David Slavit; Amy Roth McDuffie; Nicole Griggs; Dan Goldhaber; Roddy Theobald – School Science and Mathematics, 2024
This qualitative study examines the information collected about applicants to mathematics or science teacher preparation programs (MSTPPs) and how university faculty perceive and value this information in admissions decisions. Based on document review and interviews with MSTPP faculty and admissions directors, we found that broad measures of…

T. Viking; U. Hylin – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2024
Constructive controversies, where team members discuss their different opinions openly and politely, can stimulate interprofessional learning (IPL): the learning that occurs in the interactions between two or more different professions. However, in science-based controversies where members compete to be the expert learning becomes complicated.…

Wonyong Park; Alison Cullinane; Haira Gandolfi; Sahar Alameh; Günkut Mesci – Research in Science Education, 2024
There has been sustained research interest in the role of early career researchers in advancing the field and the challenges that they face. However, efforts to document lived experiences of researchers working in a specific research area within science education have been scarce. This paper considers the meaning of innovation in the context of…

Ola Nordqvist; Anders Jidesjö – Science & Education, 2024
There is a substantial literature in science education research showing that many students experience a lack of relevance in science education. For this reason, science teachers' selection of content and the way content is treated when exposed to students for learning purposes is an important part of the problem. In this connection, research show…

Balinado, Lloyd O.; Dapula, Karl John C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The novelty of the COVID-19 disease has paved the way to numerous scientific studies that aim to further understand its biology, and to different strategies that disseminate this information to promote public awareness. One of the strategies that the academe can employ is the inclusion of COVID-19 as a topic in a basic biotechnology course. This…

Hoath, Leigh; Dave, Heena – School Science Review, 2022
This article responds to the DfE sustainability and climate change education draft strategy that was introduced in November 2021 during COP26. It outlines the approach of one working group to considering what meaningful implementation of such a strategy means for teachers and learners in schools. The authors suggest a number of areas that should…

Benjamin C. Herman; Sarah Poor; Michael P. Clough; Asha Rao; Aaron Kidd; Daniel De Jesús; Davis Varghese – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Informed scientific thinking is a vital component of engaging all socioscientific issues (SSI) such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, socioscientific engagement may be influenced by sociocultural factors and mis/disinformation efforts to the widespread detriment of human and environmental well-being. The purpose of this…

Elizabeth Mavhunga; Bongani Prince Ndlovu – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This paper addresses the important question of the nature of the subject matter (content knowledge) that should be a base for a science teacher education curriculum. We present our argument in two parts. Firstly, we report an argument conceptualising the nature of content knowledge for science teaching that we called TerSCK. This is followed by a…

Milanovic, Vesna D.; Trivic, Dragica D.; Tomasevic, Biljana I. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: In the previous decades many research papers and educational documents have emphasized the importance of the application of history of science in the science education of students. Consequently, chemistry teachers are expected to be familiar with the historical development of science and capable of incorporating historical contents in…

Lee, Star W.; Tran, Stacy – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
To better prepare undergraduate students as informed citizens, they need skills to evaluate and interpret scientific data that are relevant to real world scenarios. Socioscientific issues are typically complicated or debatable issues that require individuals to evaluate their background knowledge and make decisions with respect to social and…

Timothy G. Klavon; Svetha Mohan; Joshua B. Jaffe; Thalia Stogianos; Donna Governor; Doug Lombardi – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Socially relevant geoscience topics may be difficult for students to learn. For example, connecting hydraulic fracturing to Midwestern US earthquake swarms and using the fossil record to infer past Earth environments may challenge students because of their prior exposures to nonscientific explanations. Sociocognitive theoretical perspectives based…

Courtney D. Glenn; Oluwatobi O. Odeleye – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
A large number of students across the globe each year enroll in general chemistry courses as an academic requirement to obtain their degree. Although many take chemistry courses, it is not a subject sought out by many as a potential career. In some instances, chemistry hinders students from achieving their career goals. A plethora of chemical…

Reynolds, Amberly; Goodwin, Michael; O'Loughlin, Valerie Dean – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
There is a widely variable breadth of coverage of skeletal muscle content across both undergraduate human anatomy and undergraduate anatomy and physiology (A&P) courses. In response to the need for a more global understanding of the content taught in undergraduate anatomy courses, we developed an online survey (administered through Qualtrics)…

Lynne Zummo – Science & Education, 2024
With the continued unfolding of major climatic shifts, questions continue to emerge about how to approach climate change in the science classroom, at least in the USA where it is often perceived as socio-politically controversial. Broadly, research in science education has shown that the learning process around climate change is highly complex and…

Goldwater, Micah B.; Hilton, Courtney; Davis, Tyler H. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
There is a disconnect between neuroscience research on concept learning and representation (focusing on categories of concrete objects), and concept learning challenges in science education (which concern systems of causal relationships among objects and events). Bridging this gap will both inform theories of science learning and expand our…
