Download or read book Early Science Education Goals and Process Related Quality Criteria for Science Teaching written by Yvonne Anders and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific contributions authored by distinguished experts from the field of early education are published periodically within the framework of the series Scientific Studies on the Work of the “Haus der kleinen Forscher” Foundation. This publication series serves to foster informed dialogue between the Foundation, scientists, and practitioners with the aim of giving all early childhood education and care centres, after-school centres, and primary schools in Germany scientifically sound support in fulfilling their early education mandate. This fifth volume in the series focuses on goals of science education at the level of the children, the early childhood professionals, and the pedagogical staff at after-school centres and primary schools, and on process-related quality criteria for science teaching at pre-primary and primary level. In their expert reports, Yvonne Anders, Ilonca Hardy, Sabina Pauen, Beate Sodian, and Mirjam Steffensky specify pedagogical content dimensions of the goals of early science education at pre-primary and primary school age. In addition to theoretically underpinning these goals, the authors present instruments for their assessment. In his expert report, Jörg Ramseger formulates ten quality criteria for science teaching. Early childhood professionals and pedagogical staff at after-school centres and primary schools can draw on these process-related criteria when planning lessons and conducting self-evaluations of science learning opportunities at pre-primary and primary level. The concluding chapter of the volume describes the implementation of these expert recommendations in the substantive offerings of, and the accompanying research on, the “Haus der kleinen Forscher“ Foundation.

Download or read book Exploring Intersectionality and Women in STEM written by Balderas, Luz Idalia and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A persistent challenge infects the vast setting of academic pursuits; the enduring gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Despite incremental progress, women continue to face formidable obstacles, ranging from entrenched stereotypes to institutional oversights. The urgency of addressing this issue cannot be overstated, as evidenced by UNESCO's revelation that less than 30% of the world's researchers and scientists are women. Exploring Intersectionality and Women in STEM seizes this pivotal moment, unraveling the complexities of the gender gap in STEM and daring to propose transformative solutions. This book is not just an analysis of disparities; it is a dynamic and initiative-taking guide for researchers, STEM students, and practitioners. By immersing oneself in its pages, the reader becomes an agent of change, armed with insights into life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and health sciences. Through a transdisciplinary lens, the book illuminates a path toward a more inclusive and equitable future.
