Successful Science and Engineering Teaching in Colleges and Universities, 2nd Edition (hc)

Based on the author's work in science and engineering educational research, this book offers broad, practical strategies for teaching science and engineering courses and describes how faculty can provide a learning environment that helps students comprehend the nature of science, understand science concepts, and solve problems in science courses.

This book's student-centered approach focuses on two main themes: writing to learn (especially Reflective Writing) and interactive activities (collaborative groups and labatorials). When faculty incorporate these methods into their courses, students gain a better understanding of science as a connected structure of concepts rather than as a toolkit of assorted practices.

Summary

This book offers practical strategies for teaching science and engineering, emphasizing a student-centered approach with Reflective Writing and interactive activities. These methods help students understand science as a connected structure of concepts, enhancing comprehension and problem-solving skills.
