This latest edition of the popular guide provides an account of current thinking about the fundamental aims and philosophy underpinning primary science education and informs views on how these ideas and values can be translated into practice. The topics reflect recent attention that is being given to: continuing professional development; transfer from primary to secondary school; school self-evaluation; pupil assessment and selfassessment and the formative use of assessment; talk and dialogue in the classroom; and developing children’s
thinking skills and creativity.
Other chapters present fresh thinking about enduring matters including the purpose of science education in the early years and throughout the primary years, the
importance of attitudes and values, the nature of
children’s learning, making provision for continuity and progression, the importance of enabling children to investigate, the role of questions, the use of ICT and the management of science at the school level.
About half of the chapters contain material that is common with chapters on the same topic in the
companion ASE Guide to Secondary Science Education, with appropriate changes in examples and references to practice that suits the primary context. We believe this common material is helpful in emphasising the continuity in children’s science education.
