Description

This list is intended as a forum for discussion for teachers, researchers and others who are interested in aspects of learning in science. Particular themes might be: alternative conceptions in science; modeling the learning process; scaffolding learning; developing and critiquing teaching analogies and models.

Interested parties are invited to join the list, and to contribute by posting their comments. Suitable postings might include observations about learners¹ conceptions; news of relevant publications; consideration of problematic aspects of learning science; information about teaching materials, curriculum or research projects. Researchers are invited to use the list to exchange ideas related to current work - for example related to modeling conceptual structure and conceptual development (e.g. multiple frameworks), or to discuss aspects of the significance and origins of alternative conceptions. One aspiration of the e-group will be to ensure that constructivism in science education continues to be a progressive research programme, through its synthesis with ideas from related fields.

The list has been originated by Dr. Keith Taber of the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, U.K. (http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/staff/taber.html; http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/kst24/index.html) I am a former school/college science teacher working in teacher education (especially PGCE courses).
