Caracteristici

  • Includesover 350 Teaching Tips throughout–starting points, activities, or elaborations on a science teaching concept.
  • Twelve Inquiry Units model constructivist applications, build conceptual knowledge, and provide a bank of classroom-tested lessons to use in science classrooms, so students can see concrete examples of the inquiry approach.
  • Benchmarks and Standards feature found throughout the chapters help students see how to integrate the National Science Education Standards in their own teaching.
  • Technology Chapter includes not only discussions on design technology and the applications of technology to advance science but also the latest educational technology to promote learning in science classrooms.
  • Provides coverage ofcurrent technology issues

Caracteristici noi

  • NEW! Integrates the effective and extensively-researched 6E Instructional Model, which expands on the popular 5E model (Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, Evaluation) to include E-Learning, as a theme throughout.
  • NEW! Integrates MyEducationLab explorations throughout, optimizing blended and online learning, with additional suggestions for enhancing online experiences as found in the instructor's manual.
  • NEW! Includes Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (as ascribed by the AACTE), with E-Learning links throughout the text, use of the MyEducationLab website for video support activities, and over 200 web discussion questions which can be completed through an enterprise e-learning system (i.e., Blackboard, Desire2Learn), a free social networking site (i.e., Ning), or a free wiki development site (i.e., Wetpaint), reinforcing key concepts found in the text and helping to build students’ technical proficiency.
  • NEW! Extensive use of discussion items reinforces concepts presented in the methods chapters and promotes further dialogue.
  • NEW! The Backwards Design Model (Identify Desired Results, Determine Acceptable Evidence, and Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction) is used as a model for planning and assessment effectiveness (Chs. 3 and 4).
  • NEW! Chapter 8 includes professional development, lifelong learning, action research, and mentoring, exposing candidates to the need to continue learning beyond initial certification.
