Zhai, Xiaoming; He, Peng; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Involving students in scientific modeling practice is one of the most effective approaches to achieving the next generation science education learning goals. Given the complexity and multirepresentational features of scientific models, scoring student-developed models is time- and cost-intensive, remaining one of the most challenging assessment…

Kaldaras, Leonora; Akaeze, Hope; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
The Framework for K-12 science education (The "Framework") and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize the usefulness of learning progressions in helping align curriculum, instruction, and assessment to organize the learning process. The "Framework" defines three dimensions of science as the basis of theoretical…

Kaldaras, Leonora; Akaeze, Hope; Krajcik, Joseph – Educational Assessment, 2021
Deep science understanding is reflected in students' ability to use content and skills when making sense of the world. Assessing deep understanding requires measuring complex constructs that combine elements of content and skills. To develop valid measures of complex constructs, we need to understand how their theoretical dimensionality, reflected…

Delen, Ibrahim; Krajcik, Joseph – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2018
In this study, we explored how a teacher used a new mobile application that enables students to collect data inside and outside the classroom, and then use the data to create scientific explanations by using claim-evidence-reasoning framework. Previous technologies designed to support scientific explanations focused on how these programs improve…

Zhai, Xiaoming; Krajcik, Joseph; Pellegrino, James W. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
This study provides a solid validity inferential network to guide the development, interpretation, and use of machine learning-based next-generation science assessments (NGSAs). Given that machine learning (ML) has been broadly implemented in the automatic scoring of constructed responses, essays, simulations, educational games, and…

Miller, Emily C.; Severance, Samuel; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
In "A Framework for K-12 Science Education," researchers call for teachers to make dramatic shifts in practice -- and sustain in these changes in practice -- so students can engage in rigorous and equitable three-dimensional science learning. Project-Based Learning (PBL) motivates students from diverse backgrounds to persist in learning.…

Charara, Jeanane; Miller, Emily Adah; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Leadership, Equity, and Research, 2021
Decades of research support integrating play in kindergarten to benefit young students' social, emotional, and cognitive development. As academic readiness becomes a focus, time for play has decreased. As a result, there has been a demand for integration of play with content. This study modifies a project-based science curriculum about how living…

Zhai, Xiaoming; Schneider, Barbara; Krajcik, Joseph – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Recruiting high-quality physics teachers for low-socioeconomic status (SES) schools is essential for ensuring equity but is challenging globally. China launched a four-year program to meet the challenge by providing free education and stipends and promising a career position to attract high-performance secondary graduates, while using a contract…

Kubsch, Marcus; Fortus, David; Neumann, Knut; Nordine, Jeffrey; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Students' motivation plays an important role in successful science learning. However, motivation is a complex construct. Theories of motivation suggests that students' motivation must be conceptualized as a motivational system with numerous components that interact in complex ways and influence metacognitive processes such as self-evaluation. This…

Miller, Emily C.; Reigh, Emily; Berland, Leema; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
Project-based learning (PBL) is a long-standing curricular model that has been argued to support equity-based goals in science learning. Yet, little is known about how PBL can be implemented effectively and equitably in the context of virtual instruction. This comparative case study follows two elementary science teachers as they transition to…

Kolonich, Angela; Richmond, Gail; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2018
In "A Framework for K-12 Science Education," the National Research Council frames inclusive science instruction as a collection of strategies for teachers to engage students. In this conceptual article, we reframe inclusive science instruction by examining the literature in science and multicultural education and describe five elements…

Bielik, Tom; Stephens, Lynn; McIntyre, Cynthia; Damelin, Daniel; Krajcik, Joseph S. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Developing and using models to make sense of phenomena or to design solutions to problems is a key science and engineering practice. Classroom use of technology-based tools can promote the development of students' modelling practice, systems thinking, and causal reasoning by providing opportunities to develop and use models to explore phenomena.…

He, Peng; Chen, I-Chien; Touitou, Israel; Bartz, Kayla; Schneider, Barbara; Krajcik, Joseph – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Student science proficiency development demands sustainable and coherent learning environment support. Scholars argue that project-based learning (PBL) is an efficient approach to promoting student science learning, compared to conventional instructions. Yet, few studies have delved into the learning process to explore how a coherent PBL system…

Sánchez Tapia, Ingrid; Krajcik, Joseph; Reiser, Brian – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
We propose a process of contextualization based on seven empirically derived contextualization principles, aiming to provide opportunities for Indigenous Mexican adolescents to learn science in a way that supports them in fulfilling their right to an education aligned with their own culture and values. The contextualization principles we…
