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.

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 Science and Art of Dreaming

The Science and Art of Dreaming

The Science and Art of Dreaming is an innovative text that reviews the neuroscience and psychology of how dreams are produced how they are recalled and their relationship to waking life events and concerns of the dreamer. Featuring beautiful original artwork based on dream representations the book delves deeply into what happens when we dream the works of art we produce when asleep and the relevance of dreaming to science art and film. The book examines the biological psychological and social causes of dreaming and includes recent advances in the study of nightmares and lucid dreaming. It shows how sleep can process memories and that dreams may reflect these processes but also that dreams can elicit self-disclosure and empathy when they are shared after waking. The playfulness originality and metaphorical content of dreams also link them to art and especially to the cultural movement that has most valued dreams – Surrealism. The book details the history of scientific research into dreams including a re-reading of the two dreams of Freud’s patient the feminist hero Dora and also the history of Surrealism and of films that draw on dreams and dream-like processes. Each chapter starts with a dream narrative and accompanying painting of the dream to highlight aspects of each of the chapter themes. This highly engaging book will be relevant to researchers students and lecturers in the fields of psychology neuroscience psychoanalysis consciousness and social evolution. It will also be of value within the study and practice of visual art design and film and will be of interest to the general reader and anyone who holds a personal interest in their own dreams.

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.

The Art and Science of Embodied Research Design Concepts Methods and Cases

The Art and Science of Embodied Research Design Concepts Methods and Cases

The Art and Science of Embodied Research Design: Concepts Methods and Cases offers some of the nascent perspectives that situate embodiment as a necessary element in human research. This edited volume brings together philosophical foundations of embodiment research with application of embodied methods from several disciplines. The book is divided into two sections. Part I Concepts in Embodied Research Design suggests ways that embodied epistemology may bring deeper understanding to current research theory and describes the ways in which embodiment is an integral part of the research process. In Part II Methods and Cases chapters propose novel ways to operationalize embodied data in the research process. The section is divided into four sub-sections: Somatic Systems of Analysis Movement Systems of Analysis Embodied Interviews and Observations and Creative and Mixed Methods. Each chapter proposes a method case; an example of a previously used research method that exemplifies the way in which embodiment is used in a study. As such it can be used as scaffold for designing embodied methods that suits the researcher’s needs. It is suited for many fields of study such as psychology sociology behavioral science anthropology education and arts-based research. It will be useful for graduate coursework in somatic studies or as a supplemental text for courses in traditional research design. | The Art and Science of Embodied Research Design Concepts Methods and Cases

Legal Persuasion A Rhetorical Approach to the Science

Legal Persuasion A Rhetorical Approach to the Science

This book develops a central theme: legal persuasion results from making and breaking mental connections. This concept of making connections inspired the authors to take a rhetorical approach to the science of legal persuasion. That singular approach resulted in the integration of research from cognitive science with classical and contemporary rhetorical theory and the application of these two disciplines to the real-life practice of persuasion. The combination of rhetorical analysis and cognitive science yields a new way of seeing and understanding legal persuasion one that promises theoretical and practical gains. The work has three main functions. First it brings together the leading models of persuasion from cognitive science and rhetorical theory blurring boundaries and leveraging connections between the often-separate spheres of science and rhetoric. Second it illustrates this persuasive synthesis by working through concrete examples of persuasion demonstrating how to apply this new approach to the taking apart and the putting together of effective legal arguments. In this way the book demonstrates the advantages of a deeper and more nuanced understanding of persuasion. Third the volume assesses and explains why how and when certain persuasive methods and techniques are more effective than others. The book is designed to appeal to scholars in law rhetoric persuasion science and psychology; to students learning the practice of law; and to judges and practicing lawyers who engage in persuasion. | Legal Persuasion A Rhetorical Approach to the Science

Routledge Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology

Routledge Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology

Communicating science and technology is a high priority of many research and policy institutions a concern of many other private and public bodies and an established subject of training and education. In the past few decades the field has developed and expanded significantly both in terms of professional practice and in terms of research and reflection. At the same time particularly in recent years interactions between science and society have become a topic of heated public and political debates touching issues like quality and credibility of information trust in science and scientific actors and institutions and the roles of experts in crises and emergencies. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of this fast-growing and increasingly important area through an examination of research done on the main actors issues and arenas involved. The third edition of the Handbook brings the reviews up-to-date and deepens the analysis. As well as substantial re-working of many chapters it includes four new chapters addressing enduring themes (science publics science-media theories) recent trends (art-science interactions) and new proposed insights on science communication as culture and as 'the social conversation around science'. New contributors are added to the group of leading scholars in the field featured in the previous editions. The Handbook is a student-friendly resource but its scope and expert contributions will equally appeal to practitioners and professionals in science communication. Combining the perspectives of different disciplines and of different geographical and cultural contexts this original text provides an interdisciplinary as well as a global approach to public communication of science and technology.
