The Art of Teaching Science A comprehensive guide to the teaching of secondary school science

The Art of Teaching Science A comprehensive guide to the teaching of secondary school science

The Art of Teaching Science has proven itself to be one of the most popular introductory texts for Australian pre-service and in-service teachers providing guidance on engaging students and helping develop scientifically literate citizens. Beginning with an examination of the nature of science constructivist and socio-cultural views of teaching and learning and contemporary science curricula in Australian schools the expert authors go on to explore effective teaching and learning strategies approaches to assessment and provide advice on the use of ICT in the classroom. Fully revised and updated this edition also reflects the introduction of the AITSL professional standards for teachers and integrates them throughout the text. New chapters explore: - a range of teaching strategies including explicit instruction active learning and problem-based learning; - the effective integration of STEM in schools; - approaches to differentiation in science education; and- contemporary uses of ICT to improve student learning. Those new to this text will find it is deliberately written in user-friendly language. Each chapter stands alone but collectively they form a coherent picture of the art (in the sense of creative craft) and science (as in possessing the knowledge understanding and skills) required to effectively teach secondary school science. 'Helping each new generation of school science teachers as they begin their careers is crucial to education. This is the updated third edition of this valuable textbook. It contains a wonderful range of inspirational chapters. All science teachers not only those at the start of the profession would benefit from it in Australia and beyond. 'Michael J.

The New Behaviorism Foundations of Behavioral Science

The New Behaviorism Foundations of Behavioral Science

This ground-breaking book presents a brief history of behaviorism along with a critical analysis of radical behaviorism its philosophy and its applications to social issues. This third edition is much expanded and includes a new chapter on experimental method as well as longer sections on the philosophy of behaviorism. It offers experimental and theoretical examples of a new approach to behavioral science. It provides an alternative philosophical and empirical foundation for a psychology that has rather lost its way. The mission of the book is to help steer experimental psychology away from its current undisciplined indulgence in mental life toward the core of science which is an economical description of nature: parsimony explain much with little. The elementary philosophical distinction between private and public events even biology evolution and animal psychology are all ignored by much contemporary cognitive psychology. The failings of radical behaviorism as well as a philosophically defective cognitive psychology point to the need for a new theoretical behaviorism which can deal with problems such as consciousness that have been either ignored evaded or muddled by existing approaches. This new behaviorism provides a unified framework for the science of behavior that can be applied both to the laboratory and to broader practical issues such as law and punishment the health-care system and teaching. | The New Behaviorism Foundations of Behavioral Science

Routledge Handbook of Art Science and Technology Studies

Routledge Handbook of Art Science and Technology Studies

Art and science work is experiencing a dramatic rise coincident with burgeoning Science and Technology Studies (STS) interest in this area. Science has played the role of muse for the arts inspiring imaginative reconfigurations of scientific themes and exploring their cultural resonance. Conversely the arts are often deployed in the service of science communication illustration and popularization. STS scholars have sought to resist the instrumentalization of the arts by the sciences emphasizing studies of theories and practices across disciplines and the distinctive and complementary contributions of each. The manifestation of this commonality of creative and epistemic practices is the emergence of Art Science and Technology Studies (ASTS) as the interdisciplinary exploration of art–science. This handbook defines the modes practices crucial literature and research interests of this emerging field. It explores the questions methodologies and theoretical implications of scholarship and practice that arise at the intersection of art and STS. Further ASTS demonstrates how the arts are intervening in STS. Drawing on methods and concepts derived from STS and allied fields including visual studies performance studies design studies science communication and aesthetics and the knowledge of practicing artists and curators ASTS is predicated on the capacity to see both art and science as constructions of human knowledge- making. Accordingly it posits a new analytical vernacular enabling new ways of seeing understanding and thinking critically about the world. This handbook provides scholars and practitioners already familiar with the themes and tensions of art–science with a means of connecting across disciplines. It proposes organizing principles for thinking about art–science across the sciences social sciences humanities and arts. Encounters with art and science become meaningful in relation to practices and materials manifest as perceptual habits background knowledge and cultural norms. As the chapters in this handbook demonstrate a variety of STS tools can be brought to bear on art–science so that systematic research can be conducted on this unique set of knowledge-making practices. | Routledge Handbook of Art Science and Technology Studies

