A word association test was used to determine knowledge structures on biochemistry concepts of secondary school chemistry students, aged between 18-19 years. The basic biochemistry concepts related to the topic of Carbohydrates that take place in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme curriculum were determined as stimulus words:…

Graham, Savannah R.; Bloom, Mark A.; Fuentes, Sarah Quebec; Jimerson, Jo Beth – Journal of Educational Supervision, 2022
The present case centers on a socioscientific issues-based lesson taught by a preservice teacher (PST) in an AP Biology class. The PST designed and delivered a lesson on disease transmission and ways to avoid infection with connections to the COVID-19 pandemic mask mandates and vaccine reticence. The Principal received several emails from parents…

Direct linkStoeckel, Marta R. – Physics Teacher, 2020
One of the many ways issues of underrepresentation appear in the physics classroom is female students frequently have a lower perception of their performance and ability than their male peers. Understanding how classroom experiences impact students' confidence, especially for underrepresented students, can provide an important guide to designing…

Jason Sox – Impacting Education: Journal on Transforming Professional Practice, 2025
This action research case study investigates the integration a culturally and socially diverse curriculum in an Advanced Placement Chemistry course. Motivated by a recognition of limited multicultural teaching practices, four thematic units grounded in culturally relevant pedagogy and social reconstructionism were created and implemented. The use…

Astronomy is considered by many to be a gateway science owing to its ability to inspire curiosity in everyone irrespective of age, culture, or general inclination towards science. Currently, where there is a global push to get more students engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, astronomy provides an invaluable conduit to…

Marasco, David; Dreyfuss, Bree Barnett – Physics Teacher, 2022
In 2018, in response to the proposed elimination of physics at a predominately Hispanic and socioeconomically disadvantaged (SED) high school, the Northern California/Nevada chapter of the AAPT investigated school demographics and their effect on physics offerings in public high schools in our region. As access was a key issue, the focus was on…

Burkholder, Eric W.; Wieman, Carl E. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
We examined the variation in Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE) preclass scores according to the type of physics class a student had in high school. This was done for students who had taken Physics 1 at a highly selective university. The majority of students had taken an Advanced Placement (AP) physics course, allowing us to examine in…

McCoy, Ayana; Jurist Levy, Abigail; Frumin, Kim; Lawrenz, Frances; Dede, Christopher; Eisenkraft, Arthur; Fischer, Christian; Fishman, Barry; Foster, Brandon – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2020
From 2012-2015, Advanced Placement (AP) science courses underwent a large-scale curricular reform to include more scientific inquiry and reasoning, reduce emphasis on broad content coverage, and focus on depth of understanding, with corresponding changes in high-stakes AP examinations. In this study, we explored how teachers prepared for and…

Rosenberg, Joshua M.; Lawson, Michael A. – Education Sciences, 2019
Science educators have begun to explore how students have opportunities to not only view and manipulate simulations, but also to analyze the complex sources of data they generate. While scholars have documented the characteristics and the effects of using simulations as a source of data in face-to-face, K-12 classrooms, how simulations can be…

Jagesic, Sanja; Wyatt, Jeff – College Board, 2022
The Advanced Placement® (AP®) Program offers high school students the opportunity to take rigorous coursework in high school and receive college credit for AP Exam scores that meet or exceed the requirements of their attending institution. Students receiving AP credit are typically exempted from an introductory level course or series of courses…

Young, Jamaal; Young, Jemimah – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2018
The researchers tested a model of the structural relationship between Black student engagement in out-of-school time (OST) science enrichment and participation in advanced science courses in high school. The participants in the sample were Black students (N = 3,173) who participated in the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009/2012. The student…

Conger, Dylan; Long, Mark C.; McGhee, Raymond, Jr. – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
To evaluate how Advanced Placement courses affect college-going, we randomly assigned the offer of enrollment into an AP science course to over 1,800 students in 23 schools that had not previously offered the course. We find no substantial AP course effects on students' plans to enroll in college or on their college entrance exam scores. Yet AP…

Metlí, Akin; Akis, Dinçer – Latin American Journal of Content and Language Integrated Learning, 2022
Limited studies investigate the high school teachers' challenges and strategies while teaching science and mathematics in English as the target language through the content and language integrated learning (CLIL) approach. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the challenges that science and math teachers encounter and the strategies they employ…

Humphrey, Sally – Language and Education, 2020
This paper reports on research which has explored essential requirements for pedagogies of hope, including the expansion of teachers' semiotic knowledge. The study, a professional learning intervention with teachers of young multilingual learners engaged in science inquiry, was informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) descriptions of…

Donnelly, Dermot Francis – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
There are few examples of NGSS specific projects at the high school level, particularly those linking chemistry and engineering practices. Further, there are few studies that provide concrete examples of how such projects can support students' submicrorepresentations (SMRs). This study reports on the implementation of an NGSS-aligned…
