This multiple case study analysis investigated the perceptions of four science teachers who were repeat attendees at professional development programs coordinated by a university center. Adult learning theory provided a lens to view the motivated participants of the study and each of the five assumptions were present. Semi-structured interviews…

Using a panel data set of scientists in the US, we examine the hypothesis that workers in jobs poorly matched to their education are more likely to retire. In pooled estimates, we confirm that the mismatched are more likely to retire and that among retirees, the mismatched retire at younger ages. Hazard function estimates also support the…

Schwartzman, Roy; Kirchoff, Bruce K.; Cuny, Kimberly M. – Communication Center Journal, 2019
The communicative relationships between scientists and audiences they address beyond their specialized fields have become increasingly strained. These fractures result not simply from an ill-informed lay public, but from deeper trepidation about the ethos of science. This forum offers three distinct, yet intertwined, interdisciplinary perspectives…

Vuong, Quan-Hoang; Napier, Nancy K.; Ho, Tung Manh; Nguyen, Viet Ha; Vuong, Thu-Trang; Pham, Hiep Hung; Nguyen, Hong Kong To – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
Identifying factors that affect research productivity is critical to both the scientific community and policy-makers. This topic is especially useful for developing countries like Vietnam where such studies are scarce with limited original data. This paper, through a manual data collection process that yields the profiles of 406 Vietnamese social…

Harmon, Stephanie; Pallant, Amy; Pryputniewicz, Sarah – Science Teacher, 2019
Constructing scientific arguments is an important skill, and is specifically addressed by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) science and engineering practice of Engaging in Arguments From Evidence. To ensure that students understand the significance of a scientific argument, they need experiences that will help them understand, use, and…

Chowning, Jeanne Ting – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Argumentation is a central epistemic process contributing to the generation, evaluation, and application of new scientific knowledge. A key challenge for science educators and researchers is to understand how important social dimensions of argumentation, such as collaborative sense-making discourse, can be implemented in learning environments in…

Godfrey, Gabrielle; LaPlaca, Stephanie B.; Heintz, Melissa M. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
What's in Our Waters Jr. (WOW Jr.) is an environmental outreach program designed to teach fourth grade elementary students about watershed protection. This program is unique because of the partnership that brings together students, teachers, scientists, and water resource professionals to promote science education and environmental stewardship in…

Short, Philip C.; Bruster, Benita G.; Meisch, Karen A.; Sullivan, Lisa M.; Berry, Tasha A. – SRATE Journal, 2022
Shortages of STEM teachers have presented challenges to school employers for decades. Additionally, universities are tasked to produce science teachers of better quality, equipped in both content and pedagogical strategies. Undergraduate STEM majors with no prior inclination toward teaching were strategically selected to receive pedagogical…

Nurse, Paul – Journal of Biological Education, 2016
Understanding how science is done increases trust in science as it can be seen to be built on reliable data, rational argument and repeated testing. If science is taught as just an assemblage of facts without dealing with the process which gave rise to those facts, then why should pupils trust science more than fables or pseudoscience? Everyone…

Bauer, Anja; Pregernig, Michael; Reinecke, Sabine – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2016
This article asks how scientific advisory institutions (SAIs) in climate policy strive towards effectiveness. Our analysis is grounded on the assumption that effectiveness is not passively experienced but is deliberately enacted by SAIs. We draw on a widely used set of criteria, namely saliency, credibility and legitimacy (SCL). Based on an…

Garcia Moreno-Esteva, Enrique; Kervinen, Anttoni; Hannula, Markku S.; Uitto, Anna – Education Sciences, 2020
In this article we discuss, as a proof of concept, how a network model can be used to analyse gaze tracking data coming from a preliminary experiment carried out in a biodiversity education research project. We discuss the network model, a simple directed graph, used to represent the gaze tracking data in a way that is meaningful for the study of…

Luis; Ramirez-Alvarado, Marina – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Diversity-focused committees continue to play essential roles in the efforts of professional scientific societies to foster inclusion and facilitate the professional development of underrepresented minority (URM) young scientists in their respective scientific disciplines. Until recently, the efforts of these committees have remained independent…

Haynes, Brittany; Brimacombe, Kyle; Hare, Christy; Faupel-Badger, Jessica – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) defines translational science as "the field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process." A major goal of translational science is to determine commonalities across projects to…

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…

Larsson, Johanna; Airey, John; Lundqvist, Eva – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
This study explores the culture of physics departments in Sweden in relation to physics teacher education. The commitment of physics departments to teacher education is crucial for the quality of physics teacher education and the way in which physics lecturers talk about teacher education is significant, since it can affect trainees' physics…
