The Art of Teaching Science has proven itself to be one of the most popular introductory texts for Australian pre-service and in-service teachers, providing guidance on engaging students and helping develop scientifically literate citizens.

Beginning with an examination of the nature of science, constructivist and socio-cultural views of teaching and learning and contemporary science curricula in Australian schools, the expert authors go on to explore effective teaching and learning strategies, approaches to assessment and provide advice on the use of ICT in the classroom. Fully revised and updated, this edition also reflects the introduction of the AITSL professional standards for teachers and integrates them throughout the text. New chapters explore:

âEUR¢a range of teaching strategies including explicit instruction, active learning and problem-based learning;
âEUR¢the effective integration of STEM in schools;
âEUR¢approaches to differentiation in science education; and
âEUR¢contemporary uses of ICT to improve student learning.

Those new to this text will find it is deliberately written in user-friendly language. Each chapter stands alone, but collectively they form a coherent picture of the art (in the sense of creative craft) and science (as in possessing the knowledge, understanding and skills) required to effectively teach secondary school science.

'Helping each new generation of school science teachers as they begin their careers is crucial to education. This is the updated, third edition of this valuable textbook. It contains a wonderful range of inspirational chapters. All science teachers, not only those at the start of the profession, would benefit from it, in Australia and beyond.'

Vaille Dawson is a Professor of Science Education in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Western Australia in Perth where she conducts educational research in science classrooms, supervises doctoral and Masters students and teaches preservice secondary science education. Originally a medical researcher and then a science teacher, she has conducted science education research at the secondary and tertiary levels in Australia, Indonesia and India for over 20 years. Her research interests include scientific literacy, teacher education, argumentation and decision-making, critical thinking, socioscientific issues and teaching in disadvantaged schools. In addition to publishing five teacher education textbooks for primary and secondary school science, she has published multiple book chapters and peer-reviewed papers. She is Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, an Honorary Senior Research Associate at University College London and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. She is passionate about ensuring that all young people have access to a quality science education, regardless of background.Grady Venville is a Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at the Australian National University in Canberra where she holds responsibility for the establishment and satisfaction of academic standards at ANU, including the delivery of an exceptional educational and student experience. Grady's career highlights have included a postdoctoral appointment at King's College London; being appointed the inaugural Professor of Science Education in 2007, and Dean of Coursework Studies in 2013, at the University of Western Australia; and a three-year appointment to the Australian Research Council College of Experts. Professor Venville's research in science education focuses on conceptual development, curriculum integration and cognitive acceleration. Grady has made a lifelong commitment to teaching and education. A central belief underpinning everything she does is that high-quality education is critical not only for human development but also for a healthy and peaceful society.
