Abstract
This chapter reviews science learning in schools and evidence for the use and impact of IT. How a range of different IT-based resources that can enable science learning in particular contexts is discussed. The nature of science curricula is examined and recent developments in various countries are considered. Developments in pedagogy in relation to science education are reviewed and possible ways in which these pedagogical developments together with curriculum changes may be enhanced and supported by IT to provide new approaches to learning science are explored.
