{"product_id":"nature-of-science-in-science-william-mccomas-9783030572419","title":"Nature of Science in Science Instruction: Rationales and Strategies","description":"This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Nature of Science (NOS), one of the most important aspects of science teaching and learning, and includes tested strategies for teaching aspects of the NOS in a variety of instructional settings. In line with the recommendations in the field to include NOS in all plans for science instruction, the book provides an accessible resource of background information on NOS, rationales for teaching these targeted NOS aspects, and - most importantly - how to teach about the nature of science in specific instructional contexts. The first section examines the why and what of NOS, its nature, and what research says about how to teach NOS in science settings. The second section focuses on extending knowledge about NOS to question of scientific method, theory-laden observation, the role of experiments and observations and distinctions between science, engineering and technology. The dominant theme of the remainder of the book is a focus on teaching aspects of NOS applicable to a wide variety of instructional environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William McComas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030572412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030572419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.54d","brand":"William McComas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945140715775,"sku":"9783030572419","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5199ce64-6b53-4b31-bcf1-4dfb9cd28c39.jpg?v=1681507019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-of-science-in-science-william-mccomas-9783030572419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
