About this title

Synopsis

Using narratives about science in the classroom as a tool for teaching and learning, this text helps prepare teachers to build their own knowledge?through a constructivist approach?and learn from students' experiences. Each science story presents actual classroom scenarios that demonstrate content, learning, and strategies in action. Stories are followed by Expanding Meanings sections, as well as coverage of the Teaching Ideas, Science Ideas, and Science Standards applicable to each one.

Broadened coverage includes science stories from grades six through eight; the corresponding passages address concepts and issues relevant to middle school students.
Coverage of standards includes National Science Education Standards and an emphasis on the National Education Technology Standards from ISTE. Marginal icons highlight these for easy reference.

Review

"I have never used the Koch text but will use it next fall for my two sections of science methods with undergraduates. As I read the chapters I realized that it may be just what I have been looking for. I need something that the students can relate to, not too difficult that it goes over their heads and not too dry. Its strengths are: Readability, science stories making science concepts and teaching ideas accessible to students. Personal reflections of the author woven throughout. Text feels like it was written by someone who has taught science in the classroom. Instructor support much more than most texts give."
