Constructing Representations to Learn in Science

by Russell Tytler (Editor), Vaughan Prain (Editor), Peter Hubber (Editor)

This book builds on recent interest in the role of representations in learning to argue for a pedagogical practice based on students actively generating and exploring representations. The book describes a sustained inquiry in which the authors worked with primary and secondary teachers of science, on key topics identified as problematic in the research literature.
