Johal, Kulvinder Kaur – Primary Science, 2021
The lack of diversity in some areas very much ties in with the data on school staff promotions and moving into senior positions. The United Kingdom government's schools workforce data shows black and Asian people are underrepresented in the teaching workforce. According to recent figures covering state schools in England: Just 4.7% of teachers in…

Rogers, Ben – Primary Science, 2021
There is a tradition in primary classes of using rich authentic activities to teach science. The idea of pupils learning science through experiment and discovery is appealing. But this is not how children are taught in other subjects. When children learn to read, there are tiny steps, mastering each one before moving onto more challenging books.…

Alexander Kmet'; Anna Drozdi´kova´; Son?a Nagyova´; Peter Ikhardt – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Over the past few decades, the photographic process has slowly vanished from chemistry education in most schools. It happened due to vast changes in both technology and legislation. It is, however, helpful in demonstrating several concepts in natural sciences, bringing a bit of art into the subjects, and giving students an opportunity to express…

Nataša Erceg; Anna Alajbeg – Science Education International, 2024
An experimental science curriculum for primary school was introduced in Croatia for the 1st time in the 2023/24 school year. This is taking place against the backdrop of a shortage of teachers from various science subjects, especially physics. They are increasingly being replaced by non-professional teachers, often those with a Master of Primary…

Anisha Gupta; Dan Carpenter; Wookhee Min; Jonathan Rowe; Roger Azevedo; James Lester – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2024
Reflection plays a critical role in learning. Game-based learning environments have significant potential to elicit and support student reflection by prompting learners to think critically about their own learning processes and performance. Stealth assessment models, used for unobtrusively assessing student competencies from evidence of game…

Zohreh Ghasemzadeh Namaghi – Journal of Educational Research, 2024
This article explores the integration of the art studio framework developed by Harvard University's Project Zero into science education and investigates its influence on the academic achievements of third-grade students. This study involved a cohort of 140 third-grade students from a primary school in Iran, 70 of whom were students assigned to an…

Emily Starrett – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Uncertainties are inherent in education as learners encounter gaps in their awareness of topics, receive new information that potentially conflicts with prior understandings, and grapple with known unknowns in order to construct new knowledge. While researchers have shown that students productively struggling with problematized and uncertain…

Courtney Devera; Cassidy Fine; Kerri L. Shelton; Rajeev B. Dabke – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Many simple chemical reactions produce an audible fizz due to the formation of gases, such as oxygen, hydrogen, or carbon dioxide. A hands-on activity based on perceiving these audible chemical changes is presented. The relative quality of fizz due to the formation of gases in a chemical reaction was determined by visually impaired middle and high…

Eley, Alison – Primary Science, 2022
There is broad agreement in the literature (e.g. Furtak et al., 2012; Harlen and Qualter, 2018) that the purpose of primary science is for children to develop: (1) scientific skills; (2) knowledge and understanding of some scientific concepts; (3) positive attitudes to science; an understanding of the nature of science; and (4) an appreciation of…

Kara, Serpil; Kingir, Sevgi – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This study aimed to determine the effect of the model-based science writing heuristic (M-SWH) approach on students' conceptual understanding and construction of model-based argumentations in elementary school science. Participants (N = 107) were students enrolled in 4 fourth-grade classes of a public elementary school. Two classes were assigned as…

Malucelli, Federico; Fantinati, Matteo – Education 3-13, 2022
In the early years of school, pupils have a very positive approach towards any new topic. Very often, the first contact with mathematics in the Italian school risks giving a limited and somehow negative impression, generating long-lasting effects. In this paper, we report on a series of experiences carried out in a second-year class of a primary…
