Learning from Animations in Science Education Innovating in Semiotic and Educational Research

Innovations in Science Education and Technology Volume 25

Series editor Karen C. Cohen Weston, MA, USA

As technology rapidly matures and impacts on our ability to understand science as well as on the process of science education, this series focuses on in-depth treatment of topics related to our common goal: global improvement in science education. Each research-based book is written by and for researchers, faculty, teachers, students, and educational technologists. Diverse in content and scope, they reflect the increasingly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches required to effect change and improvement in teaching, policy, and practice and provide an understanding of the use and role of the technologies in bringing benefit globally to all. Book proposals for this series may be submitted to the Publishing Editor: Claudia Acuna E-mail: [email protected]
