Place-Based Science Teaching de Kirstin Milks

Place-Based Science Teaching

Autor Kirstin Milks, Whitney Aragaki
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 2025

Observăm în literatura academică dedicată pedagogiei științelor o lacună persistentă în ceea ce privește integrarea identității culturale și a contextului local în curricula standardizată. De multe ori, predarea disciplinelor STEM rămâne abstractă, detașată de mediul imediat al elevului. Place-Based Science Teaching, scrisă de Kirstin Milks și Whitney Aragaki, vine să completeze acest gol, oferind un cadru metodologic care transformă sala de clasă dintr-un spațiu izolat într-un nod de conexiuni comunitare. Reținem că forța acestui volum publicat de Sage Publications, Inc rezidă în 'Place Based Science Teaching Framework', o structură care ghidează profesorii în explorarea contextului geografic, temporal și social al învățării. Spre deosebire de abordările pur teoretice, această lucrare propune studii de caz concrete și activități aliniate standardelor NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards), facilitând o tranziție lină de la teorie la practică. Notăm cu interes includerea strategiilor pentru învățământul digital, o necesitate în contextul educațional actual, unde 'locul' nu mai este definit strict de coordonate fizice. Volumul este o alternativă excelentă la Place-Based Science Teaching and Learning pentru cursurile de tehnici și abilități de predare, cu avantajul unei perspective contemporane asupra justiției sociale și a utilizării instrumentelor digitale. Comparativ cu Place-Based Scientific Inquiry, care se concentrează predilect pe proiecte de cercetare în natură, lucrarea de față extinde conceptul de 'loc' către moștenirea culturală și problemele globale, încurajând elevii să devină administratori responsabili ai propriilor comunități. Stilul narativ al autoarelor, împletit cu exerciții de reflecție asupra propriei poziționări pedagogice, face din această carte un instrument de transformare a modului în care știința este percepută și predată în sistemul K-12.

Descriere

Jumpstart your imagination and transform your science classroom by centering place-based learning Identity, community, and place are tightly connected and can be leveraged to deepen science learning for students. Place-Based Science Teachingoffers K-12 science educators an innovative approach to building learning experiences that embrace the rich and varied knowledge held by people, both past and present, about the places we call home. This book helps teachers to foster greater personal investment of students in their learning, as well as develop NGSS-informed authentic problem-solving and critical reasoning skills. The book will also help teachers create and find joy in their classrooms by connecting lessons to local environments, cultural heritage, and global issues. Written by nationally recognized STEM educators Whitney Aragaki and Kirstin Milks, the book blends inspiring storytelling with practical frameworks and resources. Chapters will take you behind the scenes into innovative classrooms, detailing high-impact, standards-aligned activities and sharing educator stories from diverse settings. Grounded in cutting-edge research and real-world examples, Place-Based Science Teaching Introduces the Place Based Science Teaching Framework that asks "where are you," "when are you," "who are you," and "who are we together" as a way to connect learning to local and global contexts Provides classroom-ready lessons and case studies from many educational settings, aligned with NGSS and centered on belonging, access, and engagement Offers strategies for virtual spaces and digital perspectives to enhance teaching in an increasingly online world Includes actionable reflection prompts designed to help teachers explore their own positionality and better connect with their students and communities This book will encourage educators and administrators alike to transform science learning into an opportunity for building empathy, connection, and hope. Place-Based Science Teachingis designed to help teachers foster a sense of place and stewardship among their students, and address peace- and justice-focused solutions that encourage students to care for their communities, think critically about global challenges, and develop the agency to lead for generations to come.
