{"product_id":"childrens-informal-ideas-in-science-1","title":"Children's Informal Ideas in Science","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ideas that children have about science concepts have for the past decade been the subject of a wealth of international research. But while the area has been strong in terms of data, it has suffered from a lack of theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eChildren's Informal Ideas in Science\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the question of whether children's ideas about science can be explained in a single theoretical framework. Twelve different approaches combine to tackle this central issue, each taking a deliberately critical standpoint. The contributors address such themes as values in research, the social construction of knowledge and the work of Piaget in a rich contribution to the debate without claiming finally to resolve it. The authors conclude with a discussion of how a theory can be built up, along with suggestions for ways ahead in the research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246607487320,"sku":"9780415005395","price":210.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415005395.jpg?v=1777784424","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/childrens-informal-ideas-in-science-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
