In light of extensive research demonstrating widespread misconceptions about electricity, this paper describes a learning study that targeted the most likely source of difficulty--failure of middle school pupils to develop a mental model that serves as a bridge between static and current electricity. During the intervention, pupils first envision…

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…

Pavešic, Barbara Japelj, Ed.; Koršnáková, Paulína, Ed.; Meinck, Sabine, Ed. – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2022
This open access book brings together national experts from across the Dinaric region to rigorously review IEA's Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 grade four data to develop a multidimensional and culturally sensitive perspective on their TIMSS 2019 primary-level results. The Dinaric region, named after the Dinaric…

Gierhart, Aaron R.; VanValkenburgh, Jessica – Teacher Educators' Journal, 2023
This case study was completed in Fall 2021 with elementary and middle grades pre-service teaching candidates. The goal of the study was to engage candidates in storytelling and reflection of their science identity. Science identity is important as science discourse is historically not diverse. Candidates completed a narrative podcasting assignment…

Rotermund, Susan; Burke, Amy – National Science Foundation, 2021
Elementary and secondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is the foundation for students' entry into postsecondary STEM majors as well as a wide variety of STEM occupations. Proficiency in STEM fields is vital to economic growth and international competitiveness and important for all citizens in an increasingly…

Steinmann, Isa; Strello, Andrés; Strietholt, Rolf – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2023
We investigated effects of tracking students into higher, more academic, and lower, less academic, school types immediately after primary school (early tracking) instead of having a comprehensive secondary school system (late tracking) on school gender segregation and gender gaps in achievement outcomes. We assumed that, in early tracking…

Tyner, Adam; Kabourek, Sarah – Social Education, 2021
Improving the reading ability of young students could hardly be a more urgent priority for our elementary schools. Two thirds of American fourth and eighth graders are not able to read proficiently--and the outcomes are far worse for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The National Assessment of Educational Progress in 2019 showed that only…

Morton, Benterah C.; McCorrison, Sarah K.; Parrish, Christopher W.; Byrd, Kelly O.; Ferguson, Susan N.; Green, André M. – Teacher Educators' Journal, 2023
This article explores critical studies in education by examining avenues through which teacher education programs problematize racial mismatch in K-12 classrooms. More specifically, the article describes the efforts of a regional teacher education program to support its pre-service teachers by providing opportunities to engage with racially…

Caspi, Avner; Gorsky, Paul; Nitzani-Hendel, Rakefet; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Rosenfeld, Sherman; Berman, Shmuel; Shildhouse, Bruria – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Toward the end of 6th grade, some bright and highly motivated science-oriented Israeli students and their parents are required to make a decision: whether or not to enrol in a non-mandatory advanced science programme for 7th graders ([almost equal to] 12 year olds) upon entering middle-school. In other words, for many students, entry into the STEM…

Merritt, Joi; Lee, Mi Yeon; Rillero, Peter; Kinach, Barbara M. – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2017
This systematic literature review was conducted to explore the effectiveness of problem-based and project-based learning (PBL) implemented with students in early elementary to grade 8 (ages 3-14) in mathematics and science classrooms. Nine studies met the following inclusion criteria: (a) focus on PBL, (b) experimental study, (c) kindergarten to…
