This book presents a Mixed-Methods Research Study in a comprehensible and reader-friendly format. The author presents a path-breaking research study employing a Quasi-Experimental Design to develop and subsequently determine the Effectiveness of a Pedagogical Strategy based on Aesthetic Approach to teach Science to Upper Primary Stage students. The emerging aesthetic understanding of students is analyzed qualitatively and seamlessly embedded within the major quantitative research paradigm. The investigation is a leading contemporary research study in Science Education that highlights the much neglected aim of developing an aesthetic understanding of Science ideas through a uniquely developed strategy of teaching and learning of Science. This makes the text a definite introductory resource for researchers interested in these psychological constructs. The book elucidates and ascertains a number of dependent variables along with interaction effects of moderator variables among Upper Primary Stage learners. The book aims to guide teachers and teacher educators of Science Pedagogy, as well as teacher education institutions (TEIs), educators, policy makers and education researchers through its pertinent findings. The book concludes by suggesting measures to enhance the teaching-learning of Science and consequently Science Education. Due to its contribution in the field of Educational Research and Science Education, this Mixed-Methods Research Study is an evidence-based approach to both the theory and the practice of Science Pedagogy.
