Title: | New Directions in Science Teaching Online: Value adding with ICT | Contributor(s): | Hollingworth, Rowan William (author); McLoughlin, Catherine (author) | Publication Date: | 2002 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/4783 | Abstract: | Conducting scientific investigations and thinking scientifically are among the most complex intellectual activities that learners can pursue, yet the teaching of science in general has not fully adopted innovative and constructivist approaches to develop these skills. In addition, progress towards the practical, widespread implementation of technology to support constructivist teaching approaches have been limited. Where there is a smaller number of leaders who do embrace newer educational theories and attempt to incorporate research findings in their teaching, there continues to be a substantial gap between educational research and development projects and actual practice in science teaching overall. This paper discusses present barriers to adoption of ICT in science teaching, current thought on how ICT can transform science teaching and how technologies can support the development of scientific understanding. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ED-MEDIA 2002 World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications, Denver, United States of America, 24th - 29th June, 2002 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the ED-MEDIA 2002 World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia & Telecommunications, p. 1325-1330 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) | Place of Publication: | Norfolk, United States of America | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130306 Educational Technology and Computing | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930203 Teaching and Instruction Technologies | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICDocs/data/ericdocs2sql/content_storage_01/0000019b/80/1b/17/11.pdf |
