Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book examines and synthesizes research on a wide variety of contemporary theoretical and practical trends and issues about including inquiry and NOS in science teaching, science teacher education, and research in science education. ... an appropriate resource book for science teachers, science teacher educators, science education researchers, and graduate students. Both practical and theoretical issues around teaching science as inquiry and teaching about the NOS are examined thoroughly." (Mustafa Cakir, Science & Education, June, 2010)
