The Art of Teaching Science has built a strong reputation as an accessible and comprehensive guide to pedagogy, curriculum and assessment strategies for pre-service secondary science teachers. The book outlines the nature of science, constructivist and socio-cultural views of teaching and learning, as well as providing engaging teaching strategies and guidance on the effective use of ICT in the classroom. This new edition reflects the introduction of the AITSL professional standards for teachers and integrates them throughout the text. In addition there are new chapters exploring: (1) how to maximise the benefits of the various resources available to science teachers including excursions, incursions and practical work; (2) the purposes and forms of effective assessment; (3) the effective integration of STEM in schools; and (4) approaches for truly inclusive science education.
Written by leading science educators and incorporating classroom examples and activities throughout, The Art of Teaching Science is a vital reference for all secondary science pre-service teachers.
