Research shows that that children learn science and engineering subjects best by engaging from an early age in the kinds of practices used by real scientists and engineers. By doing science and engineering, children not only develop and refine their understanding of the core ideas and crosscutting concepts of these disciplines, but can also be…

Peer reviewedAnderson, Blythe E.; Wright, Tanya S.; Gotwals, Amelia Wenk – Journal of Literacy Research, 2023
The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which teachers use language to promote vocabulary development (i.e., vocabulary talk moves) during science instruction in early-elementary classrooms. Twenty-four total science lessons were recorded by eight teachers, providing 894.27 min of observational data across three timepoints. Discourse…

James Deehan; Amy MacDonald – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2024
In recent decades a body of research has emerged supporting the effectiveness of a plethora of science teaching practices in improving learners' science achievement and scientific literacy. However, if the benefits of evidence-based science practice are to be realised consistently and at scale we need to improve our understanding of how teachers…

Julie Tomczak – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This action research study aimed to find ways to adjust my practice by incorporating inquiry-based, science activities and virtual simulations to improve student conceptual understanding of physical and chemical changes. A multi-lesson, curricular intervention combining inquiry-based activities and virtual simulations was developed using…

Waller, Nicky – Primary Science, 2021
Best Evidence Science Teaching (BEST) is a large online collection of resources developed for effective teaching of difficult ideas in science, currently for use in secondary schools. The unique selling point of BEST is that it enables teachers to draw on the best research evidence when teaching a wide range of topics in the science curriculum.…

Masters, Heidi – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2020
Within two sections of science methods for elementary and middle-school teachers, an embedded, multi-case study design was employed to explore whether teaching rehearsals would better prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) to implement explanation-driven science instruction. A teaching rehearsal allows PSTs to practice teaching a segment of their…

W.; Buck Bracey, Zoë E.; Deutch Noll, Jamie; Kowalski, Susan M.; Novak, Dawn; Lo, Abraham S.; Landel, Carolyn; Krumm, Andrew; Penuel, William R.; Van Horne, Katie; González-Howard, María; Suárez, Enrique – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
OpenSciEd is an ambitious effort to implement the vision of the "Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the "Next Generation Science Standards" broadly across the United States. The premise of OpenSciEd is that high quality instructional materials can play a critical role in transforming science teaching and learning at a…

Price, Colin – Teaching Science, 2019
This article proposes an evidence-based and engaging approach to teaching the mechanisms driving the movement of tectonic plates that should lead high school students towards the prevalent theories used in peer-reviewed science journals and taught in universities. The methods presented replace the inaccurate and outdated focus on mantle convection…

Ringstaff, Cathy; Sandholtz, Judith Haymore – Advances in STEM Education, 2018
Improvements in teachers' pedagogical content knowledge are critical in improving science education but may be insufficient to support and sustain instructional changes. This chapter describes how contextual factors influenced teachers' use of research-based instructional strategies learned in professional development. The research draws on…

In this study, we described a curricular module on computational thinking (CT) integrated within an undergraduate, senior level elementary science methods course, and developed insights on elementary preservice science teachers' (PSTs) thoughts, feelings, and actions about CT integration. Our research question was: "Following participation in…

Kim, Mijung; Pegg, Jerine – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
Recognising critical reasoning and problem-solving as one of the key skills for twenty-first century citizenship, various types of problem contexts have been practiced in science classrooms to enhance students' understandings and use of evidence-based thinking and justification. Good problems need to allow students to adapt and evaluate the…

Irby, Beverly J.; Tong, Fuhui; Lara-Alecio, Rafael; Tang, Shifang; Guerrero, Cindy; Wang, Zhuoying; Zhen, Fubiao – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2021
In this empirical study we examined the effect of a literacy-infused science intervention on fifth grade economically challenged students' science achievement in the curriculum-based and standardized assessments. A total of 27 treatment students and 20 comparison students from two intermediate schools in a rural district in South Texas in the…

Lambirth, Andrew; Cabral, Ana; McDonald, Roger – Teacher Development, 2019
With performativity and evidence-based teaching, the development of action research (AR) by teachers brings tensions and challenges as teachers move outside their comfort zones and question their practice. This article draws on a small-scale research study developed with teachers. It was funded as part of a professional development initiative by a…

Carroll, Kathleen, Ed. – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2021
In school districts and charter school networks nationwide, instructional leaders are developing plans to address the enormous challenges faced by their students, families, teachers, and staff over the past year. To help kick-start the planning process, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute presents "The Acceleration Imperative," an…

Roth, Kathleen J.; Bintz, Jody; Wickler, Nicole I. Z.; Hvidsten, Connie; Taylor, Joseph; Beardsley, Paul M.; Caine, Arlo; Wilson, Christopher D. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2017
Background: Most studies of teacher professional development (PD) do not rigorously test impact on teaching practice and student learning. This makes it difficult to define what is truly "effective." The "Science Teachers Learning from Lesson Analysis" (STeLLA) PD program, in contrast, was studied in a cluster randomized…
