Morote, Álvaro-Francisco; Olcina, Jorge; Hernández, María – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2023
The main natural risk in the Mediterranean region is flooding. Therefore, in Spain, explaining this issue in Primary Education classrooms of Social Sciences should be a priority and is established as such in the current curriculum. The aims of this study are to carry out an analysis of the contents on flood risk included in the Social Science…

Mills, Reece; Whiteford, Chrystal; Brown, Daniel; Tomas, Louisa – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
There is a need for robust, empirically-validated conceptualisations of teachers' attitudes towards teaching science, with a view to understand how these might explain their intention to teach science. The "Dimensions of Attitudes Toward Science" (DAS) theoretical framework suggests that cognitive, affective and perceived control…

Županec, Vera; Lazarevic, Tihomir; Sekulic, Vanja; Pribicevic, Tijana – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2023
Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is an approach that synthesizes the curricular objectives and methods of two or more disciplines or subjects focusing on a specific topic or issue. While it is being increasingly implemented in universities, at lower levels of education there are still countries where science subjects are taught and learned…

Kirk, Melinda; Tytler, Russell; White, Peta – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2023
Although education research in critical thinking is a rapidly emerging field, how teachers can facilitate, monitor, and support critical thinking in primary science remains a challenge. This paper builds on recent semiotics mediated scientific reasoning research to present a fresh perspective of critical thinking in primary science. Analysis of…

Nurdan Akgun; Seyda Gul – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2024
This study aims to develop a test to measure sixth grade students' success in 'Circulatory System'. For this purpose, a draft test containing 22 questions was prepared by the researchers. And then, the draft test was submitted to expert opinion and examined in terms of language and content. Following expert opinions, the 22 multiple-choice…

Fadhlan Muchlas Abrori; Zsolt Lavicza; Branko Andic – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2024
This paper explores the use of comics as an integrated tool for introducing socioscientific issues (SSI) in elementary school classrooms. To illustrate this, we provide implementation examples from two teachers who facilitated introducing SSI to students using comics. These case studies depict how teachers integrated comics into their classroom…

Daryl Greenfield; Betty Zan; Christine McWayne; Michael Harris; Alexandra Alexander; Wendy Ochoa; Jayanthi Mistry – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Worldwide, there is growing recognition of the importance of science in early childhood education. Doing science or, more formally, "science and engineering practices," is acknowledged as a critical component of early science education that requires support from the adults in children's lives. Moreover, engaging in science practices…

Sara Teymoori Pabandi; Rasol Abdullah Mirzaie; Milad Atabakhsh; Arezo Asfa – Gifted and Talented International, 2024
Emphasizing the identification of individuals with exceptional abilities in understanding school science is of great importance. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate students' cognitive abilities to identify those with special talents in primary school science. The statistical population of the study included all male and female…

Preston, Christine M.; Hubber, Peter J.; Xu, Lihua – Research in Science Education, 2022
Primary school topics involving abstract concepts are challenging to teach. Electric circuits can be simply constructed but complex to explain. New approaches in teaching students for understanding are needed to advance practice in primary science. This paper combines the strengths of multimodality research perspectives with variation theory to…

Burke, Paul F.; Palmer, Tracey-Ann; Pressick-Kilborn, Kimberley – Research in Science Education, 2022
This study examined the preferences for professional development (PD) in primary (elementary) science among pre-service teachers (PSTs) and in-service teachers (ISTs). The contribution of the study is its focus on quantifying the relative importance of factors that were significant for teachers by using best-worst scaling methodology. Rather than…

Earle, Sarah; Bianchi, Lynne – Professional Development in Education, 2022
Frameworks for professional learning offer models of progression that analyse and describe changes in learner behaviours and practices. This paper argues that frameworks for teacher professional learning offer theoretical models that can enhance teachers' agency in their own development. Teachers' use of two primary science frameworks are…

Ruggiero, Matteo Luca; Mattiello, Sara; Leone, Matteo – Physics Education, 2021
Why is modern physics still today, more than 100 years after its birth, the privilege of an elite of scientists and unknown for the great majority of citizens? The answer is simple, since modern physics is in general not present in the standard physics curricula, except for some general outlines, in the final years of some secondary schools. But,…

Church, David – Primary Science, 2021
As the conversation across the country progresses towards diversity and decolonisation of the curriculum, it is important to consider the many ways of demonstrating recognition of diversity. At Harris Garrard Academy in southeast London, educators have gone to great lengths to increase the visibility of race and ethnicity in the curriculum,…
