Kathryn N. Hayes; Jessica R. Gladstone; Brit Toven-Lindsey; Christine L. Bae – Science Education, 2025
This paper is part of the special issue on Teacher Learning and Practice within Organizational Contexts. Shifting instructional practices in elementary schools to include more equitable, reform-based pedagogies is imperative for supporting students' development as science learners. Teachers need high quality professional development (PD) to learn…

Amy Pallant; Christopher Lore; Hee-Sun Lee; Stephanie Seevers; Trudi Lord – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
This paper describes how plate tectonics and rock genesis, two topics that are typically addressed separately in secondary Earth science classes, can be taught together as an integrated system. We define the TecRocks Reasoning Framework, developed to support student reasoning about rock formation situated in the context of plate tectonics. We also…

Corinna Mo¨nch; Silvija Markic – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Language, and thus scientific language, is essential for chemistry teaching and learning. To be able to successfully teach the scientific language of chemistry, the Chemish, (prospective) chemistry teachers need to possess pedagogical scientific language knowledge (PSLK).Thus, teacher preparation needs to focus explicitly on Chemish and its…

Whitworth, Brooke A.; Rubino-Hare, Lori; Boateng, Francis; Hamlin, Anne; Bloom, Nena E.; Nolan, Eric – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The current study examined the effects of a nationally scaled up Professional Learning and Development (PLD) model on teachers' classroom implementation of the Geospatial Inquiry instructional framework. Geospatial Inquiry is defined as: asking and answering a research question through the analysis and communication of data that is linked to a…

Sage Andersen; María González-Howard; Karina Méndez Pérez – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
This study explored a middle school science teacher's curricular sensemaking in interaction with their use of an educative storyline curriculum, aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, that was intentionally designed for more opportunities for students' scientific sensemaking. Using a phenomenological case study methodology, we examined…

Avci, Filiz – Acta Educationis Generalis, 2022
Introduction: The aim of the study was to examine the effects on Primary School Teacher Candidates of developing and implementing jigsaw technique activities enriched with educational games in Science and Technology Teaching lessons. Methods: In the study, the mixed design was used. The single group pre-test post-test weak experimental pattern…

Ramon L. Sanchez III; Sheryl Lyn C. Monterola – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Understanding why teachers teach the way they do is important especially in a time of curriculum reforms. Hence, the aim of this research is to unpack the secondary school physical science teachers' beliefs on the purposes and goals of science teaching (PGST) and to check the alignment of their beliefs on PGST with constructivism. A convergent…

Tyler G. Smith; Karen S. McNeal – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Outdoor field experiences have long been part of the traditional curriculum in geoscience-related disciplines and are considered a key aspect of professional development in these areas. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancelation of many field excursions around the world, geoscience departments were forced to make abrupt changes to the ways…

Underwood, Sonia M.; Kararo, Alex T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While there have been an increasing number of evidence-based instructional strategies propagated, less literature exists on how to propagate a curriculum. This paper is meant to present how the theory of "Design-Based Implementation Research" (DBIR) can be used as a framework to propagate such innovative curricula. DBIR is a research…

Haagen-Schützenhöfer, Claudia; Hopf, Martin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] Although curriculum design has a long tradition in physics education research (PER), it is often criticized for unclear or inconsistent methodologies. One reason is that the theory-into-practice aspect frequently remains blurred. Only a few curriculum…

Kinskey, Melanie; Zeidler, Dana – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
Socioscientific issues (SSI) have been found to improve scientific literacy skills among K-12 students. Elementary preservice teachers (PSTs), however, are reluctant to implement SSI due to a lack of confidence with content knowledge concerning SSI and pedagogical abilities. Existing research focuses on helping PSTs overcome these concerns through…

Michael Valenti – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This study addresses the inadequacies of the traditional ninth-grade science curriculum at The Charter School of Wilmington (CSW) and proposes a focused initiative to enhance the curriculum's relevance and effectiveness. The current Integrated Science & Research curriculum lacks socioscientific inquiry, neglecting to incorporate social issues…

Delaney, Seamus; Ferguson, Joseph Paul; Schultz, Madeleine – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Recently, the chemistry education community has focused considerable effort on incorporating systems thinking into chemistry education as a means to address global challenges such as sustainability. In this project, a series of exploratory workshops was held with secondary educators (N = 12) and tertiary educators and researchers (N = 16),…

Testa, Italo; Psillos, Dimitris; Molohidis, Anastasios – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
This empirical study investigates the main features of curricula and contexts that favor or hinder the process of transfer of a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) from the designers' original situation to a host one. The specific research questions addressed were (RQ1) what were the changes made during the process of transfer in the new context?…

Esch, R. Keith; Burbacher, Emily; Dodrill, Eric; Fussell, Kristen DeVanna; Magdich, Mitchell; Norris, Heather; Midden, W. Robert – Horizon Research, Inc., 2020
Citizen science (CS) projects have become widespread in part because they expand the capacity of professional scientists, enabling research that would otherwise be impracticable or unaffordable. In addition to the research benefits, educators and scientists have seen educational value in CS because it can incorporate students into real-world…
