| Summary |
"The Nature of Science is highly topical among science teacher educators and researchers. Increasingly, it is a mandated topic in state curriculum documents. This book draws together recent research on Nature of Science studies within a historical and philosophical framework suitable for students and teacher educators. Traditional science curricula and textbooks present science as a finished product. Taking a different approach, this book provides a glimpse of "science in the making" -- scientific practice imbued with arguments, controversies, and competition among rival theories and explanations"-- Provided by publisher. |
