Assessment is a fundamental issue in research in science education, in curriculum development and implementation in science education as well as in science teaching and learning. This book takes a broad and deep view of research involving assessment in science education, across contexts and cultures (from whole countries to individual classrooms) and across forms and purposes (from assessment in the service of student learning to policy implications of system wide assessment).
This book will cover a wide range of approaches to applying social media in teaching arts and science courses.
Part one, SOCIAL LEARNING AND NETWORKING APPROACHES TO TEACHING ARTS & SCIENCE, covers collaborative social media in writing courses, the use of wikis as a platform for co-creation of digital content, and powerful data sharing.
Part two, SOCIAL MEDIA PEDAGOGIES FOR THE FUTURE OF ARTS & SCIENCE LEARNING, explores the use of content posting in public social media forums as an enabler of critical reflection, as will the use of social media to augment face-to-face meetings.
Science teacher educators prepare and provide professional development for teachers at all grade levels. They seek to improve conditions in classroom teaching and learning, professional development, and teacher recruitment and retention.
