Reviews and Testimonials

A theoretical foundation and conceptual frameworks; modeling, simulation, and games; curriculum innovations; and evaluation and assessment issues are the major themes as education scholars, most specializing in science education, ponder how to pass scientific knowledge and practice to another generation. Among the topics are self-regulated learning as a method to develop scientific thinking, integrating the products and practices of science to improve science education, teachers and teaching in game-based learning theory and practice, promoting the physical sciences among middle school urban youth through informal learning experiences, and measuring and facilitating highly effective inquiry-based teaching and learning in science classrooms.
