| Sumario: | "In many countries, questions are being raised about the quality and value of educational research, and whether educational practice can ever draw upon research evidence as productively as in fields such as medicine. This book explores the relationship between research and practice in education, using the case of science education as an example. 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 - and so be said to be evidence-based. The issues considered are not specific to science, but apply to the teaching and learning of any curriculum subject. The book draws on the findings of four inter-related research studies, carried out by the Evidence-based Practice in Science Education (EPSE) Research Network. It considers: how research might be used to establish greater consensus about curriculum; how research can inform the design of assessment tools and teaching interventions; teachers' and other science educators' perceptions of the influence of; research on their teaching practices and their students' learning; the extent to which evidence can show that an educational practice "works"."--Publisher description. |
