Conceptions of Creativity in Elementary School Science. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Newton, L., & Newton, D. (2009). Conceptions of Creativity in Elementary School Science.

Creativity is generally seen as something good but it is commonly viewed as something which happens in the arts rather than in the sciences. This study of trainee teachers identified their conceptions of creativity in the context of elementary school... Read More about Conceptions of Creativity in Elementary School Science..

Creativity is generally considered to be something to encourage in young children. It is, however, popularly associated more with the arts than with the sciences. This study used phenomenographic analysis to identify some primary school student teach... Read More about Some student teachers' conceptions of creativity in school science.

A Procedure for Assessing Textbook Support for Reasoned Thinking (2009)
Journal Article
Newton, L., & Newton, D. (2009). A Procedure for Assessing Textbook Support for Reasoned Thinking

Reason-based understanding is a powerful kind of learning and is often a desired outcome in the classroom. When it is a goal, textbooks which concern themselves with this kind of understanding may offer the teacher subject and pedagogical knowledge a...

Primary school teachers generally have to teach several subjects. Their training, however, is often fairly short and it is tempting to force-feed them with everything they need to know to teach these subjects. It is more realistic to accept that a sh...
