Description & Coverage
Description:

Approaches and Strategies in Next Generation Science Learning examines the challenges involved in the development of modern curriculum models, teaching strategies, and assessments in science education in order to prepare future students in the 21st century economies. This comprehensive collection of research brings together science educators, researchers and administrators interested in enhancing the teaching and learning of next generation science.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Curriculum Innovations
  • Evaluation and Assessment Issues
  • Improving Science Education
  • Modeling Pedagogies
  • Next Generation Learning
  • Next Generation Science Assessment
  • Scientific Thinking
  • Self-Regulated Learning
Reviews & Statements

A theoretical foundation and conceptual frameworks; modeling, simulation, and games; curriculum innovations; and evaluation and assessment issues are the major themes as education scholars, most specializing in science education, ponder how to pass scientific knowledge and practice to another generation. Among the topics are self-regulated learning as a method to develop scientific thinking, integrating the products and practices of science to improve science education, teachers and teaching in game-based learning theory and practice, promoting the physical sciences among middle school urban youth through informal learning experiences, and measuring and facilitating highly effective inquiry-based teaching and learning in science classrooms.
