Wilmes, Sara E. D.; Siry, Christina – Research in Science Education, 2021
Science teaching and learning are discursive practices, yet analysis of these practices has frequently been grounded in theorizations that place language at the forefront of interaction and meaning-making. Such language-centric analytic approaches risk overlooking key embodied, enacted aspects of students' engagement in science practices. This…

Monteira, Sabela F.; Jiménez-Aleixandre, María Pilar; Siry, Christina – Research in Science Education, 2022
We report a longitudinal study carried out along 3 years in an early childhood education (ECE) classroom in which we examined children's (aged 3-6) engagement with science representations. The research questions are as follows: (1) How do children's science representations develop from ECE1 to ECE3? (2) What are the features and affordances of the…

Young Students' Diverse Resources for Meaning Making in Science: Learning from Multilingual Contexts
Siry, Christina; Gorges, Anna – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This manuscript elaborates the value of looking beyond the written and spoken word in science education research and practice at the early childhood level. We examine one plurilingual child's descriptions of a science activity to explore the "diversity of resources" that she used while expressing her understandings of a sound…

Siry, Christina; Wilmes, Sara E. D. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2020
In this response paper, we reflect upon the contributions of Gallard Martínez, Pitts, Brkich, and Ramos de Robles (this issue) in their manuscript "How does one recognize contextual mitigating factors (CMFs) as a basis to understand and arrive at better approaches to research designs" (EJ1257238) and elaborate the ways in which we work…

Siry, Christina; Kremer, Isabelle – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
This study examines young children's ideas about natural science phenomena and explores possibilities in starting investigations in kindergarten from their ideas. Given the possibilities inherent in how young children make sense of their experiences, we believe it is critical to take children's perspectives into consideration when designing any…
