Cognitive Science and Science Education

" The quality of science education, like mathematics education, is a pervasive concern in educational improvement efforts. The cognitive orientation to the teaching of subject matter provides the context for Carey" s discussion of science education. This orientation begins with the idea that to understand something, one must integrate it with already existing knowledge schemata. The paradox of ...

Postdigital Play and the Aesthetics of Recruitment

This paper analyses reconfigurations of play in newly emergent material and digital configurations of game design. It extends recent work examining dimensions of hybridity in playful products by turning attention to interfaces, practices and spaces, rather than devices. We argue that the concept of hybrid play relies on predefining clear and distinct entities that then enter into hybrid situati...

Science and Education Studies

In preclinical studies of antiherpetic drug activity, it was proved that Proteflazid has polypharmacological effects. It blocks DNA polymerase and thymidine kinase in the herpes-infected cells, induces the synthesis of endogenous αand γ-interferons, has an antioxidant activity and provides an apoptosismodulating effect. In clinical practice, the etiopathogenetic drug efficacy of Proteflazid (dr...

Against Science Education: the Aims of Science Education and Their Connection to School Science Curricula

To clarify: in this chapter I will speak only of compulsory science education in schools; much of what I say will not transfer across to either science electives in schools or to undergraduate science. Such science education, like all compulsory education, is an exercise in force against students. Overriding individual autonomy in this way is not to be lightly done and should involve appeal to ...
