology and Science Education

Teaching Science Creatively

Understanding the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design Controversy

Edited by Roger S. Taylor, State University of New York, Oswego, USA and Michel Ferrari, University of Toronto, Canada

How is epistemology related to the issue of teaching science and evolution in the schools?

Addressing a flashpoint issue in our schools today, this book explores core epistemological differences between proponents of intelligent design and evolutionary scientists, as well as the critical role of epistemological beliefs in learning science. Preeminent scholars in these areas report empirical research and/or make a theoretical contribution, with a particular emphasis on the controversy over whether intelligent design deserves to be considered a science alongside Darwinian evolution.

This pioneering book coordinates and provides a complete picture of the intersections in the study of evolution, epistemology, and science education, in order to allow a deeper understanding of the intelligent design vs. evolution controversy.

This is a very timely book for teachers and policy makers who are wrestling with issues of how to teach biology and evolution within a cultural context in which intelligent design has been and is likely to remain a challenge for the foreseeable future.

How Science Works

Science Learning and Instruction

2nd Edition

Exploring Effective Pedagogy and Practice Edited by Rob Toplis, Brunel University, UK

How Science Works provides student and practicing teachers with a comprehensive introduction to one of the most dramatic changes to the secondary science curriculum.

Underpinned by the latest research in the field, it explores the emergence and meaning of How Science Works and reviews major developments in pedagogy and practice.

With chapters structured around three key themes – why How Science Works, what it is and how to teach it – expert contributors explore issues including the need for curriculum change, arguments for scientific literacy for all, school students’ views about science, what we understand about scientific methods, types of scientific enquiry, and, importantly, effective pedagogies and their implications for practice. Aiming to promote discussion and reflection on the ways forward for this new and emerging area of the school science curriculum, it considers: • teaching controversial issues in science • argumentation and questioning for effective teaching • enhancing investigative science and developing reasoned scientific judgments • the role of ICT in exploring How Science Works • teaching science outside the classroom.

How Science Works is a source of guidance for all student, new and experienced teachers of secondary science, interested in investigating how the curriculum can provide creativity and engagement for all school students.

Teaching Science to Every Child

Taking Advantage of Technology to Promote Knowledge Integration Marcia C. Linn, University of California at Berkeley, USA and Bat-Sheva Eylon, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Everyone can learn science. How can science courses help learners refine their understanding of science topics by making science relevant to their lives? This book describes the knowledge integration approach to science teaching and learning and contrasts it with typical instruction that implements the absorption approach.

Science Learning and Instruction: • synthesizes a large body of literature on knowledge integration patterns

John Settlage, University of Connecticut, USA and Sherry Southerland, Florida State University, USA Teaching Science to Every Child provides timely and practical guidance about teaching science to all students.

Particular emphasis is given to making science accessible to populations who are typically pushed to the fringe – especially students of color and English language learners. Written in a conversational tone, this text treats elementary education majors as professional partners in efforts to close achievement gaps in science, while also addressing vital issues in science education, including shifts in policies along with practices appropriate at the classroom level to advance the science learning of all children.

Changes in the Second Edition

• illustrates the advantages of knowledge integration

• three entirely new chapters: Integrated Process Skills; Learning and Teaching; Assessment

• clarifies how teachers can guide students to become independent learners • shows curriculum developers and designers how to take advantage of technology to promote inquiry and understanding of science.

By viewing the many intuitive ideas that students develop to explain the natural world as a starting point, this book illustrates how science activities can lead to coherent understanding. It shows how conducting hands-on and virtual experiments, interrogating scientific simulations, and collaborating with peers can contribute to lifelong learning. Instruction aimed at knowledge integration can empower everyone to take advantage of their natural curiosity about the world and explore the wonder of science.

International Handbook of Research on Environmental Education Edited by Justin Dillon, Kings College, UK, Michael Brody, Montana State University, USA, Robert Stevenson, University of Buffalo, USA and Arjen E.J. Wals, Wageningen University, the Netherlands The environment and its sustainability are increasingly topics of public interest, political debate, and legislation across the world. Several environmental education journals now publish research from a wide variety of methodological traditions that show linkages between the environment, health, development, and education.

Therefore, this is an opportune time to review and consolidate the knowledge base of the environmental education (EE) field.

