Rezensionen

This book illuminates a methodology that will facilitate science learning for many students. Incorporating imagination into the teaching-learning process provides a useful tool to teachers and science educators. The book, although not a teacher's guide, presents a mechanism which will enable teachers to increase student engagement. The author shares in-depth insights about imagination in pedagogical applications with illustrative examples. The book is innovative and practical.

With this book Yannis Hadzigeorgiou confirms his reputation as one of the most original and profound thinkers about science education and science pedagogy. His theoretical originality goes hand in hand with his groundbreaking research projects, which in turn are reflected in his practical work in applying his ideas in everyday classrooms. From theory to practice and back again, this book will reward careful educators.
