Abstract

Upshot: This textbook presents a pedagogical view of science instruction for educators teaching primary or elementary students in formal and informal settings. Its author invites us to voyage with him into the very nature of science as he scaffolds a learner-centered activity-focused approach to individualized science investigation. However, he does so with an imprecise constructivist epistemology and without mentioning von Glasersfeld.
