Zembylas, Michalinos; Isenbarger, Lynn
Research in Science Education, v32 n1 p55-79 2002
Describes and analyzes the role of a teacher's caring and enthusiasm in an inclusive science classroom. Reveals that this teacher's approach focuses on two major ideas: (1) Combining activity-oriented science curriculum with the building of caring relationships in her classroom; and (2) Developing enthusiasm for science and fulfilling students' personal purposes. Analyzes a case study of one student labeled as learning disabled. (Author/MM)