The History of Science and the New Humanism

The History of Science and the New Humanism

In this classic work the foremost historian of science in our time George Sarton sums up his reflections on the role of science and of the humanities in our culture. Voicing his opposition to the old-fashioned humanists on the one hand and to the 'uneducated' men of science and technicians on the other Sarton points out to the former that the humanities without scientific are essentially incomplete. He warns the latter that without history without philosophy without arts and letters without a living religion human life on this planet would cease to be worthwhile. After outlining his 'Faith of a Humanist' in the opening section Sarton goes on to analyze 'The History of Science and the History of Civilization ' to discuss the progress of scientific thought since ancient times in 'East and West ' and to propose the solution for the educational and cultural crisis of our time in 'The New Humanism' and in 'The History of Science and the Problems of Today. ' He concludes not only that science is a source of technological development that has changed the face of the earth and has convulsed our lives for good and evil but that it nonetheless affords the best means of understanding the world its people and the multitude of their relationships. 'Science is the conscience of mankind. 'Included in this edition is Robert M. Merton's address before the Sarton Centennial meeting of November 1984. It is a stunning tour de force in its own right providing insights into Sarton teaching and research at Harvard in the 1930s and the personal interaction between Sarton the mentor and Merton the pupil. The essay supplements May Sarton's earlier 'Informal Portrait of George Sarton. ' | The History of Science and the New Humanism

A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness

A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness

This book attempts to advance Donald Griffin's vision of the final crowning chapter of the Darwinian revolution by developing a philosophy for the science of animal consciousness. It advocates a Darwinian bottom-up approach that treats consciousness as a complex evolved and multidimensional phenomenon in nature rather than a mysterious all-or-nothing property immune to the tools of science and restricted to a single species. The so-called emergence of a science of consciousness in the 1990s has at best been a science of human consciousness. This book aims to advance a true Darwinian science of consciousness in which its evolutionary origin function and phylogenetic diversity are moved from the field’s periphery to its very centre thus enabling us to integrate consciousness into an evolutionary view of life. Accordingly this book has two objectives: (i) to argue for the need and possibility of an evolutionary bottom-up approach that addresses the problem of consciousness in terms of the evolutionary origins of a new ecological lifestyle that made consciousness worth having and (ii) to articulate a thesis and beginnings of a theory of the place of consciousness as a complex evolved phenomenon in nature that can help us to answer the question of what it is like to be a bat an octopus or a crow. A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness will appeal to researchers and advanced students interested in advancing our understanding of animal minds as well as anyone with a keen interest in how we can develop a science of animal consciousness.

Beyond New Atheism and Theism A Sociology of Science Secularism and Religiosity

Beyond New Atheism and Theism A Sociology of Science Secularism and Religiosity

This book addresses the flaws and fallacies in the grounds for atheism and theism – flaws and fallacies that contaminate the arguments of non-believers and believers alike. Focusing on the highly visible debates between the New Atheists – such as Christopher Hitchens Daniel Dennett Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris on the one hand – and their main theist opponents – including Frank Turek John Lennox and William Lane Craig on the other – it approaches these debates from the perspective of the sociology of religion and science. With entire worldviews at stake it explores various failings in the logic language and knowledge of the protagonists revealing mistaken and oversimplified understandings of both science itself and the sociocultural and symbolic roles of religion on both sides. Advancing a secular and humanist worldview unburdened by the problems that beset both atheism and theism the author argues for a sociological perspective on religion God and science as a practice together with a critical realist approach to the nature of the real world as we experience it. Beyond New Atheism and Theism will therefore appeal to scholars and students of sociology and cultural studies with interests in the conflicting worldviews of science and religion. | Beyond New Atheism and Theism A Sociology of Science Secularism and Religiosity
