Bücher der Reihe Innovations in Science Education and Technology

Robert Karplus, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, became a leader in the movement to reform elementary school science in the 1960s. This book tries to capture the essence of his life and work and presents selections of his published articles in a helpful context.

The book's argument depends, as do most proposals in education, upon cer tain positions in the philosophy of education.
