Abstract
The old style of science education is the "survey approach," where the teacher requires the students to memorize a long list of facts that describe things that are found in the world: animal taxa, minerals, etc.. More recently, science education has focused on getting the student to learn to ask questions, and design investigations for him or herself, to learn science as a process of discovery. Duschl, in this book, suggests taking science education a step further.The old style of science education is the "survey approach," where the teacher requires the students to memorize a long list of facts that describe things that are found in the world: animal taxa, minerals, etc..
