Seah, Lay Hoon – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
Although the importance of language in science learning has been widely recognized by researchers, there is limited research on how science teachers perceive the roles that language plays in science classrooms. As part of an intervention design project that aimed to enhance teachers' capacity to address the language demands of science, interview…

Rees, Simon William; Kind, Vanessa; Newton, Douglas – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
Students commonly find the language of chemistry challenging and a barrier to developing understanding. This study investigated developments in chemical language understanding by a group of non-traditional students over the duration of a one year pre-undergraduate (Foundation) course at a UK university. The chemistry course was designed to include…

Gaston, Paul L. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2014
Although business and higher education may use the same language, it does not always have the same meaning. In this article, author Paul Gaston writes that there is nothing to be gained, and in fact much to be lost, if educational leaders do not know how to tell others who they are. Academic leaders tend to frame issues in a purely academic…

Abrams, Sandra Schamroth; Lammers, Jayne C. – Teachers College Record, 2017
Background: Focusing on ways a common endeavor brings people together, Gee offered the concept of affinity spaces, which suggests that open participation without exclusion or membership is possible. This theory contrasts with Lave and Wenger's communities of practice, which called attention to situated, hierarchical participatory practices.…

Green, David A.; Loertscher, Jennifer; Minderhout, Vicky; Lewis, Jennifer E. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2017
The process of identifying threshold concepts invites experts to reflect on their discipline in a new way with the ultimate goal of improving learning and teaching. During a workshop to identify threshold concepts in biochemistry, we asked a group of natural scientists to explore "signification," a threshold concept from the humanities,…

Gotwals, Amelia Wenk; Wright, Tanya – Science and Children, 2017
There is always debate about when, where, and how to introduce students to vocabulary when teaching science. The authors argue that there is not necessarily a singular correct order or right time to introduce new vocabulary to students. Rather, what is important is that we support students in learning the language they need to engage in the…

Van Ness, Cheryl K. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Teacher recognition of student argumentation has been addressed by many researchers (e.g., Schwarz, 2009; Krummheuer, 1995; Bieda & Lepak, 2014; Whitenack & Yackel, 2002). Further, standards for mathematics learning emphasize the importance of including argumentation in the K-12 classroom (NCTM, 2000; CCSS, 2010). The study reported here…

Durrant, Philip – Applied Linguistics, 2014
This article examines the extent to which different groups of university students have shared vocabulary needs. Previous research in this area is limited in that it: (i) has focused on items from Coxhead's Academic Word List (2000), which is skewed towards certain disciplines, and focuses only on reading needs; (ii) has not investigated…

Gréhaigne, Jean-Francis; Godbout, Paul – Quest, 2014
This article examines the theory of dynamic systems and its use in the domains of the study and coaching of team sports. The two teams involved in a match are looked at as two interacting systems in movement, where opposition is paramount. A key element for the observation of game play is the notion of configuration of play and its ever-changing…

Snell, Joel – Education, 2014
Using a very complex statistical analysis and research method for the sake of enhancing the prestige of an article or making a new product or service legitimate needs to be monitored and questioned for accuracy. 1) The more complicated the statistical analysis, and research the fewer the number of learned readers can understand it. This adds a…

McDonnell, Lisa; Barker, Megan K.; Wieman, Carl – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2016
In this experiment, students in a large undergraduate biology course were first exposed to the concepts without new technical vocabulary ("jargon") in a pre-class reading assignment. Their learning of the concepts and jargon was compared with that of an equivalent group of students in another section of the same course, whose pre-class…

Albadi, Nouf Mohammed; O'Toole, John Mitchell; Harkins, Jean – Electronic Journal of Science Education, 2017
Reading research in K-12 English-speaking contexts reveals that inferential and expository texts cause substantial difficulty for students but less such research exists regarding other languages. It was the purpose of this quantitative cloze-based study to expose any relationship between student difficulty and particular features of the Arabic…
