Transforming Learning and Teaching
This book consists of 19 chapters on heuristics – reflexive tools, designed to heighten awareness of actions and catalyze desired changes. Thirty-three heuristics address six foci: teaching and learning, learning to teach, emotions, wellness, contemplative activities, and harmony.
Doing Authentic Inquiry to Improve Learning and Teaching
Suited for students of educational research and researchers and practitioners involved in teaching and learning, teacher education, and policy. Readers experience potentially transformative research that is applicable to today’s challenges.
Contemplative Practices for Sustaining Wellness
Contemplative Practices for Sustaining Wellness: priorities for research and education presents what we learned from research on wellness, intense emotions and health issues together with uses of complementary medicine, mindfulness practices, and interventions for self-care, and caring for others.
Science Learning for All
"Science Learning for All: Celebrating Cultural Diversity covers three "must-know" areas of multicultural science education: Inclusive curriculum design, multicultural teaching strategies, language diversity in science teaching and learning. You'll find fresh ideas on how to meet the science learning needs of all students. You'll also discover focused teaching techniques, tips on handling language diversity, practical insights on giving students an appreciation of the contributions that all cultures make to our scientific heritage, and more." -- Back Cover
Being a Teacher | Researcher
Using a sociocultural approach to critical action research, this book is a primer in doing reflexive, authentic inquiry research in teaching and learning for educators as teacher | researchers. Rather than the artificial dichotomy between theory and practice, the roles of teacher and researcher are instead seen in a dialectic relationship (indicated by the symbol “|” in teacher | researcher) in which each informs and mediates the other in the process of revising and generating new knowledge that is of benefit to those being researched. In addition to providing a theoretical foundation for authentic inquiry, Being a Teacher | Researcher provides a detailed framework with ideas and strateg...
Eventful Learning
A rich array of social and cultural theories constitutes a solid foundation that affords unique insights into teaching and learning science and learning to teach science. The approach moves beyond studies in which emotion, cognition, and context are often regarded as independent. Collaborative studies advance theory and resolve practical problems, such as enhancing learning by managing excess emotions and successfully regulating negative emotions. Multilevel studies address a range of timely issues, including emotional energy, discrete emotions, emotion regulation, and a host of issues that arose, such as managing negative emotions like frustration and anxiety, dealing with disruptive studen...
Examining Ethics in Contemporary Science Education Research
This book poses questions on how to work ethically in research on science education. Applying research ethics reflectively and responsibly is fundamental for conducting research with people. It seeks to renew the conversation on how and why to engage with ethics in science education research and to adjust and refine research practices. It highlights both the need for methodological reflections in science education research and the particular ethical research challenges of science education. Science education research involves the study of people – often young and vulnerable people – and their practices. Researchers working within humanities and social science research commonly follow gui...
Doing Educational Research

Critical Issues and Bold Visions for Science Education
Critical Issues and Bold Visions for Science Education addresses diverse critical issues using rich theoretical frameworks and methodologies, and while retaining complexity, offers transformative visions within a context of political tensions, historical legacies, and grand challenges associated with Anthropocene.
Sociocultural Studies and Implications for Science Education
The chapters included in this book address two major questions: what are some of the methodological and theoretical issues in sociocultural research in urban education and science education and what sort of questions do technological and virtual contexts raise for these types of research perspectives. The chapters build off Ken Tobin's personal history of sociocultural research in science education and as they do each chapter asks philosophical, sociological and/or methodological questions that inform our understanding of the challenges associated with conducting research in experiential and virtual contexts.
