Sheldrake, Richard; Reiss, Michael J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Biology education aims to inspire interest, curiosity, and understanding about the natural world, foster children's interests and orientations towards supporting and protecting nature, and support children towards biology-related careers (including those involving nature and animals). However, it remains less clear how these views might associate…

Reiss, Michael J.; Tunnicliffe, Sue Dale – Journal of Biological Education, 2001
Explores implications of the view that there is no such thing as the scientific method for biology education. Suggests fresh approaches to the teaching of drawing in biology, the teaching of classification, and the teaching of human biology by illustrating opportunities for investigating and describing the world scientifically. (Contains 32…
