This Open Access volume presents a comprehensive and updated vision of practical work, aligned with 21st-century digital challenges and competency demands. It explores a wide range of issues related to both physical and digital practical work, highlighting the strengths and limitations of various approaches. The book emphasizes that digital practical work should complement, not replace, physical practical work to maximize student learning. It also addresses emerging issues related to artificial intelligence, safety, ethics, and inclusivity in practical work, and discusses the implications for teacher education and student assessment.

By offering an in-depth view of practical work, this book serves as a valuable resource for those involved in science education research, educational policy, STEM education, and science teacher education. It provides an overview of key issues in using and assessing physical and digital practical work, ensuring adherence to best ethical practices.
