Lowell, Benjamin R.; McNeill, Katherine L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Reforms such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call for substantial change in teacher practice such as instruction that is more phenomenon-based, three-dimensional, supportive of student epistemic agency, and coherent from the student perspective. Such change requires ongoing support in the form of aligned curricular materials and…

Mostacedo-Marasovic, Silvia-Jessica; Mott, Brooke Colleen; White, Holly; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Water is one of Earth's fundamental natural systems. It is crucial to foster water literacy in today's global citizens, particularly through formal education. The purpose of this research, in parallel with a study focused on human dimensions of water systems (Mostacedo-Marasovic et al., in press), is to examine water-related K-12 standards for…

Genisa, Marlina Ummas; Subali, Bambang; Djukri; Agussalim, Andi; Habibi, Habibi – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2020
This paper analyzes the implementation of socio-scientific issues (SSI) as an alternative in science learning. The content analysis approach is used for mapping implementation of social-scientific problems around the world and is created using the ArcGIS 10.5 program. The findings highlight how the distribution patterns of SSI implementation are…

Benjamin R. Lowell – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Science education is shifting from a vision of students memorizing facts towards engaging in figuring out the natural world as students build ideas from their own experiences and backgrounds. This shift is hard for teachers. One way to support teachers is curriculum-based professional development, which pairs high-quality instructional materials…

Fick, Sarah J.; Chiu, Jennifer L.; McElhaney, Kevin W. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2022
Recent national reforms focus on learning disciplinary core ideas through engaging in science and engineering practices. These reforms also call for students and teachers to use crosscutting concepts (CCCs), or analytical lenses, that support scientific sensemaking and connections across disciplines. The "Framework for K-12 Science…

Elizabeth F. Hasseler – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Since the launch of Sputnik by the U.S.S.R. on October 4, 1957, the United States has aimed to bolster nationwide STEM education with the intention of creating a strong STEM pipeline. Despite many efforts, there remains a distinct lack of diversity in the STEM career fields, and many people cannot accurately describe what engineers do. These two…
