It is generally accepted that teaching and learning material and activities should be grounded in a deep understanding of students' ideas and the subject matter to be taught. In the domain of thermodynamics, a great deal of research has been done to determine students' (mostly at the primary and middle school levels) misconceptions about heat and temperature; a smaller number has been done to analyse the subject matter as presented in the science classroom. What is very scarce is research which brings together the two aspects to induce a well-grounded instructional re-examination and reconstruction. The present book is thus conducted to examine secondary students' understanding of basic thermal concepts, such as heat and temperature, along with a conceptual analysis of the scientific knowledge as presented in textbooks. The purpose of the book is to provide a knowledge base for instructional design including features and relations of what students think and what is presented to them, so that more efforts can be made to remove errors and bridge gaps.

Focusing on the teaching and learning of science concepts at the elementary and high school levels, this volume bridges the gap between state-of-the-art research and classroom practice in science education. The contributors -- science educators, cognitive scientists, and psychologists -- draw clear connections between theory, research, and instructional application, with the ultimate goal of improving science teachers' effectiveness in the classroom. Toward this end, explicit models, illustrations, and examples drawn from actual science classes are included.

Excerpt from Mechanics and Heat: A Text Book for Colleges and Technical Schools The authors have had a very definite point of view in the preparation of this elementary treatise on Mechanics and Heat, and they assume that those to whom this preface is addressed have read their introductory chapter, especially the section entitled The Science of Physics. The most important function of the teacher of physics is to build the logical and mechanical structure of the science; the logical structure mainly by lecture and recitation work including a great deal of practice by the student in numerical calculation, and the mechanical structure by laboratory work. These two phases of physics study should run along together. This text, however, is intended as a basis for the work of the class-room. In their experience, the authors have come to recognize four chief difficulties in the teaching of elementary physics, as follows: One difficulty is that the native sense of most men is incapable, without stimulation and direction, of supplying the material upon which the logical structure of the science is intended to operate. It is necessary to direct the student's attention to many familiar things and to present in the class-room a great many experimental demonstrations of presumably familiar phenomena. A second difficulty is that the human mind, intuitively habituated as it is to consider the important practical affairs of life, can hardly be turned to that minute consideration of apparently insignificant details which is so necessary in the scientific handling even of the most distinctly practical problems. A third difficulty, which indeed runs through the entire front-of-progress of the human understanding, is that mind-stuff, which has been developed as correlative to certain aspects of our ancestral environment, must be rehabilitated in entirely new relations ?n fitting a man for the conditions of civilized life.

"• Can I contribute to science?• Do I like to work on the problems of science? • How do scientists know what they know?• Would I like to be|become a scientist? These are questions that interest new science students. The authors provide teachers with an approach to foster and answer these questions by concentrating on learners and learning. They argue that students are typically taught from a disciplinary perspective of science. Using this lens students are viewed as people who need to learn a particular canon of information, methods, and ways of knowing about the world—a perspective that may be useful for practicing scientists, but not ideal for young learners. In this disciplinary approach to science education there is little room for development as a scientist. In contrast, the approach championed by Kirch and Amoroso places learner questions about the world at the forefront of teaching and learning and treats science as a system of human activity. The historical explorations, theoretical insights and practical advice presented here are appropriate for all ages and educational settings. In Being and Becoming Scientists Today, the authors provide: new tools for thinking about science, ideas for how to reveal the multiple stories of knowledge production to learners, and approaches to teaching science as a collective process rather than a series of contributions made by (famous) individuals. In these ways, the authors promote the idea that all science learners contribute to the science in our lives."

This is hardly another field in education which is more important for a country's future than science education. Yet more and more students elect to concentrate on other fields to the exclusion of science for a variety of reasons: 1. The perception of degree of difficulty, 2. The actual degree of difficulty, 3. The lack of perceived prestige and earnings associated with the field. 4. The dearth of good and easy to use texts. 5. The lack of society in comprehending the significance of science and creating attractive incentives for those who enter the field. This new book focuses on issues of primary significance in the field.
