Professional development in science education aims to support teacher learning with the ultimate goal of improving student achievement. A multitude factors influence change and effectiveness professional development. This review literature explores these identifies school district leaders as a critical factor missing from current models. School play significant role planning implementation development, well providing ongoing leadership change. Considering this role, are not just contextual...
AbstractDynamic visualisations capture aspects of scientific phenomena that are difficult to communicate in static materials and benefit from well-designed scaffolds succeed classrooms. We review research clarify the impacts dynamic identify instructional mediate their success. use meta-analysis synthesise 47 independent comparisons between 76 test effect specific scaffolds. These studies show better than visuals at promoting conceptual inferences about science, consistent with success...
Recent efforts in engineering education focus on introducing into secondary math and science courses to improve science, technology, engineering, (STEM) (NAS, 2010). Infusing classrooms can increase awareness of interest STEM careers, help students see the relevance their everyday lives, literacy. This paper describes how knowledge integration framework provides research-based guidelines develop connect concepts. Results from technology enhanced curriculum units demonstrate instruction based...
Abstract Special education teachers provide critical science instruction to students. However, little research investigates special teacher beliefs and practices around in general or the nature of inquiry particular. This investigation is a cross‐case analysis four elementary teachers' initial semester‐long professional development experiences learning about attempting implement instruction. Participants were purposively selected from larger study 61 pre‐K–5 one mid‐Atlantic urban school...
ABSTRACT Elementary science education, particularly in the 4th and 5th grades, is essential for setting foundation lifelong learning, fostering critical thinking, preparing students success science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) fields. This stage especially with disabilities, as achievement gaps between them their peers emerge during elementary school. Despite this importance, little known about how taught classrooms these years, disabilities. To address gap, we surveyed...

Abstract Contemporary science education frameworks identify computational thinking as an essential and engineering practice that supports scientific sense‐making design. Despite national emphasis on teaching science, engineering, (NGSS Lead States, 2013), little research has investigated the ways elementary teachers support students to engage in practices (SEPs) within integrated curricula. This study explores how provide verbal of SEPs upper during a 4‐week NGSS‐aligned curricular unit...
Creating investigations that allow students to see physics in their everyday world and be kinesthetically active outside of the traditional classroom can incredibly engaging effective. The we developed were inquiry which engaged concrete experiences before discussed abstract concepts derived mathematical relationships.1 In this article, describe approach used an explanation kinesthetic general. We then provide a description several some examples how responded them.
Undergraduate science courses typically rely on teaching assistants (TAs) to teach introductory laboratory classes. However little research investigates how support TAs implement reform-based in undergraduate settings, and particular, what factors may influence TAs’ motivation within instructional contexts. This qualitative study used an Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT) framework of explore: (1) expectancy beliefs subjective values project-based inquiry contexts; (2) relationships among value...
This multiple case study focused on the implementation of a computer-aided design (CAD) simulation to help students engage in engineering learn science concepts. Our findings describe three studies that adopted same learning and adapted it different populations, settings, classroom contexts: at middle-school, high-school, pre-service teaching levels. Although orchestration particular was customised for specific audiences contexts, from this suggest core components design, such as content,...
