The Lingo of Learning: 88 Education Terms Every Science Teacher Should Know / Edition 1

by Alan Colburn

Overview

While Colburn (science education, California State U., Long Beach) is at ease with the language of professional education, he recognizes that not all prospective and practicing science teachers share his comfort with "educational jargon." He provides an introduction to 88 significant terms, grouped into chapters by topic: educational outcomes, general instructional approaches, instructional models, teaching techniques, assessment, diversity, learning theories, research concepts, teacher education, documents, and the nature of science. Although parts of the text are specifically science-oriented, the majority of the terms are of a general education nature, making this a useful reference for educators from all disciplines.
