Explorations in Secondary School Science: Practice and Theory, 7-12

by Erminia Pedretti, Katherine Bellomo

Explorations in Secondary School Science successfully merges practice and theory together to provide teacher candidates with a valuable resource as they begin their career as a secondary school science teacher in Canada. As teachers of science, authors Erminia Pedretti and Katherine Bellomo created this resource to provide teacher candidates with essential knowledge, pedagogy, and skills to be successful in a contemporary science classroom, and to equip them with tools to critique, re-imagine, and transform the secondary school science experience for children. Explorations incorporates a broad range of education research perspectives and activities to support teacher candidates as they explore their beliefs, improve their pedagogical knowledge, and develop their judgement and decision making skills with respect to teaching and pedagogy for science, physics, biology, chemistry, environmental science and earth and space science.
