A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Accountable Inquiry   Inquiry-based teaching is central to the National science Education Standards (NSES) and Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy, and research has proven that an inquiry approach to science teaching motivates and engates every type of student. Methods for Teaching Science as Inquiry provides a clear, easy-to-follow approach to inquiry, using the 5-E Learning Cycle model of instruction (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate). This book is derived from Teaching Science as Inquiry, which has become the leanding book on the market!   New to this edition:

• Chapter 6, Assessing Science Learning, includes a new section on Science Standards and Statewide Tests which helps teachers understand the relationship between standardized test items and the conceptual knowledge and inquiry skills students need to learn. (See pages 176-181)
• Updated, research-based coverage on meeting the needs of English Language Learners and strategies for reaching diverse learners helps prepare teacher for the realities of today's classrooms. (See pages 267-271)
• Margin notes link readers to activities that model standards-based inquiry and developmentally appropriate science content. (See page 5 and 15)

Praise for Teaching Science as Inquiry:   "This book is easily the best available. It gives the clearest description of the curriculum models, and the chapter on questioning is splendid...I have used it with undergraduates, graduates, beginning methods, advanced methods, television classes, and on campus classes.  It has been a valuable resource for me and my students." WENDY FRAZIER, George Mason University   "...this is an execellent text and one that I would use in teaching pre-service teacher of elementary and middle-level science." JIM ELLIS, The University of Kansas   "...[the] content of the textbook is very informative and well organized with tables and charts. [Teaching as Inquiry] has many strengths." SENAY YASAR, Arizona State University    

Quatrième de couverture :

THIS STREAMLINED NEW EDIITON IS DESIGNED TO INTRODUCE READERS TO THE SCIENCE CONTENT AND TEACHING STRATEGIES NECESSARY TO TEACH SCIENCE IN CONTEMPORARY WAYS.

Infused with the philosophical intent of the National Science Education Standards, the eighth edition of Methods for Teaching Science as Inquiry includes the theory behind knowledge construction, the how-tos of knowledge acquisition, and questioning strategies that promote inquiry.

Features of the eighth edition include:

• New chapter on tools for inquiry.
• National Science Education Standards undergird text discussions of effective teaching strategies and model lessons.
• Integrated multimedia package:
  • For professors: Three free videos from the Annenberg/CPB math and science series. Video Cases illustrate professional practice in science education, model science inquiry in classrooms, and exemplify the ongoing, reflective process teachers engage in to assess the effectiveness of their instruction.
  • For students: A free Companion Website presents additional classroom video with corresponding performance assessment activities.
