Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biology is where many of science's most exciting and relevant advances are taking place. Yet, many students leave school without having learned basic biology principles, and few are excited enough to continue in the sciences. Why is biology education failing? How can reform be accomplished? This book presents information and expert views from curriculum developers, teachers, and others, offering suggestions about major issues in biology education: what should we teach in biology and how should it be taught? How can we measure results? How should teachers be educated and certified? What obstacles are blocking reform?
Download or read book Model Science Teacher Preparation Programs written by Jon Pedersen and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume will focus on a much need comparison of science teacher preparation from around the world. In recent times (last 5 years) much has been written and communicated both in the popular press and within the annals of research oriented publications about the performance of students international in math and science. Although not a new discussion or debate, many countries are held as exemplars in how they educate their youth and subsequently how they educate their teachers. Given this situation and given the fact that there is ample evidence to show that some countries youth perform better on tests such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and we know that teacher significantly contribute to the performance of students, it is time that we look at the specific attributes of teacher preparation worldwide. Although this volume will not look at every country that is in the comparator group for PISA and other measures, we have contacted over 18 potential authors in the same number of countries in which there is ample evidence to show successes regarding student performance and quality teacher preparation programs. The intent of the book is not just to report on the “success” of each nation. Rather the intent is to ask authors to take a critical look at the process by which science teachers are educated and share with the reader both the positive and negative aspects of such preparation programs. For all 15 contributed chapters, the editors have analyzed each and from this constructed from the “data” an analysis and report in a final chapter on the exemplary qualities from various nations and make specific recommendations regarding science teacher preparation for the global community.

Download or read book Undergraduate Science Education of Pre service Teachers written by Holly DeBernardo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project assessed high school science teachers' perceptions of (a) their abilities to teach science and (b) learning experiences in their own undergraduate science and education courses. Previous studies have shown that the ways in which teachers learn science often determines how they will teach science. This research points to the need for developing teacher education programs that will integrate undergraduate education and science courses in the preparation of secondary science teachers. The data collected in this project contributes to this research base and calls for changes in teacher education programs based upon teachers' reflections upon their own experiences in learning science as an undergraduate. A Likert questionnaire was administered to teachers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, consisting of two subscales: teachers' perceptions of the quality of their undergraduate preparation and their self-efficacy. Two of these teachers were interviewed in order to further understand their survey responses. This study was designed to explore the differences in content preparation of teachers. Analysis focused on whether there were any correlations between Ohio and Pennsylvania, how the states' teacher education programs compare and whether teachers who graduated from Pennsylvania have a higher self-efficacy score than those that graduated from Ohio colleges and universities. Pennsylvania requires teachers to earn a Bachelor of Science in their subject area, whereas Ohio teachers major in secondary education and, therefore, take fewer courses in their content area. Recommendations for further research, which include a more in-depth look at perceived abilities that high school science teachers have about their teaching, are included.

Download or read book Teaching Secondary School Biology written by Emmanuel Toili and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edition of the book that focuses on equipping the pre-service and the practicing teachers of biology with the current knowledge and skills in biology education. The book is a response to the demand for such a book by practicing teachers, teacher trainees, and trainers in secondary school biology education.The book targets students training to become biology teachers at the Diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The book will also be a useful resource material for practicing teachers of biology in secondary schools and quality assurance officers and teacher trainers in universities and colleges. The book is based on the premise that potential teachers of biology are fairly well grounded in the various courses in botany and zoology, which provide more advanced biological knowledge than what is prescribed in the syllabi for secondary schools. The teachers are therefore required to adopt the advanced knowledge to suit the students in secondary schools. This requires the teachers to use professional approaches that facilitate the learning of biology notwithstanding the advanced biological knowledge on the ground. This book is about how we can help learners understand and appreciate the science of life.The book is presented in a simple, clear and Standard English language augmented with diagrammatic illustrations, pictures, and tables that are intended to motivate the reader. The book has also several tasks and exercises to get the readers to reflect on what they read and to further extend their knowledge. In addition, the book provides a summary of the information at the end of each chapter to help the reader recapitulate the content of the chapter.

Download or read book Science Teachers Learning written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, many states are adopting the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) or are revising their own state standards in ways that reflect the NGSS. For students and schools, the implementation of any science standards rests with teachers. For those teachers, an evolving understanding about how best to teach science represents a significant transition in the way science is currently taught in most classrooms and it will require most science teachers to change how they teach. That change will require learning opportunities for teachers that reinforce and expand their knowledge of the major ideas and concepts in science, their familiarity with a range of instructional strategies, and the skills to implement those strategies in the classroom. Providing these kinds of learning opportunities in turn will require profound changes to current approaches to supporting teachers' learning across their careers, from their initial training to continuing professional development. A teacher's capability to improve students' scientific understanding is heavily influenced by the school and district in which they work, the community in which the school is located, and the larger professional communities to which they belong. Science Teachers' Learning provides guidance for schools and districts on how best to support teachers' learning and how to implement successful programs for professional development. This report makes actionable recommendations for science teachers' learning that take a broad view of what is known about science education, how and when teachers learn, and education policies that directly and indirectly shape what teachers are able to learn and teach. The challenge of developing the expertise teachers need to implement the NGSS presents an opportunity to rethink professional learning for science teachers. Science Teachers' Learning will be a valuable resource for classrooms, departments, schools, districts, and professional organizations as they move to new ways to teach science.
Download or read book Designing and Teaching the Secondary Science Methods Course written by Aaron J. Sickel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The improvement of science education is a common goal worldwide. Countries not only seek to increase the number of individuals pursuing careers in science, but to improve scientific literacy among the general population. As the teacher is one of the greatest influences on student learning, a focus on the preparation of science teachers is essential in achieving these outcomes. A critical component of science teacher education is the methods course, where pedagogy and content coalesce. It is here that future science teachers begin to focus simultaneously on the knowledge, dispositions and skills for teaching secondary science in meaningful and effective ways. This book provides a comparison of secondary science methods courses from teacher education programs all over the world. Each chapter provides detailed descriptions of the national context, course design, teaching strategies, and assessments used within a particular science methods course, and is written by teacher educators who actively research science teacher education. The final chapter provides a synthesis of common themes and unique features across contexts, and offers directions for future research on science methods courses. This book offers a unique combination of ‘behind the scenes’ thinking for secondary science methods course designs along with practical teaching and assessment strategies, and will be a useful resource for teacher educators in a variety of international contexts.
