Conley, AnneMarie M.; Pintrich, Paul R.; Vekiri, Ioanna; Harrison, Delena – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2004
Epistemological beliefs, or beliefs about the nature of knowledge and knowing, are currently a target of increased research interest. The present study examined two research questions: (1) how do epistemological beliefs change over time? and (2) what role do gender, ethnicity, SES, and achievement play in their development? The study was…

Hakkarainen, Kai – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
The problem addressed in the study was whether 10- and 11-year-old children, collaborating within a computer-supported classroom, could engage in progressive inquiry that exhibits an essential principal feature of mature scientific inquiry: namely, engagement in increasingly deep levels of explanation. Technical infrastructure for the study was…

Young, Betty J.; Lee, Sharon K. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2005
The science achievement of 226 5th graders from districts that have a kit-based inquiry science curriculum supported by intensive professional development (PD) is compared with data from a group of 173 5th graders from other districts that use nonkit science materials and do not have systematic science PD for teachers. Within the kit-based…

Heller, Joan I.; Daehler, Kirsten R.; Shinohara, Mayumi – Journal of Staff Development, 2003
An evaluation mosaic brings together different methods and forms to present an overall picture of the impact this professional learning experience had on teachers' practices and on student achievement. Using this framework, professional developers were able to determine whether they were getting the results they wanted--and they did.
