Hermansen, Tone K.; Ronfard, Samuel; Harris, Paul L.; Zambrana, Imac M. – Child Development, 2021
Children (N = 278, 34-71 months, 54% girls) were told which of two figurines turned on a music box and also observed empirical evidence either confirming or conflicting with that testimony. Children were then asked to sort novel figurines according to whether they could make the music box work or not. To see whether children would explore which…

Manz, Eve; Lehrer, Richard; Schauble, Leona – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
There is now a significant research literature devoted to reconceptualizing scientific activities, such as modeling, explanation, and argumentation, to realize a vision of science-as-practice in classrooms. As yet, however, not all scientific practices have received equal attention. "Planning and Carrying out Investigations" is one of…

Arnold, Pip; Franklin, Christine – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
The statistical problem-solving process is key to the statistics curriculum at the school level, post-secondary, and in statistical practice. The process has four main components: formulate questions, collect data, analyze data, and interpret results. The Pre-K-12 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) emphasizes…

Boon, Roel; Milne, Rebecca; Rosloot, Eveline; Heinsbroek, Joris – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Attaining an uninterrupted free report (FR) is at the heart of best practice investigative interviewing guidance. However, witnesses/victims do not naturally provide detailed accounts. Techniques have been developed to counter-act this, such as a report everything (RE) instruction. This research examined the relative effectiveness of "an…

Ali, Mohammed M.; Brubacher, Sonja P.; Earhart, Becky; Powell, Martine B.; Westera, Nina J. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
This study examined the effectiveness of ground rules--simple instructions outlining the communication expectations of an investigative interview--with 73 younger (age 18-40) and 57 older (age 60+) adults. Participants watched a film depicting an implied sexual assault and were interviewed after a brief delay. One third received no ground rules,…

Kent-Schneider, Isaiah; Kruse, Jerrid – Physics Teacher, 2020
Within physics education research (PER), inductive teaching strategies (e.g., inquiry-based teaching) have long been a goal. Yet others do not seem to be convinced that consensus exists with respect to the goals of physics education and identify three possible goals as: (1) to teach practical, factual knowledge, (2) to develop deep understandings…

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.…
