Download or read book Making it tangible Learning outcomes in science education written by Sascha Bernholt and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the central features in current educational reforms is a focus on learning outcomes. Many countries have established or revised standards to describe what teachers are supposed to teach and students are expected to learn. More recently, the emphasis has shifted to considerations of how standards can be operationalized in order to make the outcomes of educational efforts more tangible. This book is the result of a symposium held in Kiel, that was arranged by two science education groups, one at the IPN (Leibniz-Institute for Science and Mathematics Education at the University of Kiel) in Germany and the other at the University of York, UK. The seminar brought together renowned experts from 12 countries with different notions of the nature and quality of learning outcomes. The aim was to clarify central conceptions and approaches for a better understanding among the international science education community. The book is divided into five parts. In Part A, the organizers set the scene, describing the rationale for arranging the symposium. Part B provides a broad overview about different approaches, challenges, and pitfalls on the road to the clarification of meaningful and fruitful learning outcomes. The set of papers in Part C provides deep insights into different, although comparable approaches which aim to frame, to assess, and to promote learning and learning outcomes in science education. Smaller projects are presented as well as broad, coordinated national programs. The papers in Part D outline the individual historical development from different national perspectives, reflecting the deficits and problems that led to current reforms. Finally, a summary of the organizers analyses the conclusions from different vantage points.

Download or read book Educating the next generation of scientists written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-11-12 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department for Education has made good progress in improving take-up and achievement in areas such as A-Level maths and GCSE Triple Science. However, there has been less success in increasing the number of science teachers, improving take-up of A-Level physics and raising the standards of school science facilities. There is evidence that pupils taking Triple Science GCSE are more likely than those studying combined science to choose science subjects at A-Level and to achieve higher grades. While starting from a low base, pupil take-up of the three individual sciences has increased by almost 150 per cent in the last five years. However, by June 2009, almost half of secondary schools still did not offer Triple Science. Take-up of chemistry and maths A-Level has already exceeded the targets for 2014 set by the Department, but take-up of physics A-Level has increased only slightly since 2005-06. Achievement increased across all science subjects and maths at A-Level between 2002-03 and 2009-10. Until recently, the Department had a target to ensure that all school laboratories were up to a good or excellent standard by 2010. However, it did not collect routine data to measure progress against this target, and the most recent research available found that science facilities were inadequate in around a quarter of secondary schools. Although recruitment of science graduates to train as specialist teachers has increased, the Department is not on course to meet the targets set by the previous Government for recruiting more mathematics and physics teachers by 2014.
