Review Quotes:
From the book reviews:
"Re/Structuring Science Education is a book based on an interactive assembly, the 2008 Springer Forum, which was held in New York ... . Some of the approaches to research on science education discussed, for example in relation to gender issues and to teaching science in 'urban classrooms', are quite innovative and well worth consideration. Those researchers who are particularly interested in the comparison of theoretical perspectives, research paradigms and approaches will also find much on such matters here."
