Purposeful Planning for Learning
Purposeful Planning for Learning puts the passion and depth back into how teachers plan for learning in the primary classroom. Offering a unique perspective on what constitutes purposeful planning for learning, this book encourages a mindset where planning is integral to, supportive of and informed by learning, including learning that is social, emotional, physical and cognitive. Written by a variety of teacher educators and primary teachers, this book reconceptualises planning by focusing on different themes such as outdoor learning, assessment, questioning and inclusion, that all influence and inform planning. In each chapter, you can find: Voices of teachers and teacher educators The unpicking of practice and key terminology Vignettes that shed light on classroom life (examples from practice) and Opportunities for reflection (points to ponder) This cross-curricular resource provides aspirational, professional and practical insights into current issues that surround planning. It includes student and experienced qualified teacher insights which will serve as inspiration to support the reader in making real changes in their classroom.
Good Practice In Science Teaching: What Research Has To Say
This volume provides a summary of the findings that educational research has to offer on good practice in school science teaching. It offers an overview of scholarship and research in the field, and introduces the ideas and evidence that guide it.
ASE Guide to Primary Science Education
Learning in science at the primary level includes a chapter on Learning in the Early Years explaining and illustrating the importance of direct experience and talk in the years from birth to age eight. There are also chapters that describe the process of learning science, particularly through enquiry; the course of progression in ideas and skills, and the insights that neuroscience can offer in relation to learning.
Education and Sustainable Development in the Context of Crises

Exploring the Relationship Between Classroom Talk and Cognitive Development in Primary Science Classrooms Undertaking a Cognitive Acceleration Through Science Education Intervention
The focus of this exploratory, systemic (Salomon, 1991) study is to investigate the complex and inter-dependent factors that can inhibit or promote the cognitive potential of classroom talk. Set within the specific context of Year 3 (students aged 7-8 years) science classrooms undertaking the cognitive acceleration intervention known as 'Let's Think Through Science!' (Adey et al, 2003), this study strives to obtain a holistic portrayal of the challenges and rewards of using talk for thinking by drawing upon researcher and participant perspectives. During the main data collection phase, three Y3 classes were each visited four times over the academic year. Each of the 12 visits centred on a le...
The Professional Development of Teachers: Practice and Theory
Hopkins, Bruce Joyce, Michael Huberman, Matthew Miles, and Virginia Richardson. But we have chosen to present our own experience and empirical data first and then, in Part 3, to show how this experience and data relates to models which have been proposed by others. We will address here methodological issues concerned with collecting and interpreting evidence of relationships amongst the many individual and situational factors associated with PD, and re-visit the arguments about ‘process-product’ research on PD. In the light of our experience, we will interrogate models of PD which have been proposed by others and attempt to move forward our total understanding of the process of the profe...
Expanding Notions of Assessment for Learning
Assessment for learning [AfL] is bound up with students becoming autonomous lifelong learners who are active participants in the classroom and beyond. This book explores teacher and student experiences of AfL interactions in primary science and technology classrooms. Working from a sociocultural perspective, the book’s fundamental premise is that AfL has a contribution to make to students developing identities as accomplished learners and knowers. The focus is on understanding and enhancing teacher practices that align with the spirit of AfL. The following points are illustrated: • AfL interactions are multifaceted, multimodal and take place over multiple time scales. • Student learning autonomy is promoted when teachers provide opportunities for students to exercise agency within a system of accountabilities. • Teacher pedagogical content knowledge plays a pivotal role in teachers being able to respond to students. • Productive AfL interactions are reflective of the way a particular discipline generates and warrants knowledge. The book will be of interest to teachers and educational researchers who want to examine AfL from a theoretical and a practical perspective
Primary Science
Becoming a confident and informed teacher of primary science requires a strong understanding of key practical, conceptual and pedagogical issues that underpin best practice science teaching in the primary school. Addressing current curriculum concerns, the dynamic nature of the curriculum landscape, and the wider challenges of developing good practice in science education, Primary Science provides an indispensable overview of important areas of teaching that every aspiring primary school teacher needs to understand. Written directly for initial teacher education students, this textbook supports classroom practice and provides a broad survey of key aspects of primary science teaching including: the role of science in the curriculum, communication and literacy in science teaching, science outside the classroom, teaching science to all, transitional issues, and assessment.
