Challenges in Science Education by Gregory P. Thomas Book PDF Summary
This edited volume focuses on challenges facing science education across three areas: curriculum, teacher education, and pedagogy. Integrating a diverse range of perspectives from both emerging and established scholars in the field, chapters consider the need for measured responses to issues in society that have become pronounced in recent years, including lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic, the environment, and persisting challenges in STEM teaching and learning. In doing so, the editors and their authors chart a potential course for existing and future possibilities and probabilities for science education. Gregory P. Thomas is Professor of Science Education at the University of Alberta, Canada. His scholarly interests include developing and exploring the intersections of metacognition, learning environments, and science education to enhance classroom practices. Helen J. Boon is Associate Professor at James Cook University, Australia. Boon teaches educational psychology and research methods, while her research focuses on climate change education, resilience to disasters, culturally responsive pedagogy and ethics.
