This holds particularly true for concepts in science and technology education where learning concepts by doing design activities is potentially a powerful way to overcome that learning barrier. Much depends, however, on the role of the teacher.    Design-Based Concept Learning in Science and Technology Education brings together contributions from researchers that have investigated what conditions need to be fulfilled to make design-based education work. The chapters contain studies from a variety of topics and concepts in science and technology education. So far, studies on design-based learning have been published in a variety of journals, but never before were the outcomes of those studies brought together in one volume. Now an overview of insights about design-based concept learning is presented with expectations about future directions and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    PART 1: Introduction  1 Design-Based Concept Learning: An Introduction   Ineke Henze and Marc J. de Vries  2 Design-Based Learning in Science and Technology as Integrated STEM   Marc J. de Vries    PART 2: Science Concepts  3 The Nature of Matter in a Design-Based Chemistry Task: From Macroscopic Properties to the Microscopic Models of Materials Using the Notion of Activity Theory for Curriculum Design   Astrid M.
