One source of the problem is the wrong--terribly wrong--belief that science is an inappropriate subject for early elementary education and certainly for kindergarten education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a curative to this prevalent and unfortunate situation, this well-written and thought-provoking book presents the state-of-the-art in science education for kindergarten and primary schools. It begins with a thorough theoretical discussion on why it is incumbent on the science educator to teach science already at first stages of childhood. It goes on to analyze and synthesize a broad range of educational approaches and themes such as: inquiry-based teaching; learning through authentic problems; scaffolding; situated learning; learning through projects; non-verbal knowledge; and informal learning. The book also presents fresh novel strategies to science teaching such as learning science through designing, building, evaluating and redesigning simple artifacts; and Inquiry Events. Numerous examples illustrating how the theories presented may be brought into practice are provided. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277357473943,"sku":"9781402046414","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781402046414.webp?v=1769288148","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/science-literacy-in-primary-schools-and-pre-schools-9781402046414","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
