Description

This book addresses a very important aspect of science education and science education research respectively: The research-based development of Teaching�Learning Sequences.�The authors elaborate on important theoretical issues as well as aspects of the design and iterative evolution of a several Teaching Learning Sequences in a modern scientific and technological field which is socially relevant and educationally significant. The book is divided into two parts. The first part includes a collection of papers discussing the theoretical foundations and characteristics of selected theoretical frameworks related to designing�Teaching Learning Sequences,�elaborate on common issues and draw on the wider perspective of design research in education. The second part�contains a collection of papers presenting case studies concerning the design, implementation, iterative evolution and evaluation of Teaching and Learning Sequences in a variety of educational�context. The case studies�deal with a more or less new subject matter, a part of modern interdisciplinary�science, material science, which enhances�the connections between science and technology. From a wider perspective the case studies draw on existing theoretical ideas on inquiry in various contexts and provide powerful suggestions for contextualized innovation in a variety of school systems and existing practices.Typham this is the title: Iterative Design of Teaching-Learning Sequences Introducing the Science of Materials in European Schools
