Vygotsky and Science Education
by Colette MurphyThis book highlights those aspects of Vygotskian theory which are most cogent to Science Education, including the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), concept development, play and imagination. Whilst these and other Vygotskian constructs apply to both research and practice in all forms of Science Education, this book employs a specific and critical focus on one or two key concepts for each context. Thus play and imagination are explored in depth in the chapter on science in early childhood learning, the ZPD is considered in depth in the primary school science chapter, and concept development in the secondary-level chapter. Chapters on higher education science learning and teaching, science teacher education, informal science learning, science education research, and the scientific endeavour itself draws on those aspects of Vygotskian theory which relate most closely. This book makes an important contribution to Vygotskian theory. Never before has it been applied so widely and comprehensively to the field of science and STEM education. The book is intended for students and academics in science and STEM education and the social sciences. It is also of interest to Vygotsky scholars and those involved in the analysis of pedagogic practice within and beyond science and STEM education.

Why Don't Things Fall Up?: and Six Other Science Lessons You Missed at School
by Alom Shaha'A book of quiet wonder.' Ian Dunt 'I have learnt (and remembered) so much, and so easily. It's the mango ice cream of science books.' Hilary McKay'Everything Alom writes is a joy to ponder, his love of science is utterly contagious, the perfect guide through things that might perplex.' Robin Ince'A joyful exploration of fundamental questions about our world; Shaha proves that science is for everyone!' Roma Agrawal'Friendly, informative and such fun to read.' Christopher Edge 'Alom Shaha is the science teacher many people will wish they had but didn't.' Philip Ball'Here is the teacher you'll wish you had at school.' Jim S. Al-Khalili CBE Has a child - or anyone else - ever asked you why the sky is blue? Could you explain why ice cream melts? Have you forgotten why scientists think the universe started with a Big Bang, and do you understand the difference between respiration and breathing?Why Don't Things Fall Up? will gently remind you of everything you may have learnt once upon a time, but have somehow forgotten along the way. If you've ever changed the subject when a child has asked for homework help, or if you have the curiosity of a seven year old yourself, or if you know everything but have forgotten the basics or don't want to know anything except the basics - then this is the book for you. Using questions asked by children as a starting point, Alom Shaha (who has spent over two decades trying to help people of all ages understand this stuff) takes us on a tour of the "big ideas" of science from his unique perspective. His experience as a dad, a teacher and science communicator means he knows exactly what people don't know -and especially the misconceptions and other intellectual hurdles which prevent us from grasping key ideas. Combining his proven skill for explaining science with storytelling and flashbacks to school experiments, Why Don't Things Fall Up? reminds us that science is not just for scientists - it's a human endeavour that enriches all our lives.
Wie halten Sie Ihre Gabel?: Von mentaler Programmierung zu innerer Freiheit
by Gundolf R. WendeWer mentale Programmierungen erkennt und bei sich ändert, wird innerlich souverän und kann frei und selbst bestimmt gestalten. In der Regel ist uns nicht bewusst, dass sich bereits in frühester Kindheit und Jugend die Art und Weise unseres Denkens und Handelns manifestiert. Daran ändert sich meist während unseres ganzen Lebens recht wenig. Doch was, wenn Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Arbeitswelt sich jetzt so schnell und radikal wandeln wie nie zuvor – während wir unbewusst bei alten Programmierungen bleiben? Wir werden innerlich unsicher, agieren zaghaft und unsouverän. Es mangelt uns an mentaler Flexibilität und psychologischer Sicherheit, um den Wandel zu gestalten. Wir sind häufig im Widerstand und klammern uns an Hergebrachtes, ohne wirklich zu begreifen, warum. Wir verstehen die Programme dahinter nicht.Das Buch richtet sich an ein breites Publikum. Es spricht all diejenigen an, die das Gefühl haben, „festzustecken“ und die freier und selbst bestimmter leben möchten. Leistungsorientierte Menschen in verantwortungsvollen Positionen in Wirtschaft, Politik, Wissenschaft, Kultur etc., suchen in einer brüchigen, nicht-linearen Welt einen inneren Anker, um mutig und inspiriert Neues gestalten zu können.
