This lab manual is designed for A Level and first-year undergraduate students of general biology. It is split into 40 separate experiments, all of which have been designed to enhance students' deductive and reasoning powers. Pupils are expected to describe the results of the experiments, reason why they acheived these results and be prepared to explain the biological processes that have occurred. This book is intended for use with any biology text.

Science Teaching and Development Of Thinking

Business & Money

Thomson Learning

To provide future science teachers with the methods and tools to present science, this text integrates new methods and theories with more traditional existing programs to meet the needs of almost every instructor. It encourages personal development of critical-thinking skills in students as well as professional development for the future teacher by encouraging establishment of curriculum guidelines. The text also stresses an active learning environment by utilizing learning cycles and in-depth science investigation activities.

Science Teaching and the Development of Thinking

Wadsworth Publishing

A goal of mine ever since becoming an educational researcher has been to help construct a sound theory to guide instructional practice. For far too long, educational practice has suffered because we have lacked firm instructional guidelines, which in my view should be based on sound psychological theory, which in turn should be based on sound neurological theory. In other words, teachers need to know how to teach and that "how-to-teach" should be based solidly on how people learn and how their brains function. As you will see in this book, my answer to the question of how people learn is that we all learn by spontaneously generating and testing ideas. Idea generating involves analogies and testing requires comparing predicted consequences with actual consequences. We learn this way because the brain is essentially an idea generating and testing machine. But there is more to it than this. The very process ofgenerating and testing ideas results not only in the construction of ideas that work (i. e. , the learning of useful declarative knowledge), but also in improved skill in learning (i. e. , the development of improved procedural knowledge).

Springer

Provides solutions for using inquiry-based teaching while meeting standards This compelling new text practices what it preaches―it uses the inquiry approach to teach the inquiry approach. The book is developed around six key questions: 1. What is science? 2. Why teach science? 3. What is the nature of scientific knowledge? 4. How do scientists construct knowledge? 5. How do people develop effective reasoning patterns? 6. What teaching methods best facilitate scientific knowledge acquisition? Key Features
