Children’s Ways with Science and LiteracyIntegrated Multimodal Enactments in Urban Elementary Classrooms

Edited by Maria Varelas and Christine C. Pappas, both at University of Illinois at Chicago (Emerita), USA

Science is often a forgotten subject in primary grades as various mandates require teachers to focus on teaching young students to achieve specific reading and mathematical competencies. This book offers empirical evidence and real examples of how integrated science-literacy curriculum in urban primary-grade classrooms gives students opportunities to learn science and to develop positive images of themselves as scientists. The Integrated Science Literacy Enactments approach builds on multimodal, multidimensional, and dialogically-oriented teaching and learning pedagogical principles. Readers see how, as children engage with texts, material objects, dialogue, ideas, and symbols in their classroom community, they are helped to put together their own understandings and ways with words with those of the scientific community. In doing so, they become learners of both science and literacy. The book features both researcher and teacher perspectives. It takes a critical orientation to literacy development and its intersections with science learning in schools that educate predominately children of color, many of whom struggle with poverty and have been traditionally underestimated, underserved, and underrated in science classrooms. In all these ways, it is a significant contribution to a critically under-researched area of science education.

Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and MathematicsIssues, Reflections, and Ways Forward

Edited by Léonie Rennie, Curtin University, Australia, Grady Venville, University of Western Australia, Australia and John Wallace, University of Toronto, Canada

Featuring actual case studies of teachers’ attempts to integrate their curriculum, their reasons for doing so, how they did it, and their reflections on the outcomes, this book encourages science educators to consider the purposes and potential outcomes of this approach and raises important questions about the place of science in the school curriculum. It takes an honest approach to real issues that arise

in curriculum integration in a range of education contexts at the elementary and middle school levels. The clear documentation and critical analysis of the contribution of science in curriculum integration – its implementation and its strengths and weaknesses – will assist teachers, science educators, and researchers to understand how this approach can work to engage students and improve their learning, as well as how it does not happen easily, and how various factors can facilitate or hinder successful integration.

Student Thinking and Learning in SciencePerspectives on the Nature and Development of Learners’ Ideas

Keith S. Taber, University of Cambridge, UK

This readable and informative primer on a major topic in science education offers science education students and classroom teachers a survey of key ideas about students’ ideas and thinking in science. Focused on the secondary age range, and drawing on perspectives found in the international research literature, it is well illustrated with examples of thinking about widely taught science topics elicited from students.

Student Thinking and Learning in Science builds a bridge between theory and practice by offering clear accounts of key ideas from research, and showing how they relate to actual examples of students talking about science topics. Understanding of student thinking in science can inform science teaching which is more satisfying for teachers, less confusing and frustrating for learners, and so ultimately can lead to both greater scientific literacy and more positive attitudes to science.

Science EducationLearning to Construct a New World

Michael Reiss, Institute of Education, University of London, UK

Series: Foundations and Futures of Education

Science education as currently undertaken in schools is generally too narrow in its conceptualisation and this is a major reason why it fails to engage many young people. This book provides a unified framework for understanding the scope, the purpose and the pedagogies of science education in the settings of school, out-of-school, further education, higher education and lifelong learning. It shows how science education can be reframed in a way that is true to science, true to education and engages with learners, of whatever age.

There are a number of reasons why such a book is timely. For a start, increasing globalisation means that we need a better vision of how science learning in a country can connect to international issues in a way that does not simply involve the importation of Western values and practices. More pragmatically, governments in “developed” countries are increasingly aware that too many people currently become turned off science during their formative years. At the same time, it is increasingly evident that school science usually does not take enough account of student diversity, particularly with regard to how students learn science and what they find engaging.

There is an urgent need for science education, both inside and outside of schools, to recapture a vision of how we can understand the natural world and how we should wisely and considerately make use of that knowledge. The book therefore is wide ranging yet strongly focused, using examples to illustrate its general points. It draws on writings about epistemology, about the history and philosophy of science, about the nature of learning and the purpose of the curriculum. It critically examines present assumptions about science education, whether stated or not, and propose specific, if sometimes only partial, solutions.

From ‘Science in the Making’ to Understanding the Nature of ScienceAn Overview for Science Educators

Mansoor Niaz, Universidad de Oriente, Venezuela

The Nature of Science is highly topical among science teacher educators and researchers. Increasingly, it is a mandated topic in state curriculum documents. This book draws together recent research on Nature of Science studies within a historical and philosophical framework suitable for students and teacher educators. Traditional science curricula and textbooks present science

as a finished product. Taking a different approach, this book provides a glimpse of “science in the making” – scientific practice imbued with arguments, controversies, and competition among rival theories and explanations. Teaching about “science in the making” is a rich source of motivating students to engage creatively with the science curriculum.

Readers are introduced to “science in the making” through discussion and analysis of a wide range of historical episodes from the early nineteenth century to early twenty-first century. Recent cutting-edge research is presented to provide insight into the dynamics of scientific progress. More than 90 studies from major science education journals, related to nature of science are reviewed. A theoretical framework, field tested with in-service science teachers, is developed for moving from “science in the making” to understanding the Nature of Science.

