Recent reforms in science education call for efforts to engage students in authentic and sustained science practices. In order to engage students in authentic science practices, students need to enact epistemic agency over the processes of inquiry in line with how knowledge is constructed and practiced in the real world. A critical research…

Emden, Markus; Gerwig, Mario; Jänichen, Michael; Wildhirt, Susanne – School Science Review, 2021
Martin Wagenschein's ideas of prioritising phenomena in making sense of science processes have influenced the German "Lehrkunstdidaktik" (art of teaching) approach. This article sketches a "Lehrkunstdidaktik" teaching unit inspired by Michael Faraday's "Chemical History of a Candle." It shows how primary and lower…

Grapin, Scott; Haas, Alison; Goggins, Marcelle; Llosa, Lorena; Lee, Okhee – Science and Children, 2019
The "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS") call for a high level of classroom discourse (Lee, Quinn, and Valdés 2013). To engage all students, including English learners (ELs), in this form of discourse, educators have turned to talk moves (e.g., "Say more about that"), defined as general-purpose tools for…

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…

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…
