Analysing Exemplary Science Teaching

· How might exemplary practice be represented by teachers’ narratives?· How might such representations be analysed?· How might theory and practice be related?  Analysing Exemplary Science Teaching is a text that seeks to combine educational theory and practice through analysis of a series of teachers’ descriptions of ‘exemplary’ science lessons. The book comprises edited chapters with a common goal; to explore features of high-quality learning and teaching in the sciences. Early chapters describe classroom practice written by well-respected and insightful classroom teachers and students. Later chapters, authored by scholars of international standing, have a theoretical focus and utilise educational theory to discuss, define and analyse documented practice. A unique feature is the use of annotated comments to cross-reference descriptions of practice with theoretical analysis. The text has an international flavour; the lessons described and analysed come from middle and secondary schools in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom

Controversy in Science Museums: Re-imagining Exhibition Spaces and Practice

Navas Iannini, Ana Maria

Controversy in Science Museumsfocuses on exhibitions that approach sensitive or controversial topics. With a keen sense of past and current practices, Pedretti and Navas Iannini examine and re-imagine how museums and science centres can create exhibitions that embrace criticality and visitor agency. Drawing on international case studies and voices from visitors and museum professionals, as well as theoretical insights about scientific literacy and science communication, the authors explore the textured notion of controversy and the challenges and opportunities practitioners may encounter as they plan for and develop controversial science exhibitions. They assert that science museums can no longer serve as mere repositories for objects or sites for transmitting facts, but that they should&nbsp;also become spaces for conversations that are inclusive, critical, and socially responsible. Controversy in Science Museumsprovides an invaluable resource for museum professionals who are interested in creating and hosting controversial exhibitions, and for scholars and students working in the fields of museum studies, science communication, and social studies of science. Anyone wishing to engage in an examination and critique of the changing roles of science museums will find this book relevant, timely, and thought provoking.
