Science Learning and Instruction: Taking Advantage of Technology to Promote Knowledge Integration
by Bat-Sheva Eylon Marcia C. LinnScience Learning and Instruction describes advances in understanding the nature of science learning and their implications for the design of science instruction. The authors show how design patterns, design principles, and professional development opportunities coalesce to create and sustain effective instruction in each primary scientific domain: earth science, life science, and physical science. Calling for more in depth and less fleeting coverage of science topics in order to accomplish knowledge integration, the book highlights the importance of designing the instructional materials, the examples that are introduced in each scientific domain, and the professional development that accompanies these materials. It argues that unless all these efforts are made simultaneously, educators cannot hope to improve science learning outcomes. The book also addresses how many policies, including curriculum, standards, guidelines, and standardized tests, work against the goal of integrative understanding, and discusses opportunities to rethink science education policies based on research findings from instruction that emphasizes such understanding.
Science Mapping of Digital Transformation in Business: A Bibliometric Analysis and Research Outlook (SpringerBriefs in Business)
by Cristina Bota-AvramDigital transformation will affect every company or organization sooner or later, regardless of the industry, country, or type of organization. In recent years, this impact has become disruptive, and there is an increasing need for companies to innovate their business models while using various emerging technologies. The key goals of this book are twofold. The first goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of digital transformation in business using various bibliometric indicators, while the second goal is to propose a synthesis of the potential directions and opportunities for future research agenda related to this field of research. The bibliometric analysis of the current state of knowledge published in the field of digital transformation in business over the last 20 years reveals the existence of four major thematic clusters: (1) the digital transformation process, (2) digital technologies, (3) the digital economy, and (4) digital disruption. Based on the content analysis of the most important articles that belonged to each cluster of topics, the book outlines several directions for future research. This makes it a useful resource for researchers interested in the field of digital transformation in business.

Science between Europe and Asia
by Feza Günergun Dhruv RainaThis book explores the various historical and cultural aspects of scientific, medical and technical exchanges that occurred between central Europe and Asia. A number of papers investigate the printing, gunpowder, guncasting, shipbuilding, metallurgical and drilling technologies while others deal with mapping techniques, the adoption of written calculation and mechanical clocks as well as the use of medical techniques such as pulse taking and electrotherapy. While human mobility played a significant role in the exchange of knowledge, translating European books into local languages helped the introduction of new knowledge in mathematical, physical and natural sciences from central Europe to its periphery and to the Middle East and Asian cultures. The book argues that the process of transmission of knowledge whether theoretical or practical was not a simple and one-way process from the donor to the receiver as it is often admitted, but a multi-dimensional and complex cultural process of selection and transformation where ancient scientific and local traditions and elements. The book explores the issue from a different geopolitical perspective, namely not focusing on a singular recipient and several points of distribution, namely the metropolitan centres of science, medicine, and technology, but on regions that are both recipients and distributors and provides new perspectives based on newly investigated material for historical studies on the cross scientific exchanges between different parts of the world.
