This broad interest book is the sequel to the authors' IOP Concise Physics book 'Investigative Science Learning Environment: When learning physics mirrors doing physics', published in 2019. In the first book, the authors described the ISLE approach to learning physics: its philosophy, main components, and brief examples.

In this new book the authors will systematically discuss how the ISLE approach helps teachers (prospective and present) develop productive habits of mind and practice that will allow them to prepare their students for success in the 21st century. The authors will show how to use the ISLE approach in teacher preparation and professional development to help develop productive teaching habits as the foundation of high-quality teaching practice. Only those who can engage their students in collaborative exploratory work can systematically facilitate active student learning.

The introduction to the book will re-introduce the ISLE approach for those who did not read the first book and will describe the framework of productive habits. The next chapters will discuss the habits of mind and practice and connect them to the elements of the ISLE approach. The book will then take the reader through the elements of the teacher preparation program that will help develop these habits. Finally, the book will discuss how professional development programs can help practicing teachers develop the new habits and stop using the old ones. The book will also include worked physics examples, case studies and interludes at the end of each chapter.

Key Features:

  • Discusses the practical implementation of the ISLE approach, a teaching system in which students learn physics using processes that mirror scientific practice
  • Shows how to use the ISLE approach in teacher preparation and professional development of in-service teachers
  • The ISLE approach develops epistemic knowledge and competencies such as experimental design, evaluation of multiple solutions and communication
  • Includes worked physics examples, case studies and interludes at the end of each chapter
  • Valuable for physics courses of any level (from middle school to graduate coursework)
