The focus & content of the book
As far as the book chapters originate from WP6 are concerned, we envision them to be a collection of case study research reports (CSr) describing substantial aspects of the design, development, implementation and validation of the training module(s) that each WP6 partner will be developing as part of their work in WP6, or its transfer from one educational setting to another. The book may also include a limited number of reports regarding case study materials (CSm) that will be used for the development of the case study research report. An example could be a complete detailed description of a single science lesson that can be used in training modules highlighting innovative aspects and the value they bring to IBST/E. It could also include a small number of guides of how to use CSm in teacher education courses. Contributions from other WPs can deviate from this format but they will need to also adopt a Case Study approach and include data from implementation activities.
Target Audience
The main aim is to provide the research and teacher-education community with examples of training programs and the data they were based on, how these worked and in what ways, how we evaluated and gradually improved them. We do not intend to produce another science methods book. We feel that at this stage of development of science education in Europe, we need to provide a book that addresses the science-teacher educator community, rather than only science teachers.
