Evolution Education Re-considered cover

This collection presents research-based interventions using existing knowledge to produce new pedagogies to teach evolution to learners more successfully, whether in schools or elsewhere. ‘Success’ here is measured as cognitive gains, as acceptance of evolution or an increased desire to continue to learn about it. Aside from introductory and concluding chapters by the editors, each chapter consists of a research-based intervention intended to enable evolution to be taught successfully; all these interventions have been researched and evaluated by the chapters’ authors and the findings are presented along with discussions of the implications. The result is an important compendium of studies from around the word conducted both inside and outside of school. The volume is unique and provides an essential reference point and platform for future work for the foreseeable future. 

“This book makes sense for anyone involved in the teaching of biology. ... The text is exciting because it stimulates creativity to devise new ways of teaching. ... This book is very useful to go against the confusion about the acceptance and understanding of biological evolution; as I mentioned previously, each context provides situations that lead us to imagine other ways of teaching and learning biological evolution.” (J. William Cruz Castillo, Science & Education, Vol. 33 (2), 2024)
