Piggott, Andy – Education in Science, 2014
Search the Internet for the qualities of a good teacher and you'll find that an entire range of ideas are offered. Having spent half a working life as a science teacher and the remainder as a science education consultant (and, for a period, an Ofsted team inspector!), the author would like to attempt to tease out what makes a "good science…

Hern, Nicola – Education in Science, 2013
Whether it is a rapid-fire Twitter event as part of #ASEchat, or BBC Radio 4's "Inside Science," the discussion of practical work generates powerful debate. While it is right that the best use of practical work is continually discussed, its value in science teaching is without question. The level of discussion is being further heightened…

Chinn, Pauline W. U. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2012
Maria Andree focuses on an immigrant student whose error in a laboratory activity leads to a novel, colorful outcome that she excitedly shares with peers. After engaging in class activities for a few weeks she returns to her earlier dislike of science, saying: "I hate science, particularly Chemistry." The classroom activity system…

Knight, Rupert – Primary Science, 2010
Theory and practice are an odd couple. There is little doubt that theory deserves a place within today's primary classrooms. Pring (2004) suggests that theory is perceived as having come adrift from common sense. It is easy to see how, swept along in the daily pressures of the job, busy classroom teachers may question the relevance of seemingly…

Tinker, Robert F. – Electronic Learning, 1984
Briefly reviews arguments for and against high school science laboratory instruction and suggests using the microcomputers as a laboratory instrument. How the microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) works is explained and some hardware and software packages are noted. (MBR)

Abbott, David S.; Saul, Jeffery M.; Parker, George W.; Beichner, Robert J. – American Journal of Physics, 2000
Investigates whether replacing a single traditional laboratory activity with a widely-used, non-microcomputer-based laboratory, research-based activity could produce improved conceptual understanding of a topic in electricity. Shows that a single instructional experience utilizing the research-based tutorial materials is superior to a traditional…

Blystone, Robert V.; MacAlpine, Barbara – Cell Biology Education, 2005
"Cell Biology Education" calls attention each quarter to several Web sites of educational interest to the biology community. The Internet provides access to an enormous array of potential teaching materials. In this article, the authors describe one approach for using the World Wide Web to develop a new college biology laboratory exercise. As a…

Pickering, Miles – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Criticizes the way organic chemistry teaching laboratory experiments are approached from the viewpoint of physical chemistry. Compares these experiments to cooking. Stresses that what matters is not the practice of the finger skills of organic chemistry but practice in the style of thinking of organic chemists. (CW)

Menis, Yosef – Educational Technology, 1982
Suggests a practical approach for coping with training students in laboratory skill through the use of videotaped (VTR) materials and discusses the technical advantages of using VTR as opposed to laboratory research. Six references are provided. (MER)

Biochemical Education, 1987
Presents an overview of biochemical education in China, including a description of the overall Chinese educational system. Summarizes workshop sessions which dealt with teaching objectives, teaching methods, self-instruction, and the education of graduate students (including the use of "dry" laboratory exercises and research…

Kandel, Marjorie; Ikan, Raphael – Journal of Chemical Education, 1989
Provides a point of view that the organic lab is a good place for the student to use and learn problem solving skills while performing the cookbook experiments. Notes that an equilibrium between the theoretical and practical aspects of organic chemistry should be established. (MVL)

Klein, Sarah E.; And Others – Science Teacher, 1982
Presents the National Science Teachers Associations's (NSTA) position statement on the place of the laboratory in science education followed by other statements unique for teaching science in middle, junior, and senior high schools. Statements focus on teaching, research, and curriculum perspectives, laboratory's role, and laboratory's enhancement…
