María Esther Téllez-Acosta; Andres Acher; Scott P. McDonald – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Learning to plan modeling-based investigations (MBIs) presents significant challenges for pre-service elementary teachers. Although they understand disciplinary core ideas and modeling practices, they address both as competing learning goals and, as novices, they have not experienced how to structure MBIs for their future students. In the context…

Karoline Smucker; Francisco Sepúlveda; Travis Weiland; Susan Cannon; Stephanie Casey; Sunghwan Byun – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Statistics has been a content domain in the mathematics curriculum for decades. However, statistics is a distinct discipline from mathematics and there are important differences in how one should teach the two disciplines. In this article, the authors consider how these differences can inform an adaptation to the 5 Practices for Orchestrating…

Cullinane, Alison; Hillier, Judith; Childs, Ann; Erduran, Sibel – Research in Science Education, 2023
This article utilizes a framework for classifying different scientific methods suggested by a philosopher of science (Brandon "Synthese," 99, 59-73, 1994) called Brandon's Matrix. It presents findings from teachers who took part in a funded project in England that looked at the nature of scientific methods in science investigations.…

Chaonan Liu; Dayna L. Dreger; Shiyao Liu; Ala Samarapungavan; Stephanie M. Gardner; Kari L. Clase; Nancy Pelaez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Recent emphasis on learning biology through scientific investigations has focused instruction on understanding and using scientific evidence. To unpack the complexities of evidentiary reasoning, here we present a novel laboratory investigation for teaching the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) in an introductory biology laboratory course that was…

Arabacioglu, Sertaç – International Journal of Technology in Education and Science, 2022
In scientific practices, students are frequently asked to conduct investigations to produce data that will serve as the basis for evidence that meets the goals of an investigation. But however, assisting in the formulation and implementation of students' investigations is often a difficult task for many teachers because authentic investigations…

McCarty, Timothy Wyman – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
This article offers two novel tools for teaching political science methodology and research design. The first is a comprehensive framework for helping students conceptualize a research project in political science. The second is a reformulation of the dominant conceptualization of process-tracing tests. Building on Collier's use of Sherlock Holmes…

McCullagh, John – School Science Review, 2018
This sixth-form chemistry activity describes how students can use acid-base titrimetry to investigate how adding salt to the aqueous phase may change the value of the partition coefficient of an organic acid between water and 2-methylpropan-1-ol. While the presence of lithium chloride and sodium chloride increases the value of the partition…

Susac, Ana; Planinic, Maja; Bubic, Andreja; Jelicic, Katarina; Ivanjek, Lana; Cvenic, Karolina Matejak; Palmovic, Marijan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Recognition of interference and diffraction patterns is a difficult task for both high-school and university students. Many students fail to observe important features of particular patterns and identify the differences among similar patterns. In this study, we investigated if performing students' investigative experiments can help high-school…

Jones, Verity – Primary Science, 2018
In many schools following the National Curriculum for England the teaching of science has been overshadowed by the demands of literacy and numeracy, with the focus on statutory testing (SATs) and emphasis on national targets. This has often led to increasing concerns around teachers' subject knowledge, the sapping of teacher confidence and…

Bellocchi, Alberto; Davis, James; Mills, Reece; Arthars, Natasha; Appanna, Subhashni – Teaching Science, 2022
Science curriculum and pedagogy offer ideal avenues for teaching young people the critical thinking skills they need to live in a post-truth world. Drawing on the theory of epistemic cognition, we present a selection of research-based pedagogies that have been shown to be effective in developing school students' understanding of knowledge and how…

Linfield, Rachel – Primary Science, 2018
Rachel Linfield describes a favorite annual school visit to Wimpole Hall where her year 4 and 5 students (ages 8-10) took part in a living history project. Each summer, dressed as servants from the Georgian era, students would spend the day as apprentice housemaids and butlers. Although the trips to Wimpole Hall were invaluable for developing a…

McGough, Julie V.; Nyberg, Lisa M. – NSTA Press, 2017
Children want to explore, dig, build, play, and wonder. To do this they need to touch, feel, see, observe, listen, manipulate, plan, and create. How does a teacher build and maintain a learning environment that will help students investigate meaningful questions? How does a teacher plan and manage ongoing investigations? How does a teacher use…
