The main purpose of this study is to determine what teachers and academicians think about the process of designing and implementing science activities in informal settings and make suggestions as to how to teach more effectively in them. This study is a cross-sectional survey study and divided the teachers constituting the sample group into…

Direct linkJamie K. Opper – Teaching of Psychology, 2025
Introduction: As higher education continues to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), cognitive/behavioral neuroscience and other physiologically based psychology courses may face challenges incorporating DEI issues into the curriculum relative to other subfields of psychology. Statement of the Problem: Instructors of these courses may…

Dries – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We present as a case study the evolution of a series of participant-centered workshops designed to meet a need in the life sciences education community--the incorporation of best practices in the assessment of student learning. Initially, the ICABL (Inclusive Community for the Assessment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology/BMB Learning) project…

Aygün Kiliç – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2024
This study examined pre-service science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) about seasons. The framework of this study was based on the Refined Consensus Model (RCM), and pre-service teachers' topic-specific PCK was also discussed in two dimensions: personal PCK (pPCK) and enacted PCK (ePCK), which are included in this model. The pPCK of…

Jorge Martín-García; María Eugenia Dies Álvarez – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
This study analysed secondary school teachers' self-reported learning during their participation in a long-term, non-formal scientific activity in the form of a crystal-growing contest. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore in-service teachers' experiences and describe the different types of learning that they report they have…

Eleanor R. Anderson; Jennifer Richards – Science Education, 2025
In this paper, we build on a growing body of research on practical measurement for educational improvement, contributing a conceptualization of the organizational functions of measurement in processes of persistence and change. Our work is grounded in theoretical understandings of micro-institutional change that foreground processes of…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] Research on nontraditional laboratory (lab) activities in physics shows that students often expect to verify predetermined results, as takes place in traditional lab activities. This understanding of what is taking place, or…

Leslie Y. Garrido – ProQuest LLC, 2024
As the adoption rate of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) continues to rise in the United States, there is an increasing need for the development of high-quality instructional materials that reflect NGSS and effectively prepare teachers for its implementation. The NGSS aim to foster an understanding of three interconnected dimensions in…

Kenneth Silseth; Anniken Furberg – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Previous studies have shown both benefits and challenges of group work and whole-class activities in educational settings. One overall finding in the existing literature is that it is challenging for teachers to facilitate whole-class conversations that realise the rich potential of student discussions and undertakings during group work. This…

Wouter Spaan; Ron Oostdam; Jaap Schuitema; Monique Pijls – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Practical work in school science has been ineffective due to students not connecting hands-on to minds-on aspects. With the designation Thinking-Back-and-Forth (TBF)we present a framework with a taxonomy of TBF activities. Purpose: Aim was to gain insight how teachers stimulate and support their students in TBF. Detailed information…

White Shame and White Ambivalence in Learning to Be a Well-Started White Anti-Racist Science Teacher
Jonathan McCausland; Scott McDonald – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
This is a study intended to address white supremacy in science education. To accomplish this, we describe how one White intern, Boaz, learned to teach science in anti-racist ways. By detailing how whiteness mattered in his learning to teach, we demonstrate that whiteness is potentially constant in White peoples' learning to teach science in…

Lu Shi; Ying Wang; Jherian K. Mitchell-Jones; Marilyne Stains – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Assessment plays a critical role in instruction and curriculum. Existing literature on instructors' assessment practices and related factors has been intensively focused on primary and secondary education. This study extended the contexts of previous literature to post-secondary chemistry education by exploring general chemistry instructors'…

Jessica Watkins; Natalie A. De Lucca; Serena R. Pao – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Preservice secondary science teachers often experience science learning in narrow and marginalizing ways in their science preparation. These experiences cause harm, particularly for preservice teachers of color. They also limit the disciplinary resources they can develop for later teaching science in ways that value and sustain their students'…

Sokha Khut – European Journal of STEM Education, 2024
This study aimed to develop an instrument with acceptable validity and reliability for assessing two key aspects among science teachers: their self-efficacy in teaching science through an integrated STEM approach (STSIS) and their outcome expectancy when employing this approach (OETSIS), which we refer to as TSTSIS. We administered this tool to…
