Elementary Science Methods

Description:

"Capitalizing on children's natural curiosity, this innovative constructivist approach to teaching elementary science helps preservice teachers construct information in ways that encourage children to respond and learn. David Jerner Martin, Ph.D., emphasizes process-oriented skills and hands-on experiences where children ask their own questions about phenomena that interest them. He helps teachers develop their own personally constructed conceptualizations about teaching elementary science, guiding progress with case studies and suggested group activities that help clarify these conceptualizations."--BOOK JACKET.
