Direct linkGerde, Hope K.; Pierce, Steven J.; Lee, Kyungsook; Van Egeren, Laurie A. – Early Education and Development, 2018
Research Findings: Quality early science education is important for addressing the low science achievement, compared to international peers, of elementary students in the United States. Teachers' beliefs about their skills in a content area, that is, their content self-efficacy is important because it has implications for teaching practice and…

Chasteen, Stephanie V.; Wilcox, Bethany; Caballero, Marcos D.; Perkins, Katherine K.; Pollock, Steven J.; Wieman, Carl E. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
In response to the need for a scalable, institutionally supported model of educational change, the Science Education Initiative (SEI) was created as an experiment in transforming course materials and faculty practices at two institutions--University of Colorado Boulder (CU) and University of British Columbia. We find that this departmentally…

Smith, Adrienne A.; Banilower, Eric R.; Nelson, Michele M.; Smith, P. Sean – Horizon Research, Inc., 2013
New K-12 science education standards emphasize teaching and learning grounded in authentic scientific practices. A first step toward supporting teachers' adoption of scientific practice-based pedagogies is to develop a clear picture of how teachers are currently teaching science, and what factors predict their pedagogical choices. A recently…

Trygstad, Peggy J.; Smith, P. Sean; Banilower, Eric R.; Nelson, Michele M. – Horizon Research, Inc., 2013
The forthcoming Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) aim to reshape K-12 science education, but making the vision a reality will require changes throughout the education system. What teachers ultimately do in the classroom depends on a host of factors, including state and district policies, school structures and supports, preservice…

Peer reviewedDenyer, Gill – Primary Science Review, 1998
Presents the results of a survey of teachers on the use of games in science teaching. Teachers were more likely to use games in mathematics or language arts than in science. Findings indicate that if science games were more widely available, less expensive, and relevant to the National Curriculum, teachers would be more likely to use them as a…
