This book informs teachers and other educators of the consequences that different teaching approaches and pedagogic choices have on learning. Readers are presented with evidence from the Nuffield funded research into effective primary practice; video observations; interviews with teachers and children; and probes of children's learning from key stages 1 and 2. This enables readers to explore the relationship between teachers' practices and children's learning. "Understanding Practice in Primary Science" shows how different forms of practice influence children's engagement with science and highlights the way that assessment practice has shaped both what teachers do and what children learn. It provides tools for understanding and developing practice and is essential reading for science teachers in primary schools, policy makers and science advisers.
