This study describes the climate and ethos for science teaching in British Columbia by examining policies and practices in the classrooms, schools, and districts. The team visited 60 classrooms in eight districts and observed science classes in both English and French immersion at Grades 4, 7, and 10, as well as in English at Grade 3. The study was carried out as part of the 1991 Science Assessment. This report describes the study and the rationale for it; the methodology; historical and theoretical perspectives; the support for science; the association of science and secondary language learning; the pattern of science teaching in B.C.; and students' and teachers' views of science and science teaching.

"This book presents a unique collection of research studies on French Immersion conducted from the authors' base as a research team in British Columbia, Canada. It serves as an important resource for educators and policymakers interested in the impact of immersion on educational policy, student outcomes, second language curriculum, and teacher education." "Section I documents the authors' experiences in developing a systematic approach to evaluation and assessment of French immersion programs. Section II includes studies on important curricular and instructional considerations for immersion education, and Section III addresses teacher education and professional development, including in-depth case studies of immersion teacher education programs and immersion teachers' perspectives on their role and needs for support and improvement. A final chapter contains concluding comments and future directions for immersion programs." "Immersion has grown significantly not only in Canada but also worldwide. This collection of research studies will be informative to those involved in intensive second language education internationally."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