Science Learning and InstructionTaking Advantage of Technology to Promote Knowledge Integration

Marcia C. Linn, University of California at Berkeley, USA and Bat-Sheva Eylon, Weizman Institute of Science, Israel

Science Learning and Instruction describes advances in understanding the nature of science learning and their implications for the design of science instruction. The authors show how design patterns, design principles, and professional development opportunities coalesce to create and sustain effective instruction in each primary scientific domain: earth science, life

science, and physical science. Calling for more in depth and less fleeting coverage of science topics in order to accomplish knowledge integration, the book highlights the importance of designing the instructional materials, the examples that are introduced in each scientific domain, and the professional development that accompanies these materials. It argues that unless all these efforts are made simultaneously, educators cannot hope to improve science learning outcomes. The book also addresses how many policies, including curriculum, standards, guidelines, and standardized tests, work against the goal of integrative understanding, and discusses opportunities to rethink science education policies based on research findings from instruction that emphasizes such understanding.

Fostering Success of Ethnic and Racial Minorities in STEMThe Role of Minority Serving Institutions

Edited by Robert T. Palmer and Dina C. Maramba, both at State University of New York-Binghamton, USA and Marybeth Gasman, University of Pennsylvania, USA

Various reports, policymakers, and national leaders have expressed the importance of the United States increasing its production of workers skilled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in order to be competitive in the global economy. Given the growing minority population in the United States, it is critical that higher education policies,

pedagogies, climates, and initiatives are effective in promoting racial and ethnic minority students’ educational attainment in STEM.

Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) have shown efficacy in facilitating the success of racial and ethnic minority students in STEM and are collectively responsible for producing nearly one-third of the nation’s minority STEM graduates. In Fostering Success of Racial and Ethnic Minorities in STEM, well-known contributors share salient institutional characteristics, unique aspects of climate, pedagogy, and programmatic initiatives at MSIs that are instrumental in enhancing the success of racial and ethnic minority students in STEM education. Each chapter concludes with recommendations on institutional practice, policy, and lessons that institutions could use on their campuses to foster better retention and persistence among minority students. Higher Education leaders and administrators interested in encouraging achievement among racial and ethnic minority students in STEM education will find this book a welcomed and timely addition to the discourse on promoting minority student success.

Elementary Mathematics through TechnologyIntegrating Technology, Mathematical Content and Pedagogy

Maria Mitchell

Teaching with technology is a vital component of today’s elementary mathematics teaching, but it’s often treated as a ”tack-on” rather than a truly integrated component of the curriculum. Elementary Mathematics through Technology walks readers step by step through the process of interweaving math content pedagogy and the most current technology available to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics. More than mere suggested web links, this fresh approach to math methods and content features:

•anoverviewofdigitaltechnologiesavailabletodaywith concrete suggestions for putting them to best practice in the elementary mathematics classroom

•effectivewaystoincorporatesocialnetworkingtoolsthat today’s students know, but that have not yet been embraced in the classroom

•technology-basedmodellessonsandsampleactivitiesthat provide coverage of both the standards as espoused by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the International Society for Technology in Education standards (NETS)

•extensivetables,diagrams,graphics,cartoons,andother visual components that help clarify concepts.

Accessibly written and full of examples, strategies, and more, this text is sure to guide pre- and in-service teachers through the necessary thinking to meaningfully integrate today’s technologies, mathematical content, and pedagogy.

Geometry as Objective Science in Elementary School ClassroomsMathematics in the Flesh

Wolff-Michael Roth, University of Victoria, Canada

Series: Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education

Grounded in philosophical approaches to cognition, this book presents a radical reframing of how children learn geometrical concepts in their early years. The book exhibits the shortcomings of other theories, including embodiment and enactivist approaches and advances an understanding of mathematics in the flesh.

How Chinese Teach Mathematics and Improve TeachingEdited by Yeping Li, Texas A&M University, USA and Rongjin Huang, University of Colorado Denver, USA

How Chinese Teach Mathematics and Improve Teaching builds upon existing studies to examine mathematics classroom instruction in China. It combines contributions from Chinese scholars with commentary from key Western scholars to offer multiple perspectives in viewing and learning about some important and distinctive features of mathematics classroom instruction. Viewing classroom instruction as part of teachers’ instructional practices, this book goes beyond teachers’ in-classroom instructional practice by also examining Chinese teachers’ approaches and practices in developing and improving teaching. Through this unique approach, How Chinese Teach Mathematics and Improve Teaching expands and unpacks the otherwise fragmented knowledge about Chinese practices in developing and carrying out mathematics classroom instruction.

This book is indispensible reading for those interested in Chinese practices in mathematics teaching, and is a key book for teacher educators, school administrators and policy makers in expanding ways of supporting and helping mathematics teachers in instructional development and improvement.
