‘The good science teacher has to work hard to shift students’ thinking, and that usually requires a good understanding of where students are now, and why they might be adopting particular ways of thinking.’ In his book, Keith Taber aims to provide the reader with the background to take on this challenge. He provides an overview of the research literature in the field, presented in a readable format and illustrated throughout with authentic examples from students.

Catherine Smith reviews Student thinking learning in science and considers it's effectiveness as a resource for science teachers.