The purpose of this 50-chapter, AERA sponsored handbook is not only to illuminate the most important concepts, findings and theories that have been developed by EE research, but to also critically examine the historical progression of the field, its current debates and controversies, what is still missing from the EE research agenda, and where that agenda might be headed.

Mansoor Niaz, Universidad de Oriente, Venezuela

How teachers view the nature of scientific knowledge is crucial to their understanding of science content and how it can be taught. This book presents an overview of the dynamics of scientific progress and its relationship to the history and philosophy of science, and then explores their methodological and educational implications and develops innovative strategies based on actual classroom practice for teaching topics such the nature of science, conceptual change, constructivism, qualitative-quantitative research, and the role of controversies, presuppositions, speculations, hypotheses, and predictions.

Field-tested in science education courses, this book is designed to involve readers in critically thinking about the history and philosophy of science and to engage science educators in learning how to progressively introduce various aspects of ”science-in-the-making” in their classrooms, to promote discussions highlighting controversial historical episodes included in the science curriculum, and to expose their students to the controversies and encourage them to support, defend or critique the different interpretations. Innovating Science Teacher Education offers guidelines to go beyond traditional textbooks, curricula, and teaching methods and innovate with respect to science teacher education and classroom teaching.

Mathematics Teacher Noticing

How We Think

Seeing Through Teachers’ Eyes Edited by Miriam Sherin, Northwestern University, USA, with Vicki Jacobs and Randy Philipp, both at CRMSE, USA

Mathematics Teacher Noticing is the first book to examine research on the particular type of noticing done by teachers – how teachers pay attention to and make sense of what happens in the complexity of instructional situations. In the midst of all that is happening in a classroom, where do mathematics teachers look, what do they see, and what sense do they make of it? This groundbreaking collection begins with an overview of the construct of noticing and the various historical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives on teacher noticing. It then focuses on studies of mathematics teacher noticing in the context of teaching and learning and concludes by suggesting links to other constructs integral to teaching. By collecting the work of leaders in the field in one volume, the editors present the current state of research and provide ideas for how future work could further the field.

A Theory of Goal-Oriented Decision Making and its Educational Applications Alan H. Schoenfeld, University of California at Berkeley, USA “How We Think is an important resource for mathematics education, as well as the decision making sciences … The book is highly recommended to anyone interested in self analyzing teaching practice, researching teacher practices, building a program of research, or simply interested in how we think.

The moderate length of the book also facilitates it being accessible for semester long graduate seminars. Last but not least the appendices contain a wealth of real data with notes and URL’s for those interested in learning fine grained analysis of teaching data.”– Journal for Research in Mathematics Education

Teachers try to help their students learn. But why do they make the particular teaching choices they do?

What resources do they draw upon? What accounts for the success or failure of their efforts? In How We Think, esteemed scholar and mathematician, Alan H. Schoenfeld, proposes a groundbreaking theory and model for how we think and act in the classroom and beyond. Based on thirty years of research on problem solving and teaching, Schoenfeld provides compelling evidence for a concrete approach that describes how teachers, and individuals more generally, navigate their way through in-the-moment decision-making in well-practiced domains. Applying his theoretical model to detailed representations and analyses of teachers at work as well as of professionals outside education, Schoenfeld argues that understanding and recognizing the goal-oriented patterns of our day to day decisions can help identify what makes effective or ineffective behavior in the classroom and beyond.

A Focus on Fractions is the first book to make cognitive research on how students develop their understanding of fraction concepts readily accessible and understandable to pre- and in-service K– 8 mathematics educators. This important resource assists teachers in translating research findings into their classroom practice by conveying detailed information about how students develop fraction understandings as well as common student misconceptions, errors, preconceptions, and partial understandings that may interfere with students learning.

Using extensive annotated samples of student work, as well as vignettes characteristic of classroom teachers’ experiences, this book equips educators with knowledge and tools to reveal students’ thinking so that they can modify their teaching to improve student learning of fractions concepts.

Special Features: • End of Chapter Questions provide teachers the opportunity to analyze student thinking and consider instructional strategies for their own students • Instructional Links help teachers relate concepts from the chapter to their own instructional materials and programs • Big Ideas and Research Reviews frame the chapters and provide a platform for meaningful exploration of the teaching of fractions • Answer Key posted online offers extensive explanations of in-chapter questions.

