Lan, Shu-Wen; de Oliveira, Luciana C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
Recent science-education reforms have targeted students' ability to 'talk science', especially in science classrooms. Prior research has shown that participation in scientific discourse in class is one of the most challenging scientific-literacy tasks, and particularly complex for English language learners (ELLs) at the upper elementary level. The…

Snodgrass Rangel, Virginia; Bell, Elizabeth; Monroy, Carlos – Education and Urban Society, 2019
Accountability policies assume that educators will use student data to improve student learning, but data use in practice has turned out to be harder than theorized. The purpose of this article was to examine how science teachers in Grades 5 to 8 used data in their classrooms. Utilizing sensemaking theory, we found that teachers decided how to use…

Özdemir, Oguzhan; Hastürk, Gamze – Science Education International, 2021
This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the levels of prospective preschool teachers' self-efficacy beliefs in science education and learning styles. In this study, the correlational survey model was used. The sample of the research was composed of 193 (165 females and 28 males) prospective pre-school teachers studying in…

Olson, Joanne K. – Science & Education, 2018
Understanding the nature of science (NOS) has long been a desired outcome of science education, despite ongoing disagreements about the content, structure, and focus of NOS expectations. Addressing the concern that teachers likely focus only on student learning expectations appearing in standards documents, this study examines the current state of…

Fernández Fernández, María del Mar; Jiménez Tejada, María Pilar – Journal of Biological Education, 2019
The cell is a key concept, and accurate knowledge of it is essential for understanding many phenomena and biological processes, as well as the overall functioning of living beings. However, learning about this concept is not simple. Regarding this concept, we examined the views concerning problems that could be encountered by Master's students…

Garcia Romano, Leticia; Occelli, Maricel; Adúriz-Bravo, Agustín – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This article focuses on the integration of argumentation and digital technologies in science teacher education. We present theoretical reflections, results of empirical research, and description of innovative experiences with pre- and in-service biology teachers. Regarding argumentation, we analyse what defending a claim in science entails for…

Like, Christopher; Morgan, Jeffrey; Escalada, Lawrence; Burns, Les – Physics Teacher, 2019
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) require teachers to think very carefully about the structure of lessons, which content must be taught to allow students to achieve NGSS expectations, and how content is delivered. With the standards' focus on three-dimensional learning and the use of relevant phenomena, most teachers are urged to make…

Subramaniam, Karthigeyan – Educational Research, 2022
Background: As prospective teachers traverse the early stages of their careers, their first experiences of teaching (both in-course and in-classroom), and the transitions between them, need to support the growth of their professional learning. In the context of STEM education, more needs to be understood about pre-service teachers' lived…

Minaz, Muhammet Baki; Akin, Mehmet Ali – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2019
This study seeks to evaluate teacher trainees' career expectations in terms of gender, age, parental living status, place of birth and marital status. A mixed model was used in the study. The population of the study is comprised of students of the Siirt University Faculty of Education, while the sample for the quantitative research and qualitative…

Carola Garrecht; Anneke Steegh; Dustin Schiering – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
In the past, students' participation in science competitions has been positively associated with their aspirations to pursue a career in science. Previous studies, however, were predominantly focused around successful competitors, overlooking the largest group of participants: those who are faced with early elimination. We therefore aimed to…

Wanda Sass; Sven De Maeyer; Jelle Boeve-de Pauw; Peter Van Petegem – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Science education is increasingly integrating a focus on socio-scientific issues. Policy makers and scholars also suggest education for sustainable development (ESD) is important for tackling current and future sustainability issues. ESD may foster students' action competence in sustainable development (ACiSD; knowledgeability, willingness,…

Haas, Alison; Januszyk, Rita; Grapin, Scott E.; Goggins, Marcelle; Llosa, Lorena; Lee, Okhee – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
The adoption of "A Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) across the U.S. requires that the field of science education develops high-quality instructional materials. This need is particularly urgent as schools and districts are expected to design or adapt instructional materials for an…
