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:…

High school biology students are provided few classroom opportunities to learn natural history or to see themselves as scientists. This poses a risk to their gaining the basic knowledge needed to play a positive role in the biodiversity crisis. However, science-as-practice in the classroom introduces the opportunity to equip students with…

Celestino, Teresa; Marchetti, Fabio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This paper focuses on system concept use in teaching either chemical core concepts or interdisciplinary chemistry-related topics. The system concept is important in order to develop global competences, and chemistry teaching plays a key role in this context. A questionnaire has been administered to two different samples, Italian teachers and…

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…

Leah Sarah Reingold Gordon – ProQuest LLC, 2023
High school chemistry is essential. Every citizen needs basic chemistry background to understand current events, and millions more can benefit from further study. Nevertheless, students do not always continue learning chemistry, even when they could do so. The loss of potential learning is significantly more common for girls, economically…

Stoeckel, 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…

Beardsley, Paul; Csikari, Melissa; Ertzman, Ashley; Jeffus, Meghan – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Teachers are eager for professional development on teaching evolution, especially if it includes direct ties to relevant curricula and detailed lesson plans. Howard Hughes Medical Institute's BioInteractive Online Professional Learning: Evolution course was developed to provide educators with free, in-depth, multimedia resources that highlight…

Dumar, John – Physics Teacher, 2021
When our school implemented AP Physics 1, I wanted to include a project that would extend over time, use more advanced data analysis, and teach students about handling experimental error. Using a donated 5-inch Newtonian telescope and an entry-level digital camera, the students gathered data from digital images of the four Galilean moons, Io,…

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…

Learning Experiences of Advanced Placement Science Students in High School: A Qualitative Case Study
Abey K. Tharian – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Well-rounded school education is the foundation for better college education and future career success. In order to improve the standard of school education, parents, administrators, and school boards around the nation are modifying the curriculum with advanced content materials. College Board is making use of this opportunity to introduce…

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…

Foster, Elizabeth – Learning Professional, 2021
Project-based learning is popular with many parents, students, and teachers because of its focus on problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and real-world application (Gallup, 2019). It encourages teachers to act as facilitators while students actively engage in teacherand student-posed learning challenges, working alone and in groups on…

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…
