DESCRIPTION:What is the optimum level of guidance teachers should provide 
 when teaching scientific concepts and skills? Which teaching approach work
 s the best and for whom? How do students’ previous knowledge and achieve
 ment level interact with teaching? During the first part of the talk I wil
 l explore these questions and introduce the audience in current debates in
  science education research concerning the “best” way to teach science
  in schools and more particularly in primary schools.  In the second part 
 of the talk\, I will offer some empirical insight into how educational res
 earchers study these sort of questions and what are the challenges they fa
 ce in a school environment. Examples from my PhD work will be provided.
