В книге обсуждается самые последние исследования в основных сферах естественно-научного образования. Предоставлена очень богатая библиография, и поэтому можно углубляться дальше в любую из обсуждаемых тем. Практически со всем что написанно в книге я столкнулся в модуле Foundations of Science Education. Я считаю что это мастрид для любого учителя science.
