Argumentation in Science Education $137.09 This book brings together the work of leading experts in argumentation in science education. It presents research combining theoretical and empirical perspectives relevant for secondary science classrooms. Since the 1990s, argumentation studies have increased at a rapid pace, from stray papers to a wealth of research exploring ever more sophisticated issues. This volume constitutes a unique collection and covers fundamental issues in argumentation such as cognitive, methodological and epistemological aspects; classroom-based research in teaching and learning of argumentation in science classrooms; and argumentation in context such as in socio-scientific and moral contexts. The book`s underlying premise is that argumentation is a significant aspect of scientific inquiry and plays an important role in teaching and learning of science. Argumentation also contributes to the agenda of informed citizenship where students are encouraged and supported in evidence-based reasoning in their everyday lives."Arumentation appeared as a major theme in science education research during the mid-1990s. Since that time, researchers working on themes such as the nature of science in science education, science education for citizenship, and language in the science classroom have all addressed argumentation in their work. This book brings together key lines of work and key scholars, presenting a state-of-the-art review of argumentation in science education."Professor John LeachThe University of Leeds, UK |

Innovating Science Teacher Education (Paperback) $34.49 "Drawing on years of his own research, which is extensive, impressive, and persuasive, Mansoor Niaz presents a well-written and documented argument for the synthesis of cognitive theory and the history and philosophy of science for the improvement of science education research. He provides a timely antidote for ideologically driven research methods by persuasively arguing from the history of science that the research questions we address need to drive our research methods not the other way around."-William Cobern, Western Michigan University"This is an important study. Science teaching and the preparation of science teachers is dominated by a far too uncomplicated understanding of the nature of science. Mansoor Niaz brings a strong and clear mastery of the history and philosophy of science to bear on pressing issues in the teaching of science. He presents a valuable perspective on how we should understand the nature of science and how we can work with pre-service and in-service teachers to strengthen their appreciation."-Louis Rosenblatt, Baltimore Freedom Academy"This book provides interesting ideas and examples for fruitful discussions for pre-service and in-service teachers, and for graduate students in schools of education."-Chin-Chung Tsai, Institute of Education & Center for Teacher Education, National Chiao Tung University TaiwanScience does not advance by just doing experiments and collecting data. Progress in science inevitably leads to controversies and alternative interpretations of data. How teachers view the nature of scientific knowledge is crucial to their understanding of science content and how it can be taught.This book presents an overview of the dynamics of scientific progress and its relationship to the history and philosophy of science, and then explores their 10 methodological and educational implications and develops innovative strategies based on actual classroom practice for teaching topics such as the nature |
