{"product_id":"changing-the-way-we-see-von-claudia-james","title":"Changing the way we see","description":"\u003cp\u003eChildren and their teachers appear to \"see\" science as a pre-  packaged rhetoric of conclusions, while the imaginative aspects of   scientific thinking are neglected. Like art, science can illuminate and   delight our ordinary daily living, and inform our life choices. The   teaching of science, as John Dewey suggests, should focus more on   imaginative, expressive and aesthetic principles. This book's focus is   on the use of the dot drawing. The dot is both the basic icon in   science and the simplest element in drawing. Here a group of   grade 3\/4 and 5\/6 children demonstrate how they played with the   dot to materialize the ideas of science. The dot assumed the role of   universal noun, scientific icon and narrative tool. Their drawings   contain immediate scientific meaning lessening the dependence on   verbal mediation. A selection of the children's drawings are   presented in the form of a portfolio of pieces. Like the guide in an   art gallery, the author endeavors to lead the reader through the   children's work with reference to both its context and meaning. This   book presents a new way of \"seeing\" science education. It is a source of inspiration for science educators and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844381573\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003edrawing with dots in science education\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844381573","offer_id":39471344386141,"sku":"9783844381573","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d352c04c-171b-4b14-a6ee-f0eb7644efdc.jpg?v=1775194149","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/changing-the-way-we-see-von-claudia-james","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
