This edited volume provides an in-depth exploration of a theoretical framework supporting Early Childhood Science Education research and teaching best practices. Particularly by presenting the concept of the Precursor Model from an epistemological, psychological, and didactical point of view at Early Childhood Science Education. The book examines and discusses the nature of Precursor Models and their use for early science teaching and learning. It scrutinizes different aspects of the construction of such models applied in early childhood education settings and contexts. Several empirical studies are presented within diverse scientific domains, as well as in international educational contexts...
The aim of this collective work is to give an account of the topicality and dynamics of new research in the didactics of evolution, by articulating francophone and international work. The various contributions pursue a reflection on the challenges of teaching and learning about evolution, based on historical, epistemological and societal approaches. The themes addressed illustrate the vitality and diversity of research issues in educational sciences, from primary school to university. Structured around different theoretical fields (problematization, didactics of the curriculum, nature of science, etc.), this book explores the content, teaching and learning processes and approaches, teaching practices, as well as pre-service and in-service teacher training, with a view to both intelligibility and feasibility.
Cet ouvrage rend compte de l’actualité et de la dynamique des nouvelles recherches en didactique de l’évolution, principalement en contexte francophone (Québec, Belgique, France). Les différentes contributions à ce travail collectif constituent autant d’analyses pour engager ou poursuivre une réflexion sur les enjeux épistémologiques, cognitifs et sociétaux de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage de l’évolution. À partir de travaux issus de la didactique des sciences de la vie et de la Terre, et plus largement des sciences de l’éducation, du primaire à l’université, les thématiques traitées témoignent de la vitalité, de la diversité, mais aussi de la vivacité des problématiques de recherche. Structuré autour de différents champs théoriques, Recherches en didactique de l’évolution explore aussi bien des questions d’ordre didactique, historique, épistémologique que socio-éducatif en lien avec les contenus enseignés, les démarches d’enseignement et les pratiques enseignantes, à la fois dans une visée d’intelligibilité et de faisabilité.
Deze publicatie doet enerzijds verslag van een onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling in de afgelopen eeuwen van voorbeeldenboeken van schrijfmeesters in West Europa. Daarbij is zowel gekeken naar afbeeldingen van lettervormen, afstemming op doelgroepen, de didaktische opbouw als ook naar instructieve teksten over vervaardiging en hantering van gereedschappen en materialen (o.a. Arrighi, Tagliente, Palatino, Johnston en vele anderen). Veel van die instructieve teksten zijn getranscribeerd en voor het eerst vertaald uit het Latijn, Italiaans, Frans, Duits, Engels, Spaans, oud-Nederlands e.d. naar het huidige Nederlands. Anderzijds is onderzoek gedaan naar verwijzingen in instructieve (hand)boeken voo...
Travail d'étude de l’année 2015 dans le domaine Pédagogie - Education de la profession, Formation professionnelle, note: 17.5, , cours: Mémoire de recherche, langue: Français, résumé: Un tiers des élèves dits intellectuellement précoces ou à haut potentiel se retrouve en échec scolaire. Face à cet amer constat, il va de soi qu'il nous appartient à nous, enseignants, de prendre en considération les difficultés que peuvent rencontrer ces élèves. Il est de notre rôle de les inclure, les accompagner dans les apprentissages, comme nous nous efforçons de le faire pour tous les autres élèves. Le mythe de l'élève surdoué premier de la classe est à défaire car bien éloigné de la réalité. Le "petit intello" à lunettes au premier rang est certes très scolaire mais est-il pour autant surdoué? A-t-il vraiment besoin d'aménagements pédagogiques? Mais alors... Qu'est-ce qu'un élève à haut potentiel? Y en a-t-il un (ou plusieurs) dans ma classe? Comment l'accueillir? Comment l'aider à réussir sans fragiliser l'équilibre de ma classe? Quelques clés pour comprendre et agir.
This volume is important because despite various external representations, such as analogies, metaphors, and visualizations being commonly used by physics teachers, educators and researchers, the notion of using the pedagogical functions of multiple representations to support teaching and learning is still a gap in physics education. The research presented in the three sections of the book is introduced by descriptions of various psychological theories that are applied in different ways for designing physics teaching and learning in classroom settings. The following chapters of the book illustrate teaching and learning with respect to applying specific physics multiple representations in dif...
This book reflects on science education in the first 20 years of the 21st century in order to promote academic dialogue on science education from various standpoints, and highlights emergent new issues, such as education in science education research. It also defines new research agendas that should be “moved forward” and inform new trajectories through the rest of the century. Featuring 21 thematically grouped chapters, it includes award-winning papers and other significant papers that address the theme of the 2018 International Science Education Conference.
′The text is clear and accessible and gives a fascinating overview of how drawing can help children to learn and understand the thinking of others...It is highly recommended for all students and practitioners interested in understanding more about how children express their ideas and theories about the world′ - Early Years Update ′This book is an invaluable resource for anyone who recognises the potential of ′drawing′ as an essential element for developing thinking and learning in the Primary Classroom...and a ′must read′ for those who are sceptical!....This is a fascinating read that invokes a variety of feelings including a sense of wonder and curiosity about the many facets ...
This book presents different data collection and representation techniques: elementary descriptive statistics, confirmatory statistics, multivariate approaches and statistical modeling. It exposes the possibility of giving more robustness to the classical methodologies of education sciences by adding a quantitative approach. The fundamentals of each approach and the reasons behind them are methodically analyzed, and both simple and advanced examples are given to demonstrate how to use them. Subsequently, this book can be used both as a course for the uninitiated and as an accompaniment for researchers who are already familiar with these concepts.
This edited book aims to provide a global perspective on socioscientific issues (SSI), responsible citizenship and the relevance of science, with an emphasis on science teacher education. The volume, with more than twenty-five contributors from Africa, North and South America, Asia, Australasia and Europe, focuses on examples from in- and pre-service teacher training. The contributors expand on issues related to teachers’ beliefs about teaching SSI, teachers’ challenges when designing and implementing SSI-related activities, the role of professional development, both in pre- and in-service teacher training, in promoting SSI, the role of the nature of science when teaching SSI, promoting scientific practices through SSI in pre-service teaching, and the role of indigenous knowledge in SSI teaching. Finally, the book discusses new perspectives for addressing SSI in teacher education through the lens of relevance and responsible citizenship.
