The intent of this book is to describe how a professor can provide
a learning environment that assists students to come to grips with
the nature of science and engineering, to understand science and
engineering concepts, and to solve problems in science and
engineering courses. As such, this book is intended to be useful
for any science or engineering professor, who wants to change their
course to include more effective teaching methods, to instructors
at post-secondary institutions, who are beginning their careers,
and as a handbook for TAa (TM)s. Since the book is based upon
articles that I have had published in Science Educational Research
and which are grounded in educational research that I have
performed (both quantitative and qualitative) over many years, it
will also be of interest to anyone engaged in research into
teaching science and engineering at the post-secondary level. I
have also tried to include enough background so that the book could
be used as a textbook for a course in educational practice in
science and engineering. The book has two main axes of development.
Firstly, how do we get students to change their epistemology so
that their outlook on the course material is not that it consists
of a tool kit of assorted practices, classified according to
problem type, but rather that the subject comprises a connected
structure of concepts. Secondly, helping students to have a deeper
understanding of science and engineering.
