Learning and Teaching Scientific Inquiry

Research and Applications

Beschreibung

Extensively researched and pilot tested in both classrooms and professional development settings, Learning and Teaching Scientific Inquiry will help teachers integrate authentic scientific inquiry into their science programmes. Advancing a new perspective, the authors assert that scientific inquiry is best taught using models in science rather than focusing on scientists' activities.
