Summary

This chapter sets up the distinctions and connections between the two major concepts of the book: science and engineering practices and self-regulated learning. Ideas about the makeup of the discipline of science and the discipline of engineering are explored and analyzed for their alignment with the practices. Conceptual, procedural, and epistemic knowledge are discussed to demonstrate how science and engineering practices are the lynchpin for learning disciplinary knowledge. The chapter also guides the reader on how to use the book to support research and teacher education.
