Full Description

Based on the author’s work in science and engineering educational research, this book offers broad, practical strategies for teaching science and engineering courses and describes how faculty can provide a learning environment that helps students comprehend the nature of science, understand science concepts, and solve problems in science courses.

This book’s student-centered approach focuses on two main themes : reflective writing and collaborative groups. When faculty incorporate these methods into their courses, students gain a better understanding of science as a connected structure of concepts rather than as a toolkit of assorted practices.

Contents include :

  • Reflective writing
  • Writing to learn
  • Constructing student knowledge
  • Selected methods for using collaborative groups
  • Changing students epistemologies
  • Training students to solve problems
  • Using technology to aid your teaching
