Teaching And Learning Science

This text aims to extend and unify late-1990s debate and research about science education in several disparate fields, including philosophy of science, cognitive psychology and motivation theory. Through an approach based upon the personalization of learning and the politicization of the curriculum and classroom, the text asserts that the complex goal of critical scientific literacy can be achieved by all students, including those who traditionally underachieve in science or opt out of science education at the earliest opportunity.
