Teaching And Learning Science: A Guide To Recent Research And Its Applications

There is increasingly wide agreement amongst teachers, researchers, advisers and policy-makers that both teaching and research will benefit from the two activities being brought closer together. But that is more easily said than done. Hard-pressed practitioners can hardly be expected constantly to review dozens of conference papers, journals and other publications - and such sources are in any case not always accessibly written.

This unique book synthesizes the relevant research findings for the profession and brings out the implications for the quality of teaching and learning. Whether you are a teacher looking to improve your practice through applying the latest thinking in your subject or a researcher searching for a concise review of the literature, Teaching and Learning Science will prove indispensable.
