"Chemical education is essential to everybody because it deals with ideas that play major roles in personal, social, and economic decisions. This book is based on three principles: that all aspects of chemical education should be associated with research; that the development of opportunities for chemical education should be both a continuous process and be linked to research; and that the professional development of all those associated ..."

"Teaching and Learning Science consists of sixty-six chapters written by more than ninety leading educators and scientists. The contributions are informed by cutting-edge theory and research and address numerous issues that are central to K? 12 education. This resource will be particularly valuable for parents and teachers as schools around the country prepare students to meet the challenges presented when science is added to the No Chil ..."
"John K. Gilbert, David Treagust. Part. III. Classroom. Solutions. to. the.
Challenges. Posed. by. the. Triplet. Relationship. This section consists of five
papers, each taking a different approach in addressing the challenges that are
posed by teaching and learning about the triplet relationship. The first approach,
taken by Pilot, Meijer and Bulte, in Chapter III, is to break up the challenges into
smaller segments and to ensure t ..."

"This volume is important because despite various external representations, such as analogies, metaphors, and visualizations being commonly used by physics teachers, educators and researchers, the notion of using the pedagogical functions of multiple representations to support teaching and learning is still a gap in physics education. The research presented in the three sections of the book is introduced by descriptions of various psycho ..."

"Chemistry seeks to provide qualitative and quantitative explanations for the observed behaviour of elements and their compounds. Doing so involves making use of three types of representation: the macro (the empirical properties of substances); the sub-micro (the natures of the entities giving rise to those properties); and the symbolic (the number of entities involved in any changes that take place). Although ..."
"This work presents the latest findings on how constructivist theory can inform science and maths education. It covers techniques for determining students' understanding, and successful attempts to improve teaching and learning by reorganising the curriculum and through teacher education."

"Some students expressed that their difficulty in learning electric current is due to
two different perspectives: macroscopic-energy (physics) and atomic world (
chemistry). These students felt that the concept of electric current is inconsistently
presented in chemistry and physics (de Posada 1997). In general, the cause or
effect of electric current is less explicitly specified in textbook definitions. Some
definitions of electric ..."
"Framed against the background of educational change, this book proposes to examine the relationship between curriculum change, teacher professional development, policy reform and the processes of educational change. The main aims of the book are to: . Focus on educational changes and reconstruction in transitional societies that have undergone political, economic and social change in the past two decades . Provide a forum for the dissem ..."
"During interviews preservice nurses were asked to manipulate a range of such nursing devices as syringes, drain bottles, intravenous giving sets and aspirators. They were questioned about their knowledge of aspects of fluid dynamics. They were then asked to measure the interviewer's blood pressure and asked about the pressures they observed and about their knowledge ..."

"The Case of Mary Amelia Swift INTRODUCTION The author has studied the lives
of a number of early women scientists and found that little was known about the
early textbook author Mary Amelia Swift. The author has written about her several
times with the power of the Internet revealing more of her life on each occasion.
She is noted for two slim volumes that introduced American children to the study
of science in the nineteenth centu ..."
"This new publication in the Models and Modeling in Science Education series synthesizes a wealth of international research on using multiple representations in biology education and aims for a coherent framework in using them to improve higher-order learning. Addressing a major gap in the literature, the volume proposes a theoretical model for advancing biology educators’ notions of how multiple external representations (MERs) such as a ..."
