Download or read book The Art of Teaching Science written by Jack Hassard and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a core teaching textbook designed for the professional development of middle and high school science teachers. Differing from other texts in its constructivist approach to learning and teaching, it provides meaningful learning experiences and connections with the most recent research and understanding of science teaching. Each chapter is organized into two sections : the first focuses on the content of the major theme of the chapter, while the second consists of a newspaper-like feature called The Science Teaching Gazette, containing a variety of strategies for extending the learning process. Packed with learning tools, hands-on inquiry activities, case studies, think pieces, and interviews with teachers around the world, this is a remarkably comprehensive textbook designed to prepare a new cadre of science teachers.
