Books in the Research in Science Education series

This title provides an introduction and overview of the relationship between education policy, research and professional practice in science education, as well as perspectives on the relationship between science education policy, research and professional practice for the 21st century.

Addressing the expectations towards the science standards of various stakeholders, this book also investigates how the science standards have been translated into practice at the K-12 school district level, addressing issues around professional development, curriculum, assessment/evaluation, and accountability.

Focuses on research contributions challenging the basic assumptions, ways of thinking, and practices commonly accepted in physics education. This volume is a first step in thinking through what physics teaching and physics learning might address in teacher preparation programs, in-service professional development programs, and in classrooms.

Examines the relationship between science inquiry and service learning. Its primary intent is to bridge the gaps between research and practice. The volume is meant to be useful to science and service learning researchers and practitioners such as teachers and administrators because it provides information about strategies to integrate service learning into the science curriculum and instruction.
