Tan, Michael; Koh, Teck Seng – Science Education, 2023
In considering goals for science education, it is conventional to make arguments for the utility of scientific knowledge for a variety of purposes. Less prominent are rationales based on the beauty or truth of science. In this paper, we examine how an approach to science education might be different if we shift the goals of communication to an…

Oh, Phil Seok; Ha, Heesoo; Yoo, Yeon Joon – Science Education, 2022
This study aimed to explore what kinds of epistemological messages were conveyed through teacher discourse in modeling-based and traditional elementary science classrooms and how teachers framed the two classrooms distinctively through these messages. Data came from two sixth-grade teachers' science classrooms--one characterized as a…

Ying-Chih Chen; Michelle Jordan; Jongchan Park; Emily Starrett – Science Education, 2024
An essential aspect of scientific practice involves grappling with the generation of predictions, representations, interpretations, investigations, and communications related to scientific phenomena, all of which are inherently permeated with uncertainty. Transferring this practice from expert settings to the classroom is invaluable yet…

Tovar-Gálvez, Julio César – Science Education, 2023
Intercultural teaching practices for science education (ITPSE) are suitable to support science teachers in bringing cultural inclusion into their classrooms. The epistemological bridge is the base of the ITPSE design since this approach describes culturally inclusive teaching of science. There is an ITPSE of planning and one of enactment. With…

Cheuk, Tina; Morales-Doyle, Daniel – Science Education, 2022
This paper's focus is on the "middle" of partnerships for equity in science education. Middle is used in a temporal sense, meaning the time after the general purposes and terms of working together have been set and before outcomes have been achieved. The middle of the partnership also represents people interacting, bounded around the…

Ruppert, John; Bartlett, Paul W.; Infante, Masiel – Science Education, 2023
Engagement with socioscientific issues (SSI) has emerged as an important focus for science education. SSI have been successfully used to teach science concepts, but they also serve a role in helping learners develop a capacity to engage with science in everyday life. Here we present an epistemic framework for characterizing socioscientific…

Cappelle, Vanessa; Franco, Luiz Gustavo; Munford, Danusa – Science Education, 2023
In this study, we investigated the construction of science learning opportunities focusing on space-time relationships. Guided by ethnography in education, we followed the everyday life of a classroom over their three first years at elementary school. Based on macroanalysis, we examined discursive interactions in temporally distant events and how…

Perl-Nussbaum, David; Schwarz, Baruch B.; Yerushalmi, Edit – Science Education, 2023
Out-of-field teaching is a global educational challenge. In particular, many teachers whose academic background and main teaching experience is in biology are called to teach middle school physics and have limited opportunities for productive professional development. Based on previous studies, we expect these teachers to hold different epistemic…

Tang, Xiaowei; Levin, Daniel M.; Chumbley, Alexander K.; Elby, Andrew – Science Education, 2022
Science education researchers agree about the importance of evidence in science practices such as argumentation. Yet, disagreements and ambiguities about what counts as "evidence" in science classrooms pervade the literature. We argue that these ambiguities and disagreements can be viewed as falling along three fault lines: (i) the…

Baze, Christina; González-Howard, María; Sampson, Vic; Fenech, Mic; Crawford, Rich; Hutner, Todd; Chu, Lawrence; Hamilton, Xiaofen – Science Education, 2023
Recent trends have shifted the focus of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education onto practice-based learning, to encourage opportunities for students to engage in science and engineering practices (SEPs) with the goal of more meaningful participation and engagement in authentic STEM experiences for all students. However,…

Zhang, Jianwei; Tian, Yan; Yuan, Guangji; Tao, Dan – Science Education, 2022
As a hallmark of authentic science practices, students need to enact epistemic agency to shape/reshape the key aspects of their inquiry work as a collaborative community. This study elaborates an emergent temporal mechanism for engaging students' epistemic agency: "reflective structuration" by which members of a classroom community…

Allchin, Douglas; Zemplén, Gábor Á. – Science Education, 2020
Argumentation constitutes an important element in nature of science education. However, its virtues and scope can be overstated. Here, we survey in detail the place of argumentation in science education. Our benchmark is the range of epistemic processes relevant to citizens and consumers as they assess the reliability of scientific claims in…

Suh, Jee K.; Hand, Brian; Dursun, Jale E.; Lammert, Catherine; Fulmer, Gavin – Science Education, 2023
With an ultimate goal of characterizing teachers' movement toward understanding the epistemic complexity of generative learning environments, this study refers to adaptive teaching expertise (AdTex) as a developmental teaching capacity observable through a teacher's ability to utilize various resources to address the epistemic complexity of…

Shim, Soo-Yean; Thompson, Jessica – Science Education, 2022
Few studies have examined how professional learning communities (PLCs) engage in collaborative inquiry over multiple years. This longitudinal study explored how a team of high school science teachers collaborated with researchers and district-based coaches in a PLC over 4 years. We examined (1) how the PLC, which was situated in a culturally and…

Kervinen, Anttoni; Aivelo, Tuomas – Science Education, 2023
Uncertainty is endemic to scientific research practices; therefore, it is also an important element in learning about science. Studies have shown that experiences and management of uncertainty regarding the epistemic practices of science can support learning. Whereas the common strategies of supporting students in handling uncertainty rely on the…
