Do College Science Courses Help Preservice Elementary Teachers Learn the Science They Need to Teach?
Peer reviewed
Direct linkRyan S. Nixon; Alexandra Dorine Swain – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Teacher preparation programs often rely on college science courses to help preservice elementary teachers learn science subject matter. However, the impact of these courses has not been sufficiently explored. In this study we explore the relationships between new elementary teachers' science subject matter knowledge and their college science…

Steele, David; Jeong, Sophia – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Science content, teaching, and teacher preparation are all political acts. However, accepting the political nature of science as well as that of science teaching has proven to be a hard shift for many in the science community. In this paper, we suggest a shift away from an apolitical teaching of science toward a system of practices that transforms…

Frisch, Jennifer Kreps – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2010
Preservice teachers enrolled in a science content-based course wrote stories that could help their future students understand a science concept. First, participants chose their topic and wrote the story with few guidelines to establish a baseline. In the next part, a different set of students were given a choice of three topics (based on force,…

Szyjka, Sebastian; Mumba, Frackson; Wise, Kevin C. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which six cognitive and attitudinal variables predicted pre-service elementary teachers' (N = 87) performance on line graphing. Predictors included reading comprehension and mathematics scores, logical thinking performance scores, as well as measures of attitudes toward science, mathematics…

Kilic, Gulsen Bagci; Cakan, Mehtap – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2007
In this study, peer assessment was applied in assessing elementary science teaching skills. Preservice teachers taught a science topic as a team to their peers in an elementary science methods course. The peers participating in the science lesson assessed teacher-groups' elementary science teaching skills on an assessment form provided by the…
