“Each chapter provides clear reference points for the intended audience (teachers, preservice teachers, researchers, and educators) regarding teachers’ practice and the ongoing challenges in science investigation. The analysis of these practices is supported by extensive research literature. ... there are interesting and thought-provoking “Questions to Consider”. ... This book is an important addition to the literature and a valuable resource to all lifelong learners in science education, namely, science teacher educators, science education researchers, science teachers and pre-service science teachers.” (Senka Henderson, Curriculum Perspectives, Vol. 40, 2020)
