Produktinformationen zu „Nature of Science in Science Instruction / Science: Philosophy, History and Education (PDF)“

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Nature of Science (NOS), one of the most important aspects of science teaching and learning, and includes tested strategies for teaching aspects of the NOS in a variety of instructional settings. In line with the recommendations from the science education community to include NOS in all plans for science instruction, the book provides an accessible resource of background information on NOS, rationales for teaching these targeted NOS aspects, and - most importantly - how to teach about the nature of science in specific instructional contexts. The first section examines the why and what of NOS, its character, and what research says about how to teach NOS in science settings. The second section focuses on extending knowledge about NOS to question of scientific method, theory-laden observation, the role of experiments and observations and distinctions between science, engineering and technology. The book concludes with an extensive set of recommendations and strategies for teaching aspects of NOS applicable in diverse instructional environments.
