TRANSFORMING TEACHER EDUCATION THROUGH THE EPIS...

This book synthesizes theoretical perspectives  empirical evidence and practical strategies for
improving teacher education in chemistry. Many chemistry lessons involve mindless cookbook
activities where students and teachers follow recipes  memorise formulae and recall facts
without understanding how and why knowledge in chemistry works. Capitalising on traditionally
disparate areas of research  the book investigates how to make chemistry education more
meaningful for both students and teachers. It provides an example of how theory and practice in
chemistry education can be bridged. It reflects on the nature of knowledge in chemistry by
referring to theoretical perspectives from philosophy of chemistry. It draws on empirical
evidence from research on teacher education  and illustrates concrete strategies and resources
that can be used by teacher educators. The book describes the design and implementation of an
innovative teacher education project to show the impact of an intervention on pre-service
teachers. The book shows how  by making use of visual representations and analogies  the
project makes some fairly abstract and complex ideas accessible to pre-service teachers.
