Learning Through School Science Investigation cover

This book explores teaching and learning through science investigation and practical work. It draws upon two representative case studies from New Zealand and examines what students are learning from science investigation; in addition, it identifies and describes ways in which teachers can make changes that benefit student learning when given time to reflect and respond to research literature and findings. The book illustrates how teaching through science investigations in ways that are informed by research can lead to positive learning outcomes for students. As such, it offers valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and educators with an interest in learning through science investigation.

“Each chapter provides clear reference points for the intended audience (teachers, preservice teachers, researchers, and educators) regarding teachers’ practice and the ongoing challenges in science investigation. The analysis of these practices is supported by extensive research literature. ... there are interesting and thought-provoking “Questions to Consider”. ... This book is an important addition to the literature and a valuable resource to all lifelong learners in science education, namely, science teacher educators, science education researchers, science teachers and pre-service science teachers.” (Senka Henderson, Curriculum Perspectives, Vol. 40, 2020)
