Using Popular Fiction to Inspire Scientific Inquiry
Cook, Kristin; Wheeler, Winn
Journal of College Science Teaching, v52 n5 p20-25 May-Jun 2023
Many teacher educator preparation programs do not provide opportunities for preservice teachers (PSTs) to experience and examine the use of popular fiction as a connection point to science teaching. This study explores a unit designed to support PSTs in learning and applying core concepts and processes of literacy and science by leveraging a popular fiction text in their literacy and science methods courses in a concerted effort to better prepare teachers to integrate literacy and science in their own future classrooms.
