Sobre IBD

Contemporary science teaching approaches focus on fostering students toconstruct new scientific knowledge as a process of inquiry rather than havingthem act as passive learners memorizing stated scientific facts. Although thisperspective of teaching science is clearly emphasized in the National ResearchCouncil’s National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), it is howeverchallenging to achieve in the classroom. Science teaching approaches shouldenhance students’ conceptual understanding of scientific concepts which can be later utilized by students indeeper recognition of real world (Marsak & Janouskova, 2007). This book identifies and describes severaldifferent contemporary science teaching approaches and presents recent applications of these approaches inpromoting interest among students. It promotes conceptual understanding of science concepts among them aswell. This book identifies pertinent issues related to strategies of teaching science and describes best practice Thechapters in this book are culmination of years of extensive research and development efforts to understand moreabout how to teach science by the distinguished scholars and practicing teachers.
