Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Offering a plurality of voices with international viewpoints, this edited volume captures the sometimes-troubling state of elementary science education. This resource may be helpful for science teacher educators, advanced graduate students preparing to conduct research in this field, and school policy makers employing research-based decision-making strategies. Highly recommended."-CHOICE
