Inoue, Atsushi; Tanaka, Ryuichi – Education Economics, 2023
We examine whether and how teachers' major fields in college affect students' achievement, exploiting within-student variation across subfields in natural science (i.e. physics, chemistry, biology, and Earth science). Using middle-school students' data from the TIMSS and controlling for student-teacher fixed effects, we find that teachers improve…

Wan, Dongsheng; Lee, Yew-Jin – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Canonical coherence occurs when subject matter in school is organized to align with the logical structures of an academic discipline. Even though it is highly desired, this condition is an assumption that must be empirically tested, which was the rationale behind our examination of the coherence of topics from middle-school (grades 7-9) integrated…

Georgiou, Helen – Research in Science Education, 2023
There has been a strong narrative in Australia of falling attainment in high school science, with much of the campaign informed by results from international standardised tests such as Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which shows a year-on-year decline in scientific literacy of Australian 15-year-old students. These results…

Tang, AiBin; Li, WenYe; Liu, Dawei – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Teachers' professional development (PD) is considered to be a topic of interest in science education. This study examines the impact of professional development in science pedagogy (PD in PED) on students' achievement and how it influences teachers' instruction based on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science (TIMSS) 2019. The sample…

Kahraman, Nurcan; Tas, Yasemin; Yerdelen, Sündüs – Excellence in Education Journal, 2022
Big-Fish-Little-Pond-Effect (BFLPE) suggests that students form their own self-concept by comparing their abilities to those of their peers. This study aims to examine how students' gender, socioeconomic status, science achievement, and engagement dimensions (motivational and behavioral engagement) predict students' self-concept in science by…
