Besley, John C.; Dudo, Anthony; Storksdieck, Martin – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
This study assesses how scientists think about science communication training based on the argument that such training represents an important tool in improving the quality of interactions between scientists and the public. It specifically focuses on training related to five goals, including views about training to make science messages…

Varelas, Maria; Tucker-Raymond, Eli; Richards, Kimberly – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Guided by sociological perspectives that view (young) children as agents who are shaped by and shape the structures of social systems in which they live, we studied forms that agency of young children from historically marginalized groups may take in science class when offered opportunities to engage in science in a variety of ways, how curricular…

Houseal, Ana K.; Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad; Destefano, Lizanne – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
Engaging K-12 students in science-based inquiry is at the center of current science education reform efforts. Inquiry can best be taught through experiential, authentic science experiences, such as those provided by Student-Teacher-Scientist Partnerships (STSPs). However, very little is known about the impact of STSPs on teachers' and…

Southerland, Sherry A.; Gess-Newsome, Julie; Johnston, Adam – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
If the goals of science education reform are to be realized, science instruction must change across the academic spectrum, including at the collegiate level. This study examines the beliefs and teaching practices of three scientists as they designed and implemented an integrated science course for nonmajors that was designed to emphasize the…

Rahm, Jrene; Miller, Heather C.; Hartley, Laurel; Moore, John C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
We make the case for an emergent notion of authenticity of science based on systems theory and neo-Piagetian thought. We propose that authentic science is an emergent property of a dynamic system of learning precipitated by the interactions among students, teachers, and scientists that occur within the contexts defined by the internal and external…

O'Neill, D. Kevin; Polman, Joseph L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
In recent years, a number of curriculum reform projects have championed the notion of having students do science in ways that move beyond hands-on work with authentic materials and methods, or developing a conceptual grasp of current theories. These reformers have argued that students should come to an understanding of science through doing the…