A Focus on Fractions bridges the gap between what mathematics education researchers have discovered about the learning of fraction concepts and what teachers need to know to make effective instructional decisions.

2nd Edition

Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics Teachers’ Understanding of Fundamental Mathematics in China and the United States Liping Ma

Studies of teachers in the US often document insufficient subject matter knowledge in mathematics. Yet, these studies give few examples of the knowledge teachers need to support teaching, particularly the kind of teaching demanded by recent reforms in mathematics education. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics describes the nature and development of the knowledge that elementary teachers need to become accomplished mathematics teachers, and suggests why such knowledge seems more common in China than in the United States, despite the fact that Chinese teachers have less formal education than their US counterparts.

The anniversary edition of this bestselling volume includes the original studies that compare US and Chinese elementary school teachersí mathematical understanding and offers a powerful framework for grasping the mathematical content necessary to understand and develop the thinking of school children.

Highlighting notable changes in the field and the author’s work, this new edition includes an updated preface, introduction, and key journal articles that frame and contextualize this seminal work.

The Learning Trajectories Approach

Connecting Curriculum Materials and Classroom Instruction

“In closing, I would like to draw attention to how, in my view, many mathematics education research endeavors continue to talk the good talk of culturally responsive pedagogy in mathematics education, but walking the walk in practice remains much more elusive … I applaud the sincere efforts of the authors in this book to ground the `good talk’ (the theoretical discussions) in specific classroom and curricular experiences that do, indeed, serve as pointers to possibilities for real change.” –Teachers College Record

This critical new collection presents mathematics education from a culturally responsive perspective and offers a broad perspective of mathematics as a significant, liberating intellectual force in our society.

Elementary Mathematics through Technology

2nd Edition

Teaching Mathematics Creatively

Integrating Technology, Mathematical Content and Pedagogy Maria Mitchell Teaching with technology is a vital component of today’s elementary mathetmatics teaching, but is often treated as a ”tack-on” rather than a truly integrated component of the curriculum. Elementary Mathematics through Technology walks readers step by step through the process of interweaving math content pedagogy and the most current technology available to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics. More than mere suggested weblinks, this fresh approach to math methods and content features: • an overview of digital technologies available today with concrete suggestions for putting them to best practice in the elementary mathematics classroom • effective ways to incoporate social networking tools that today’s students know • technology-based model lessons and sample activities that provide coverage of both the standards as espoused by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the International Society for Technology in Education standards (NETS) • extensive tables, diagrams, graphics, cartoons, and other visual components that help clarify concepts.

Accessibly written and full of examples, strategies, and more, this text is sure to guide pre- and in-service teachers through the necessary thinking to meaninfgully integrate today’s technologies, mathematical content, and pedagogy.

Linda Pound and Trisha Lee, Make-Believe Arts, UK

”With dramatic flair, Trisha Lee and Linda Pound combine their unique knowledge of theatre and education to demonstrate new ways of teaching maths. And guess what? It’s all about telling stories and acting out ideas, just the thing children love to do.

Page by page, the authors show us how to trust a playful approach and join the children in imagining a life of mathematical thinking.” – Vivian Gussin Paley Are you looking for new ideas to capture the reluctant maths pupils in your class?

How can story, drama and GIANTS help you teach maths?

Teaching Mathematics Creatively is crammed full of practical approaches for bringing the teaching of mathematics to life. From an examination of where maths is failing to engage pupils in the twenty-first century, to a wide range of exciting approaches and ideas for ensuring it is possible to teach in a creative way, this is a stimulating and enjoyable source of inspiration for busy teachers.

It promotes creativity as a key element to develop young children’s knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of mathematics and offers a range of strategies to enable teachers to take a playful approach to mathematics teaching. Imaginative ideas include: • the power of story-telling and play to bring the subject alive for children and teachers alike • learning maths outdoors – work on a larger scale, make more noise, make more mess • making sense of the numbers, patterns, shapes and measures children see around them every day • motivating children through problem-finding and problem-solving • using music, rhythm and pattern to teach maths creatively • giant maths – how much food does a giant need in a week?

Underpinned by the latest research and theory and with contemporary and cutting-edge practice at the forefront, Teaching Mathematics Creatively includes a wealth of innovative ideas to enthuse teachers and enrich maths teaching. It is an essential purchase for every teacher who wishes to employ creative approaches to teaching in their classroom.
