Reconceptualizing the Nature of Science for Science Education Scientific Knowledge, Practices and Other Family Categories

“This 8-chapter, 190-page, extensively documented Reconceptualizing book is a welcome addition to the field of Nature of Science (NOS) research in science education. … The authors of Reconceptualizing provide rich, detailed and practical evaluation of research literature across the whole NOS spectrum, and well work out their own elaboration of the FRA … . In summary, an excellent and richly documented book that will progress NOS research in science education.” (Michael R. Matthews, Studies in Science Education, Vol. 53 (1), November, 2017)

“Teacher educators would find the book useful, both for introducing theoretical aspects of NOS in their courses and for the cases and examples included in it. In particular, the generative images have potential to be worthwhile tools in weaving NOS in science education.” (María Pilar Jiménez-Aleixandre, Science and Education,Vol. 24, 2015)
