First published in 1924, 'Which School?' brings together in one volume a wide range of information and advice, updated annually, on independent education for children up to the age of 18 years.
A revision guide for those doing separate sciences, it aims to cover what they need to know for their course. It contains separate science content that double science people don't have to cover.
"The impact of technology on society is clear and unmistakeable. The influence of society on technology is more subtle. The 13 essays in this book have been written by a diverse group of scholars united by a common interest in creating a new field - the sociology of technology. They draw on a wide array of case studies - from cooking stoves to missile systems, from 15th-century Portugal to today's Al labs - to outline an original research program based on a synthesis of ideas from the social studies of science and the history of technology. Together they affirm the need for a study of technology that gives equal weight to technical, social, economic, and political questions"--Back cover.
This volume provides a summary of the findings that educational research has to offer on good practice in school science teaching. It offers an overview of scholarship and research in the field, and introduces the ideas and evidence that guide it.

"This is overwhelmingly a valuable book - particularly in the context of science education in the UK. It is a book that deserves to be read more widely by science teachers, particularly those who seek not simply to extend their repertoire of teaching techniques, but who wish to place these techniques upon a sound academic footing." Educational Review "I have greatly enjoyed reading through Science Education for Citizenship. It is extremely informative and contains much of value. We will definitely be putting it on our MA in Science Education reading list." Dr Michael Reiss, Institute of Education, University of London This innovative book explores the effective teaching and learning of issues relating to the impact of science in society. Research case studies are used to examine the advantages and problems as science teachers try new learning approaches, including ethical analysis, use of media-reports, peer-group decision-making discussions and community projects. This book: offers practical guidance in devising learning goals and suitable learning and assessment strategies helps teachers to provide students with the skills and understanding needed to address these multi-faceted issues explores the nature and place of socio-scientific issues in the curriculum and the support necessary for effective teaching Science Education for Citizenship supports science teachers, citizenship teachers and other educators as they help students to develop the skills and understanding to deal with complex everyday issues.
There are many models of schooling; some work, some don't. Mastery is an entire model of schooling with over 100 years of provenance, its impact has been researched for decades, with many of the world's greatest education minds testing and refining the approach. It's one of the models of schooling that actually works. In this book, Mark McCourt examines the history of a teaching for mastery approach, from its early beginnings to the modern day when cognitive scientists have been able to bring further evidence to the debate, demonstrating why a model that was first proposed in the 1910s has the incredible impact on both pupil attainment and attitudes to learning that it has had all around the world over many decades. Drawing on examples from cross disciplines, the story of mastery is one that all educators can engage with. Mark also draws on his own subject, mathematics, to further exemplify the approach and to give practical examples of pedagogies and didactics that teachers can deploy immediately in their own classroom.
Serving as a suite of complementary specifications, this title offers options for science at GCSE. Its specifications and resources are the products of collaboration between the University of York Science Education Group, the Nuffield Curriculum Centre, OCR, and Oxford University Press.
The OCR Chemistry for AS Book and Student's website have been developed by two highly experienced authors to support the revised OCR specifications. The Student's website (powered by Dynamic Learning), provides students with interactive pages enhanced with additional resources. Tailored precisely to the revised OCR specifications, the Student's Book includes both quick Test yourself questions throughout each of the 19 topics and end of topic exam-style, Review questions. Activities involving data analysis and contemporary contexts are included throughout to help teachers and students address the new How Science Works components. The website has a full copy of the book with icons linking it to:: - Learning outcomes showing a complete list of the requirements in the specification to help students see where learning objectives and skills are covered in the book. - Data tables - Practical guidance on, for example, risk assessments, errors ad uncertainty, titrations and the preparation of organic compounds - Tutorials that work through selected problems and explain the more difficult concepts using a voiceover and animated diagrams, graphs and worked calculations - Extension questions to stretch the most able, covering some ideas in greater depth - Answers to all Test yourself questions and questions in the Activities in the Student's Book - Useful websites linked to each section
