Book Synopsis The Language of Science Education by : William F. McComas
Download or read book The Language of Science Education written by William F. McComas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language of Science Education: An Expanded Glossary of Key Terms and Concepts in Science Teaching and Learning is written expressly for science education professionals and students of science education to provide the foundation for a shared vocabulary of the field of science teaching and learning. Science education is a part of education studies but has developed a unique vocabulary that is occasionally at odds with the ways some terms are commonly used both in the field of education and in general conversation. Therefore, understanding the specific way that terms are used within science education is vital for those who wish to understand the existing literature or make contributions to it. The Language of Science Education provides definitions for 100 unique terms, but when considering the related terms that are also defined as they relate to the targeted words, almost 150 words are represented in the book. For instance, “laboratory instruction” is accompanied by definitions for openness, wet lab, dry lab, virtual lab and cookbook lab. Each key term is defined both with a short entry designed to provide immediate access following by a more extensive discussion, with extensive references and examples where appropriate. Experienced readers will recognize the majority of terms included, but the developing discipline of science education demands the consideration of new words. For example, the term blended science is offered as a better descriptor for interdisciplinary science and make a distinction between project-based and problem-based instruction. Even a definition for science education is included. The Language of Science Education is designed as a reference book but many readers may find it useful and enlightening to read it as if it were a series of very short stories.

Book Synopsis The Acquisition of Science Vocabulary by : Lisha Cabral
Download or read book The Acquisition of Science Vocabulary written by Lisha Cabral and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accessing vocabulary in the content areas requires different approaches than in the typical English Language Arts classroom. In the sciences, there are at least three characteristics that create the necessity to approach vocabulary differently; the novelty of the concepts the vocabulary represents to students, the inordinate amount of new words encountered in the sciences, and the lack of explicit vocabulary acquisition instruction provided by science teachers. If students were able to leverage their understanding of words and word meanings and improve their automaticity of understanding the morphology of words, they may be able to improve their overall comprehension of text as well as concepts. The Matthew Effect and the Reciprocal Model both underscore the causal nature of the vocabulary-reading comprehension relationship. They also support the sense of immediacy necessary to keep children from falling further and further behind their peers. It is possible, even at the intermediate level, to enhance a student's reading comprehension skills and content area conceptual understandings through direct vocabulary study. This study documents the benefits of using Greek and Latin word parts in ELA to acquire vocabulary and understand new concepts in science in grade four and five classes. Students who participated in direct, explicit instruction of Greek and Latin word parts outperformed students who did not in identifying unfamiliar science concepts that utilized those word parts. Students indicated conceptual understanding of the scientific concept behind a nonsense word due to their familiarity with a science-related morpheme, thus indicting an opportunity to help students better understand new, content area vocabulary as well as the concepts represented by that vocabulary.
Download or read book Pink and Say written by Patricia Polacco and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1994-09-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sheldon Russell Curtis told this story to his daughter, Rosa, she kept every word in her heart and was to retell it many times. I will tell it in Sheldon's own words as nearly as I can. He was wounded in a fierce battle and left for dead in a pasture somewhere in Georgia when Pinkus found him. Pinkus' skin was the color of polished mahogany, and he was flying Union colors like the wounded boy, and he picked him up out of the field and brought him to where the black soldier's mother, Moe Moe Bay, lived. She had soft, gentle hands and cared for him and her Pink. But the two boys were putting her in danger, two Union soldiers in Confederate territory! They had to get back to their outfits. Scared and uncertain, the boys were faced with a hard decision, and then marauding Confederate troops rode in. In this Civil War story passed from great-grandfather to grandmother, to son, and finally to the author-artist herself, Patricia Polacco once again celebrates the shared humanity of the peoples of this world.
