Julia Koron; Sarah Gallant; Page Spiess – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In 1996, the Chemistry Department at Norwich University converted its two-semester General Chemistry course from a traditional lecture to a Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) classroom. The change to POGIL teaching in Norwich General Chemistry classes was brought about by a steady decline in student performance, as demonstrated by…

Carter, Ashley R. – Physics Teacher, 2021
Introductory lab courses have been a staple of the physics curriculum for over 100 years. Yet these courses are now poised for change as recent research shows that they do not meet a frequent goal of enhancing student understanding of lecture content. In thinking about how to move forward, a look back at experiment courses in history seems wise.…

Michael K. Seery; Hendra Y. Agustian; Frederik V. Christiansen; Bente Gammelgaard; Rie H. Malm – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Laboratory work in chemistry has been extensively researched in the last decade but the gap between research and practice is still broad. This "Perspective" shares 10 guiding principles relating to university laboratory education, drawing on research over the last decade. Written with an audience of practitioners in mind, the…

Christopher Lore; Hee-Sun Lee; Amy Pallant; Charles Connor; Jie Chao – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
As computational methods are widely used in science disciplines, integrating computational thinking (CT) into classroom materials can create authentic science learning experiences for students. In this study, we classroom-tested a CT-integrated geoscience curriculum module designed for secondary students. The module consisted of three inquiry…

Lundon Pinneo; Amy L. Benton – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
This study utilizes the meta-analysis method described by Timulak (Psychother Res 19(4-5):591-600, 2009) to create a more cohesive understanding of culturally responsive (CR) science teaching for in-service science teachers. Through the lens of Critical Race Theory, this study explores two questions: (1) What common themes emerge in studies…

Mohammad Reza Sarkar Arani; Yimin Gao; Linfeng Wang; Yoshiaki Shibata; Yanling Lin; Hiroyuki Kuno; Toshiya Chichibu – Prospects, 2024
This research is based on an approach that looks at cross-cultural research design as a "lens" for a deeper understanding of what goes on in the classroom. The research question is how a cross-cultural study like this one can lead to identifying the cultural script of teaching and help educators reflect on their practice. In this…

Jennifer Sweeney Tookes; Lissa M. Leege – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
As a "wicked problem," climate change requires interdisciplinary understanding and collaboration in order to prepare future leaders to develop solutions. To this end, as an ecologist and an anthropologist at a mid-sized university in the southeastern U.S., we designed a pair of interdisciplinary, research-intensive courses for first-year…

Büsra Arik Güngör; Oktay Bektas; Sibel Saraçoglu – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2024
This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale for determining the self-efficacy of teachers toward context-based science education. This study employed a survey design. The sample has formed 433 science teachers working in Kayseri province in the 2020-2021 spring semester. Firstly, an item pool of 85 items was developed by reviewing the…

Instructional Practices in Secondary Science: How Teachers Achieve Local and Standards-Based Success
Beth A. Covitt; Elizabeth Xeng de los Santos; Qinyun Lin; Christie Morrison Thomas; Charles W. Anderson – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
This article reports on analyses of the instructional practices of six middle- and high-school science teachers in the United States who participated in a research-practice partnership that aims to support reform science education goals at scale. All six teachers were well qualified, experienced, and locally successful--respected by students,…

Mustafa Hamalosmanoglu – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2024
This study focuses on exploring pre-service science teachers' conceptual integration understandings in explaining the subject of metabolism with the concepts of physics and chemistry. Action research was employed in this study. Nine pre-service science teachers taking the General Biology II course participated. Participants were taught metabolism…

Gülüzar Eymur; Pinar Seda Çetin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Promotion of students' scientific literacy has long been and continues to be a central goal for reform efforts in science education. Although there is a great number of research conducted to evaluate student's scientific literacy, less is known about how we can improve students' scientific literacy through variety of scientific practices. In this…

Jenny Byman; Kristiina Kumpulainen; Jenny Renlund – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
Based on an ethnographic study in a Finnish primary school, we explored lingering as both a pedagogical approach and a methodological concept for multispecies education research and practice. Through this conceptual thinking, we "re-turned" to the multiplicities that unfolded from noticing rhythms, enterings and different lifeworlds to…

Benjamin R. Lowell; Sarah E. Fogelman; Katherine L. McNeill – Science Education, 2024
Adopting new instructional materials is an important way to support reform in science education, but implementation can be challenging and complex. Therefore, we conducted a contrasting case study of two middle schools implementing new curricular materials. We conducted semi-structured interviews with teachers and leaders and collected…

Heather Weiss-Dembek – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that jobs within the life and physical sciences will grow by 8% between 2020 and 2030; therefore, it is imperative that students receive an engaging, rigorous, and comprehensive science education. Many urban and minority students have been denied this opportunity as evidenced by their poor performance on…

Tshewang Rabgay; Gillian Kidman – Educational Action Research, 2024
Action research has gained widespread recognition as a tool to improve teaching practices in many countries, and action research based on Kemmis and McTaggart's model was recently introduced in Bhutan to raise teaching quality. This study explored how Bhutanese secondary science teachers carried out the process of action research and the factors…
