This unit of study is undertaken by double method science students who will have addressed the NSW Institute of Teachers' requirements for accreditation as a science teacher (in two secondary science areas) in their other units of study. This unit provides students with the opportunity to explore in more depth the nature of the science education research literature, its role in informing practice and policy in science teaching, learning, assessment and curriculum, and the key themes in current research in science education. The unit will examine the notion of research led teaching, its implications for teacher awareness of trends in the contemporary literature and the role of the teacher as a researcher
