Science teachers and researchers have shown that all students are capable of learning science. The Art of Teaching Science is designed to help you achieve this vision and important goal of science teaching. The vision of all students learning science is highly dependent upon the beliefs we have about science, pedagogy, and students. Students learn when they are provided the opportunity to experience the richness of science through active inquiry and collaboration with peers and adults, as well as the tools to promote learning. The context of learning in this vision is humanistic through creative and imaginative encounters with teachers. The Art of Teaching Science is rooted in the philosophy and structure of an earlier work, Minds on Science. The Art of Teaching Science extends this earlier work by providing a new organization of the context and focusing the preparation of science teachers on professional artistry. In this view, the learning to teach process involves encounters with peers, professional teachers, and science teacher educators. To help readers of this book achieve this goal, a number of pedagogical learning tools have been integrated into the text. These tools involve inquiry and experimentation and reflection through writing and discussion, as well as experiences with students, science curriculum, and pedagogy. Becoming a science teacher is a creative process. In the view espoused here, you will be encouraged to "invent" and "construct" ideas about science teaching through your interaction with your peers, teachers, and your instructors
