作者簡介

This book presents the work of academics who contributed their work at the International Science Education Conference (ISEC) 2021, in alignment with the conference theme '20/20 Vision for Science Education Research.' Collectively, the chapters aim to evoke intellectual dialogues on current and future trends in science education. It features chapters that are grouped thematically into three sections: Epistemic Practices in Science/STEM education, Developing Science Teaching and Assessment, and History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science/Engineering, and Informal Learning.

Through the various sectionsYann Shiou Ong is an assistant professor at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and a core team member of the meriSTEM@NIE Singapore, a multi-centric education, research and industry center. Her research interests include students' epistemic practices in investigating, explaining and evaluating spheres of scientific activity, especially how students critique and construct arguments when making decisions during science inquiry and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) problem solving. She designs learning environments to foster student's epistemic practices through the lens of the productive (inter)disciplinary engagement framework. Yann Shiou's other research interests include physics education, and discourse analysis.

Timothy Tan is a senior lecturer with the Natural Sciences and Science Education Academic Group at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, with a diverse teaching portfolio in science and technology subjects. While his background was originally in biochemistry and molecular biology content research, his doctoral work was in science education, and he has a natural inclination for digital technologies. His current research interests blend these fields: developing cross-disciplinary learning activities and science practical work, involving integrative STEM, design-based inquiry (DBI) learning, and visual programming, especially where learners engage in iterative 'design, make, and code' activities. He is also a core team member of the meriSTEM Centre@NIE, Singapore.

Yew-Jin Lee is the assistant head of primary science education at the Natural Sciences and Science Education Academic Group at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He has a biology background and has taught this subject in local high schools for eight years. Yew Jin is currently an associate professor and his work entails teaching methods courses in primary science, secondary biology education, as well as in various masters/Ph.D./Ed.D. level courses. Yew Jin has performed international consultancy work with the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, the Temasek Foundation (Singapore), as well as in various universities in the Asian region on matters of science education. In 2008/9, he received a Fulbright Academic Exchange award to study urban science education with the City University of New York, USA.
, the book presents empirical studies in science and engineering classrooms or laboratories, puts forward a framework for problem-based learning, provides an account of a prominent scientist's efforts in promoting practical science through analysis of historical documents, and uncovers trends in informal science learning space research through a review of literature. Each section is introduced by a commentary with further insights and thought-provoking questions on ideas raised in the chapters. The book also includes a 'Notes to Our Future Colleagues' section in each chapter, which presents readers with a collective vision for the state of science education research in the year 2050.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

本書介紹了在國際科學教育會議(ISEC)2021上貢獻的學者們的工作,與會議主題“對科學教育研究的20/20視野”相一致。這些章節旨在引發關於科學教育當前和未來趨勢的智力對話。它包含按主題分組的章節,分為三個部分:科學/STEM教育的認識實踐、科學教學和評估的發展,以及科學/工程的歷史、哲學和社會學,以及非正式學習。

透過各個部分,Yann Shiou Ong是新加坡南洋理工大學國家教育學院(NIE)助理教授,也是meriSTEM@NIE新加坡的核心團隊成員,該中心是一個多中心的教育、研究和工業中心。她的研究興趣包括學生在調查、解釋和評估科學活動領域時的認識實踐,特別是學生在科學探究和科學、技術、工程和數學(STEM)問題解決過程中如何批判和構建論點。她設計學習環境,以生產性(跨)學科參與框架的視角促進學生的認識實踐。Yann Shiou的其他研究興趣包括物理教育和話語分析。

Timothy Tan是新加坡南洋理工大學國家教育學院(NIE)自然科學和科學教育學術團隊的高級講師,擁有科學和技術科目的多樣化教學經歷。雖然他的背景最初是在生物化學和分子生物學的內容研究,但他的博士研究是在科學教育領域,並且他對數字技術有自然的傾向。他目前的研究興趣結合了這些領域:開發跨學科學習活動和科學實踐工作,涉及整合STEM、基於設計的探究(DBI)學習和視覺編程,特別是當學習者參與迭代的“設計、製作和編程”活動時。他也是meriSTEM Centre@NIE新加坡的核心團隊成員。

Yew-Jin Lee是新加坡南洋理工大學國家教育學院(NIE)自然科學和科學教育學術團隊的小學科學教育助理主任。他有生物學背景,在當地高中教授這門科目已有八年。Yew Jin目前是副教授,他的工作包括在小學科學、中學生物教育以及各種碩士/博士/教育博士課程中教授教學方法課程。Yew Jin曾在亞洲開發銀行、世界銀行、淡馬錫基金會(新加坡)以及亞洲地區的各所大學進行國際諮詢工作,涉及科學教育事務。在2008/9年,他獲得富布萊特學術交流獎學金,與美國紐約市立大學一起研究城市科學教育。

該書還介紹了在科學和工程課堂或實驗室中的實證研究,提出了一個問題導向學習的框架,通過分析歷史文件介紹了一位著名科學家在推廣實用科學方面的努力,並通過文獻回顧揭示了非正式科學學習空間研究的趨勢。每個部分都由評論引言,提供對章節中提出的思想的進一步洞察和發人深省的問題。該書還在每個章節中包含了一個“給未來同事的筆記”部分,向讀者呈現了對2050年科學教育研究狀況的集體願景。
