Connecting with Science Education

Connecting with Science Education engages the pre-service science teacher in the excitement of the content of science, by inviting them to question and to be creative with their approaches to teaching science. The book focuses on developing pre-service teachers' abilities to explore and investigate the literacies of science, and the pedagogies associated with effective teaching. The book provides opportunities for pre-service teachers to examine the purpose and nature of science teaching and learning, and encourages readers to reflect on and develop their own scientific literacy and knowledge. It identifies and analyses the processes underpinning scientific investigations as an essential element for science teaching and learning.
