商品描述
This book offers a meso-level description of demographics, science education, and science teacher education. Representing all 13 Canadian jurisdictions, the book provides local insights that serve as the basis for exploring the Canadian system as a whole and function as a common starting point from which to identify causal relationships that may be associated with Canada's successes. The book highlights commonalities, consistencies, and distinctions across the provinces and territories in a thematic analysis of the 13 jurisdiction-specific chapters. Although the analysis indicates a network of policy and practice issues warranting further consideration, the diverse nature of Canadian science education makes simple identification of causal relationships elusive.
Canada has a reputation for strong science achievement. However, there is currently limited literature on science education in Canada at the general level or in specific areas such as Canadian science curriculum or science teacher education. This book fills that gap by presenting a thorough description of science education at the provincial/territorial level, as well as a more holistic description of pressing issues for Canadian science education.商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了有關人口統計、科學教育和科學教師教育的中層描述。書中代表了所有13個加拿大司法管轄區，提供了當地的見解，這些見解作為探索整個加拿大系統的基礎，並作為一個共同的起點，以識別可能與加拿大成功相關的因果關係。這本書在對13個特定司法管轄區的章節進行主題分析時，突顯了各省和地區之間的共同點、一致性和區別。儘管分析顯示出一個需要進一步考慮的政策和實踐問題網絡，但加拿大科學教育的多樣性使得簡單識別因果關係變得難以捉摸。
加拿大以其強大的科學成就而聞名。然而，目前關於加拿大科學教育的文獻在一般層面或特定領域（如加拿大科學課程或科學教師教育）上仍然有限。這本書填補了這一空白，通過提供省級/地區級的科學教育的全面描述，以及對加拿大科學教育迫切問題的更全面的描述。
作者簡介
Christine D. Tippett, BASc (University of British Columbia), BEd, MA, and PhD (University of Victoria), is an associate professor of science education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa in Ontario. She was an engineer before she obtained her teaching degree, which influences her ways of thinking about science education. Previously she taught at the elementary and middle school level, working with K-8 students. Her research interests include visual representations, science education for all students, and professional development for science educators (preservice, inservice, and informal). Her current projects focus on preservice science teachers' images of engineers, early childhood STEM education, and assessment of representational competence. She is past president of the Science Education Research Group (SERG, a special interest group of the Canadian Society for Studies in Education) and is actively involved in the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE).
Todd M. Milford, BSc and BEd (University of Victoria), Dip SpecEd (University of British Columbia), MEd and PhD (University of Victoria), is an associate professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Previously he was a lecturer in the Art, Law, and Education Group at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. He has science and special education classroom teaching experience as well as in the online environment. He has been teaching at the postsecondary level since 2005 primarily in the areas of science education, mathematics education, and classroom assessment. His research has been and continues to be varied; however, the constant theme is using data and data analysis to help teachers and students in the classroom. He is past president of the Science Education Research Group (a special interest group of the Canadian Society for Studies in Education).
