This work draws together a range of issues in the teaching of science. Building on their learning about the teaching of science in ITT courses, this book encourages students and newly qualified teachers to reflect on issues so that they can make reasoned judgements about their teaching of science. The book should be relevant for students and newly qualified teachers at both primary and secondary levels and fills a gap in their knowledge due to time constraints - and an emphasis on standards - on ITT courses.

'... very thought provoking ...' - John Parkinson, School Science Review'The range of issues covered make this book very suitable for science teachers at any stage of their career and in any phase. Teachers responsible for science teaching in their institution should buy a copy, and make sure that it is available for all science colleagues. Better still, use one of the chapters, and the discussion questions at the end of it, as the basis for a staff meeting.' - Patrick Fullick, Times Educational Supplement'...this is a valuable book for readers looking for an introduction to current issues in science teaching.' - Keith Taber, Education in Chemistry, 'The range of issues covered make this book very suitable for science teachers at any stage of their career and in any phase. Teachers responsible for science teaching in their institution should buy a copy, and make sure that it is available for all science colleagues.
