Nature of Science for Social Justice (Science: Philosophy, History and Education)
by Hagop A. Yacoubian Lena HanssonThis edited volume brings closer two contemporary science education research areas: Nature of Science (NOS) and Social Justice (SJ). It starts a dialogue on the characteristics of NOS for SJ with the purpose of advancing the existing discussion and creating new avenues for research. Using a variety of approaches and perspectives, the authors of the different chapters engage in a dialogue on the construct of NOS for SJ, its characteristics, as well as ways of addressing it in science classrooms. Issues addressed are related to why a school science aiming at SJ should address NOS; what NOS-related content, skills and attitudes form the basis when aiming at SJ; and how school science can address NOS for SJ. Through a set of theoretical and empirical chapters, the authors suggest answers, but they also pose new questions on what NOS for SJ can mean, and what issues need to be taken into consideration in future research and practice.
Nature of Science in General Chemistry Textbooks
by Arelys Maza Mansoor NiazResearch in science education has recognized the importance of history and philosophy of science (HPS). Nature of science (NOS) is considered to be an essential part of HPS with important implications for teaching science. The role played by textbooks in developing students' informed conceptions of NOS has been a source of considerable interest for science educators. In some parts of the world, textbooks become the curriculum and determine to a great extent what is taught and learned in the classroom. Given this background and interest, this monograph has evaluated NOS in university level general chemistry textbooks published in U.S.A. Most textbooks in this study provided little insight with respect to the nine criteria used for evaluating NOS. Some of the textbooks, however, inevitably refer to HPS and thus provide guidelines for future textbooks. A few of the textbooks go into considerable detail to present the atomic models of Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr and wave mechanical to illustrate the tentative nature of scientific theories --- an important NOS aspect. These results lead to the question: Are we teaching science as practiced by scientists? An answer to this question can help us to understand the importance of NOS, by providing students an HPS-based environment, so that they too (just like the scientists) feel the thrill and excitement of discovering new things. This monograph provides students and teachers guidelines for introducing various aspects of NOS, based on historical episodes.
Nature of Science in Science Instruction: Rationales and Strategies (Science: Philosophy, History and Education)
by William F. McComasThis book offers a comprehensive introduction to Nature of Science (NOS), one of the most important aspects of science teaching and learning, and includes tested strategies for teaching aspects of the NOS in a variety of instructional settings. In line with the recommendations in the field to include NOS in all plans for science instruction, the book provides an accessible resource of background information on NOS, rationales for teaching these targeted NOS aspects, and – most importantly – how to teach about the nature of science in specific instructional contexts. The first section examines the why and what of NOS, its nature, and what research says about how to teach NOS in science settings. The second section focuses on extending knowledge about NOS to question of scientific method, theory-laden observation, the role of experiments and observations and distinctions between science, engineering and technology. The dominant theme of the remainder of the book is a focus on teaching aspects of NOS applicable to a wide variety of instructional environments.

Naturerfahrung und Bildung
by Ulrich Gebhard Armin Lude Andrea Möller Alexandra MoormannNaturerfahrungen haben positive Wirkungen auf die seelische Entwicklung, Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden und können geradezu als ein Element eines „guten Lebens“ interpretiert werden. In diesem Buch wird dieser Zusammenhang auf Lern- und Bildungskontexte bezogen. Bei Bildungsprozessen geht es nicht nur um die Übernahme von relevanten Inhalten, sondern um eine Berührung, Konfrontation und Transformation des Subjekts. Die zentralen Annahmen dieses Buches sind erstens, dass eben dies durch Naturerfahrungen eröffnet werden kann, und zweitens, dass dies auch (fachliche) Lernprozesse positiv beeinflussen kann.
Naturerleben und Reflexion: Eine qualitative Untersuchung zur Erforschung von Naturerfahrungen Jugendlicher im schulischen Kontext
by Katharina FrüchtnichtKatharina Früchtnicht untersucht auf Grundlage von Kleingruppendiskussionen mit Jugendlichen die Bedeutung von Natur und Erlebnissen in der Natur, die Jugendliche diesen beimessen. Zudem wird eine auf Reflexion abzielende Versprachlichung von Erlebnissen in der Natur sowie deren Bedeutung für die Erfahrungsprozesse der Jugendlichen analysiert. Für eine theoretische Klärung des Begriffs ‚Naturerfahrung‘ und der Schärfung eines Reflexionsverständnisses bezieht sich die Arbeit auf den Erfahrungsbegriff von John Dewey sowie auf den didaktischen Ansatz der Alltagsphantasien. Ausgehend von den Ergebnissen der Analyse plädiert die Arbeit für eine pädagogische Praxis, die den Jugendlichen in ihrem Erleben in der Natur ein hohes Maß an Freiheit und Selbstbestimmtheit ermöglicht und gleichzeitig angeleitete Reflexionsanlässe bietet.
