Toward a scientific practice of science education. Ed. by Marjorie Gardner, James G. Greeno etc

This volume supports the belief that a revised and advanced science education can emerge from the convergence and synthesis of several current scientific and technological activities including examples of research from cognitive science, social science, and other discipline-based educational studies. The anticipated result: the formation of science education as an integrated discipline. View From The Disciplines / Marjorie Gardner, Elizabeth Stage -- A View From Physics / Lillian C.
