Too often in today’s science classes, students learn isolated facts but are unprepared to apply scientific thinking outside of checking off answers on standardized tests. Designing Coherent Science Education demonstrates how effective instruction, supported by research-based curriculum materials and technologies, prepares learners to use scientific principles to make sense of the world around them. Arising from the National Science Foundation-funded Delineating and Evaluating Coherent Instructional Designs for Education (DECIDE) project, this volume brings together experts in curriculum development, technology-assisted learning, diversity, teacher education, and assessment to consider strategies that will help students achieve a more integrated understanding of science.
Offering important policy recommendations, this practical resource:
- Provides a set of design principles for the next generation of curriculum materials, both print and technology-based.
- Synthesizes current research on the most promising methods and models for coherent science instruction.
- Discusses how courses can help students interpret contemporary scientific dilemmas like global warming and personally relevant issues like health and disease.
Contributors include Jane Bowyer, Allan Collins, Elizabeth A. Davis, George E. DeBoer, Joseph S. Krajcik, Roy D. Pea, and James Slotta.
