Volume III of this groundbreaking synthesis of research presents a comprehensive and cutting-edge survey that highlights new and emerging perspectives in science education. Building upon the foundations laid in Volumes I and II, Volume III offers a global-minded, up-to-date overview of the science education research community, showcasing its diversity. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised with new research and content, and Volume III has been further expanded to include comprehensive coverage of astronomy and space education, epistemic practices related to socioscientific issues, design-based research, interdisciplinary and STEM education, inclusive science education, and the global impact of nature of science and scientific inquiry literacy.

As with the previous volumes, Volume III is organized around six themes: theory and methods of science education research; science learning; diversity and equity; science teaching; curriculum and assessment; and science teacher education. Each chapter presents an integrative review of the research on the topic it addresses, synthesizing the existing literature, understanding historical trends and patterns, conceptualizing the issue within the literature, exploring the influence of methods and theories, and identifying strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the literature.

This handbook serves as a valuable resource for science education faculty, scholars, and graduate students, providing guidance and direction for the field. It serves as a comprehensive reference for all members of the science education community, pointing towards future research directions and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
