Learning Aspects of Nature of Science Through Authentic Research Experiences

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Authentic opportunities have the potential to support development of learners’ understanding of how scientists do their work. This chapter examines authentic classroom investigations, the use of modified primary literature, visits to authentic research labs, and research apprenticeships as models for this development. Strategies to help teachers at all levels implement these models and solutions to mitigate potential challenges are addressed.
