OverviewA guide to reforming science education to produce science learners who can guide their own inquiry and make sense of science for personal and professional goals throughout their lives. Built on over 25 years of research on inquiry instruction, it offers teachers, professional development leaders, curriculum designers, cognitive researchers, technologists, policy-makers, science educators and natural scientists the opportunity to work together to convert students into lifelong science learners - one inquiry project at a time. At the heart of the text are its methodology - design-based research studies - and its approach - leveraging technology. Representing the authors' research on mutually supportive combinations of inquiry and technology that extend throughout the complex educational system and sustain new practices, this volume advocates leveraging inquiry and technology to reform the full spectrum of science education activities - including instruction, curriculum, policy, professional development, and assessment.

Table of ContentsReviewsThe major strengths of this book are that the editors see such environments as pedagogical/educational tools to help teach inquiry (as epistemology) instead of using inquiry to teach science, the very strong psychological basis for learning and instruction provided, and the brilliant exposition of good design practice... -British Journal of Educational Technology Internet Environments for Science Education provides a detailed, positive, and practical guide to the new forms of teaching, curriculum organization, and research that are necessary if we are to capitalize on the potential of computers and the Internet to revolutionize education. Although Linn, Davis, and Bell concentrate on science, researchers and teachers of all subjects will value the principles and methods that they describe. -Richard White Emeritus Professor, Monash University Mining the ambitious and prolific program of research conducted by Professor Linn and her colleagues, E.
