Magnusson, Joakim; Kullberg, Angelika; Innabi, Hanan; Knutsson, Lena; Von Otter, Ann-Marie; Landström, Jan – Educational Action Research, 2023
In this study, a learning study was used to enhance prospective teachers' learning about how to teach a specific topic in mathematics or natural science to 4th-6th graders. It has been argued that participating in learning study can direct prospective teachers (PTs) towards the object of learning, and what needs to be enacted in teaching to make…

Cheng, Maurice M. W.; Danielsson, Kristina; Lin, Angel M. Y. – Learning: Research and Practice, 2020
This paper examines the roles of multimodality and thematic patterns in the teaching of the particle model of matter. Although the particle model is a fundamental topic in science education, there is no consensus on (1) whether or not the model should be introduced in early grades and (2) how to introduce the model to students for the very first…

Pettersson, Alma Jahic; Rundgren, Carl-Johan; Tibell, Lena A. E. – Designs for Learning, 2022
Previous research suggests that everyday expressions are commonly used in students' descriptions of nutrient uptake. This study investigate a classroom context in year 5 with a focus on signs of scientific meaning-making about nutrient uptake with an animation as a resource in two different schools. In one of the schools there was also a teacher…

Wennersten, Lena; Wanselin, Hanna; Wikman, Susanne; Lindahl, Mats – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
UNESCO has identified education for sustainable development (ESD) as a key factor in the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Education is important in developing awareness of how to preserve natural ecosystems and promote the uptake of renewable energy sources. Ecology education in primary school aims to give students a scientific…

Lidar, Malena; Lundqvist, Eva; Ryder, Jim; Östman, Leif – Research in Science Education, 2020
In Sweden, a new curriculum and new methods of assessment (grading of students and national tests) in science education were introduced in grade 6 in 2012/2013. We have investigated what implications these reforms have for teachers' teaching and assessment practices in order to explore the question of how teachers transform their teaching habits…

Fridberg, Marie; Jonsson, Agneta; Redfors, Andreas; Thulin, Susanne – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
This paper describes analysis of teaching instances that are part of an in-service preschool teachers programme about chemistry and physics in preschool. The aim is to develop knowledge about the communication established between teacher and children in relation to an object of learning, specifically the role of intersubjective communication in…

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Ninni Wahlström; Catarina Schmidt – Educational Research, 2024
Background: Within classroom research, there has long been agreement on the importance of dialogue and discussion for student learning. However, how the concept of knowledge influences classroom conversation needs further investigation, as this has key implications for students' active participation. Purpose: Our research sought to conceptualise…

Sparf, Maria – Designs for Learning, 2021
Within a theoretical framework grounded in design for learning, this article presents a research project about pupils' engagement during programming education. In a design-theoretical perspective, everyone who is somehow engaged in a learning process is a designer. The results show that how pupils design their learning when programming is related…

Alvunger, Daniel – Curriculum Journal, 2021
This paper explores the knowledge conceptions in teachers' curriculum making within a classroom perspective through a lens of social realist theory. Curriculum making is conceptualised as a process that occurs between students, teachers, knowledge content and contextual factors, in which teachers must balance various priorities and knowledge…
