Sizer, Ashlie; Tharp, Heather; Wrigley, Jennifer; Al-Bataineh, Adel; Park, Do-Yong – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The purpose of the study is to investigate how pre-service elementary teachers' orientation about science inquiry impacts their implementation of inquiry-based instruction. Teaching orientation is one of the levels of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) which impacts on teachers' instructional practice. With thirty-one pre-service teachers, data…

Paz, Giovanni Scataglia Botelho; Locatelli, Solange Wagner – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2023
Science education objectives in Brazil have evolved over time. Initially, the focus was on creating scientifically literate citizens who could relate scientific concepts to their daily lives. In 2017, the São Paulo City Curriculum for Natural Sciences was introduced to teach students scientific literacy through inquiry-based teaching methods. This…

Carroll Steward, Kimberly; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Chandler, Mark; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
In the past decade, emphasis on promoting "climate literacy" in K-16 science classrooms has increased. Teachers play a critical role in cultivating these opportunities, especially in secondary science classrooms. However, most prior climate education research has focused on students and student learning; little is known about how…

Hammack, Rebekah; Ivey, Toni – Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Background: The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call for the integration of engineering content and practices in elementary science curricula, yet little is known about elementary teachers' preparedness to do so or their views on teaching engineering. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of the current study was to explore K-5 teachers'…

Kimberly L. Ideus; M. Gail Jones; Julianna Nieuwsma; Emma Refvem; Kathleen Bordewieck – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Although teachers' instruction has been extensively studied, there is a dearth of research investigating how teachers design lessons and integrate new information into their existing lessons. This study utilized a case study approach to examine how teachers engaged in a nanoscale science professional development experience integrated new science…

Nilsen, Katy; Iveland, Ashley; Britton, Ted; Tyler, Burr; Arnett, Elizabeth – WestEd, 2019
This report describes how effective environmental literacy can be for catalyzing Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) teaching, and how the California K-8 NGSS Early Implementers Initiative has provided professional learning about environmental literacy to prompt and support this synergy. The report also outlines how the California Science…

Baroudi, Sandra; Rodjan Helder, Marlieke – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Implementing Inquiry-Based Instruction (IBI) in science is a complex process demanding certain classroom conditions prepared with instructional materials to engage students in tasks, as well as adopting the social context that will shape the inquiry-based learning environment. Within this social context, teachers are the main agents…

James, Angela A.; Beni, Saritha; Stears, Michele – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2019
Background: Foundation phase teachers are not science specialists; however, they are expected to teach science. It is important that research determines where teachers face challenges in teaching science in order to assist them to bridge the gaps and to improve their competence in teaching science. Aim: The aim of this research was to explore…

Lesseig, Kristin; Slavit, David; Nelson, Tamara Holmlund – Middle School Journal, 2017
Given the current emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and its key attributes, middle school is an optimal time to implement STEM-based curricula. However, the interdisciplinary and open-ended nature of STEM projects often makes implementation difficult. In this article, we describe a professional development…

Pugh, Kevin J.; Bergstrom, Cassendra M.; Heddy, Benjamin C.; Krob, Karen E. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
The Teaching for Transformative Experiences in Science (TTES) model was designed to facilitate the application of academic learning in students' everyday experiences. In the current study, we describe a 2-year design-based intervention that aimed to further develop and evaluate the TTES model. In the first year, a teacher implemented the TTES…

Lachapelle, Cathy Pauline; Oh, Yoonkyung; Cunningham, Christine M. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
We present main effects of treatment and moderating effects of student background on science and engineering outcomes for grades 3-5 children participating in an engineering intervention. Data is from a large-scale randomized-controlled trial of two matched pairs (intervention and comparison) of engineering units. The intervention curriculum…

Allen, I. Elaine; Seaman, Jeff – Babson Survey Research Group, 2017
The objective of this study is to better understand the process by which K-12 school districts select curricula materials in four critical subject areas: Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, and History and Social Studies. This research has two primary goals: (1) to understand the process by which K-12 school districts select and adopt…

Charles J. Eick; Michael Dias – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2016
The first author re-entered the middle grades classroom to teach a new National Science Foundation (NSF) physical science curriculum that was designed to foster conceptual change through a scientific approach. The curriculum design met the need and call for reform in science education through its focus on inquiry, evidence-based reasoning, peer…

Beni, Saritha; Stears, Michèle; James, Angela – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2012
This study explores foundation phase teachers' understanding of the natural science curriculum within the life skills learning programme. The theoretical framework for this study is entrenched in the relationship between the intended and the implemented curriculum. The Zone of Feasible Innovation (ZFI) is the proposed theory of implementation and…

Blanchard, Margaret R.; Osborne, Jason W.; Wallwork, Cathy; Harris, Elizabeth S. – Science Educator, 2013
Engaging students in inquiry-based science is a potentially powerful way for students to understand science-as-practice (Lehrer & Schauble, 2006; NRC, 2007). Students who gain a more meaningful understanding of the processes of science will be more prepared citizens as consumers, science enthusiasts, or civic minded participants (Toumey et…
