This book explores the relationship between research and practice in education. It looks at the extent to which current practice could be said to be informed by knowledge or ideas generated by research and at the extent to which the use of current practices or the adoption of new ones are, or could be, supported by research evidence. Science education is used as a case study but the issues considered apply to the teaching and learning of any curriculum subject.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book draws on the findings of four inter-related research studies and considers: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow research might be used to establish greater consensus about curriculum;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow research can inform the design of assessment tools and teaching interventions;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eteachers' and other science educators' perceptions of the influence of research on their teaching practices and their students' learning;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe extent to which evidence can show that an educational practice 'works'.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Millar,John Leach,Jonathan Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415362091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415362092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 6.06w x 0.69d","brand":"Robin Millar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136078065919,"sku":"9780415362092","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27736c79-7a31-4dd8-9be8-c682fccce1a7.jpg?v=1770160364","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/improving-subject-teaching-robin-millar-9780415362092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
