Scientific Teaching

Short, to the point, excellent tangible thing to implement immediately in the classroom. As a professor in a 4yr TUG that teaches a lot of freshman and sophomores, this book excels at what it aims to do. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to shift into a more active teaching style or if you just want more tools and tips to enhance your active classroom.

This book has a great mix of the theoretical and practical for new (or not so new) instructors. This book provides easy to understand summaries of several key areas of educational research. It provides great real-life examples of what NOT to do as a new teacher, and practical usable advise on what to do. It even has a section on how to train others to use educational best practices. Best of all its short and to the point!I have read quite a few books on education theory and I would rate this at the top.

I needed it for my graduate course on effective science teaching. I like the book. If you are interested in the subject, this book is a good introduction and overview to several main topics. It is by no means completely encompassing of the subject though.

Great tool for teaching. I found very useful the tips and guidelines that authors recommendFor those teachers and professor is a book you should have

This book gave me a very good starting point for trying to incorporate principles of scientific teaching into a classroom.

This text is short, well illustrated, easy to read, and covers complex concepts clearly. Also you can't beat the price.

Great!

Not bad. It teaches some basics of how to teach science. It was required for a class, and it did its job.
