Mikeska, Jamie N.; Cisterna, Dante; Lakhani, Heena; Bookbinder, Allison K.; Myers, David L.; Vaval, Luronne – Science Education, 2023
Despite the importance of developing elementary science teachers' content knowledge for teaching (CKT), there are limited assessments that have been designed to measure the full breadth of their CKT at scale. Our overall research project addressed this gap by developing an online assessment to measure elementary preservice teachers' CKT about…

Ashli M. Wright; Marie Janelle Tacloban; Shelby Lake; Melissa McCartney – Discover Education, 2024
Scientific practices describe behaviors scientists engage in while investigating the natural world. Educators should be aware of different science practice frameworks to better understand their students' progression for learning science practices across the K-20 spectrum. For example, a high school AP instructor would benefit from understanding…

Marie Irmer; Dagmar Traub; Birgit J. Neuhaus – Cogent Education, 2024
A core element of teacherss' professional knowledge is their Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). The Refined Consensus Model of PCK defines three realms of PCK: collective PCK, personal PCK and enacted PCK. ePCK encompasses the acts of planning and reflecting on a lesson. Digital simulations allow the training of transferring pPCK to ePCK in…

Tiffany Fowler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
With the 2015 change in science standards to align more closely with the Next Generation Science Standards, as the district STEM coach, I saw a need for professional development that addressed the lack of understanding and skill needed to teach the Science and Engineering Practices, specifically the practice of Scientific Augmentation. This…

de Winter, James; Airey, John – Physics Education, 2022
This qualitative, questionnaire and interview-based study explores how pre-service physics teachers think about the role that mathematics plays in the teaching and learning of physics at university and school level and whether these views change during their pre-service teacher education. Many of the pre-service teachers were aware of the complex…

Ida Bagus Ari Arjaya; Anak Agung Inten Paraniti; Ni Putu Suarniti Noviantari – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Local culture has undergone significant shifts and alienations, leading to the neglect of societal values. This situation underscores the need for teachers to be well-prepared to incorporate local wisdom into science education, supporting Cultured-Based Learning. This study, conducted from January to June 2022, aimed to assess the relevance of…

Hanuscin, Deborah; Donovan, Deborah; Acevedo-Gutiérrez, Alejandro; Borda, Emily; DeBari, Susan; Melton, Josie; Le, Thanh; Morrison, Whitney; Ronca, Roxane – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
Despite calls for more attention to the preparation of those who prepare teachers, there have been few examples of institutionally sanctioned and structured learning opportunities created to equip faculty with the knowledge and skills necessary to become effective teacher educators. In this paper, we describe a cross-disciplinary and collaborative…

Becerra, Beatriz; Núñez, Paola; Vergara, Claudia; Santibáñez, David; Krüger, Dirk; Cofré, Hernán – Research in Science Education, 2023
Despite the importance of evolution to understand biology, there is significant evidence that many biology teachers have difficulties to successfully teach this topic. The purpose of this study is to describe procedures by which a paper-and-pencil instrument to assess teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for evolution (PCK[subscript evo]) was…

Park, Wonyong; Erduran, Sibel; Song, Jinwoong; Kim, Minchul – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
While many recent curriculum reforms recognise the value of history of science (HOS) in science teaching, in-depth investigations into teachers' experiences of planning HOS-based science lessons have been rare. We present a case study of two groups of preservice science teachers (PSTs) who collaboratively planned high school science lessons using…
