Free Download Exploring Elementary Science Teaching and Learning in Canada by Christine D. Tippett, Todd M. Milford
English | PDF | 2023 | 237 Pages | ISBN : 3031239350 | 6.7 MB
This edited volume showcases current science education research in Canada, from pre-Kindergarten to Grade 7, conducted in Canada by a diverse group of researchers from across the country. We draw on the themes that emerged from our previous book, Science Education in Canada: Consistencies, Commonalities, and Distinctions, to guide the structure of this book on elementary science education research. In particular, chapters on science teacher preparation; Indigenous perspectives; environmental education; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); and science, technology, society, and the environment (STSE) reflect a Canadian perspective. However, these themes are of global interest and authors include ideas for how science education research in Canada might be used by academics and researchers in other countries.

Pop Culture and Power Teaching Media Literacy for Social Justice


Free Download Dawn H. Currie, "Pop Culture and Power: Teaching Media Literacy for Social Justice"
English | ISBN: 1487507593 | 2022 | 336 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Literacy education has historically characterized mass media as manipulative towards young people who, as a result, are in need of close-reading "skills." By contrast, Pop Culture and Power treats literacy as a dynamic practice, shaped by its social and cultural context. It develops a framework to analyse power in its various manifestations, arguing that power works through popular culture, not as everyday media. Pop Culture and Power thus explores media engagement as an opportunity to promote social change.
