This extensively revised edition of "Progress in Primary Science" is intended for all those involved in training teachers of primary school science, both preservice and on INSET courses.

Provides a theoretical framework for teaching science that is firmly grounded in classroom practice, and covers various stages of education for students aged 5 to 12. The author details a constructivist view of learning, and gives advice on how teachers can help children change their perception to a more scientific view.

Takes a critical look at how students' achievements are assessed for a range of purposes, from reporting progress to selection and qualification. This work considers the relationship between what is taught, and how, and what and how learning outcomes are assessed.
