Mit diesem Buch möchten wir euch Ideen und erste Anleitungen geben, mit denen ihr selbst weiterforschen könnt. Nach einer ersten Erklärung folgen mehrere Versuche, mit denen ihr eine chemische Untersuchungsmethode trainieren könnt – die euch fit machen soll, um dann euren eigenen Ideen nachgehen zu können. Für die Versuche benötigt ihr zum Teil besondere Materialien, die man aber alle käuflich erwerben kann. Legt los!

Glimpses into Primary School Teacher Education in South Africa (Perspectives on Education in Africa)
by Sarah GravettThis book explores the current landscape of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in primary schools in South Africa. Considering recent policy directives and initiatives, it highlights the dilemmas of ITE for the primary school and gives a thorough account of innovations and initiatives to improve ITE. The book presents what works best for quality preparation of teachers in the Global South, where many children rely on their teachers and school life to break the cycle of poverty. Chapters draw on evidence from workplace learning, pre-service study, and primary school teacher education policy to highlight examples of promising change in teacher education in South Africa, addressing the clichés of "theory versus practice" head-on. This book successfully brings out the challenging aspects of teacher education for childhood learning which has otherwise been regarded as the softer option for a career in education. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of teacher education, African education, educational policy, international education, and comparative education.
