Science Education Teaching, Learning and Assessment

SCIENCE EDUCATION Teaching. Learning and Assessment-

ISBN: 9789383154944

The book delves into major themes of science education and helps the readers develop a comprehensive understanding of historical, curricular and pedagogical aspects of science education. The book is inspired by the observations of science classrooms in the Indian context and attempts to address the issues faced by the teachers in ‘real classrooms.’ In a way, we have tried to locate the book in the classroom and the classroom in the book.

Efforts have been made to consider research conducted in the field of science education and articulate them with conceptual understanding relevant to the processes of learning, teaching, and assessment. The content has been created to contemporize these concepts and present them in an interactive manner. The curricular requirements of the teacher education programs like- B.Ed., M.Ed., B.EL.Ed. and B.Sc.-B.Ed. (Integrated) have also been taken into consideration. With its emphasis on, and faith in, the agency of learners and teachers, it is sure to help prospective and practicing teachers in their journey of being enthusiastic and transformative science teachers and researchers.

The longstanding criticism of science curriculums is that it “drains the life out of the study of life itself.” You are fighting the underworld of science curriculums and doing it well. A lovely book! It does you both real credit. I hope it does Very well as it deserves!
