Methods and Materials for Teaching the Biological Sciences: A Text and Source Book for Teachers in Training and in Service
This book is a comprehensive guide for biology teachers in training and in service, emphasizing practical classroom methods and the effective use of instructional materials. It encourages moving beyond textbook-only instruction and promotes the use of living materials, demonstrations, student projects, and inexpensive apparatus.
The text is divided into two major parts:
Part I focuses on general principles and objectives of teaching biological sciences, designed especially for teacher education courses.
Part II provides detailed, practical guidance on classroom materials, laboratory methods, and project-based learning.
The second edition represents a revision and expansion of the original 1938 edition, reflecting developments in science education and pedagogy up to the early 1960s.
