"This volume will examine research, theory, and policy related to reform issues and events surrounding the development, status, influence, and future of active laboratory type experiences and the use of technology in science teaching. What is the role of practical laboratory work and active learning in science classroom teaching in the 21st century? What has been the response of teachers to the introduction of technology in science teaching since the late 1980's? What are the results of the use of the laboratory and introduction of technology on teachers, classrooms, and students as measured through the national science standards? What practices are supported by research? What works in K16 settings?"--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE
