Kathrin Otrel-Cass – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: In science education asynchronous online interactions have increased dramatically during the recent pandemic and some of these practices will stay. One of the characteristics in asynchronous exchanges is the spacing and sequencing of online interaction. It means that dialogue partners do not necessarily receive immediate feedback as is…

Jrène Rahm – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: A move beyond static and representational accounts of science learning and becoming through relations is needed. Purpose: In this paper extra-learning activities in science offered by a community organization to an elementary class over one academic school year are assessed in light of their contributions to science learning and…

Maria Varelas; Amanda R. Diaz; Rebecca Kotler; Rebecca Woodard; Ronan Rock; Zachary Sabitt; Nathan Phillips; Rachelle Tsachor; Marcie Gutierrez; Hannah Natividad; Derek Threewitt; Jaegen Ellison – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
We explored the semiotic choices children in grades 1-6 made that nurtured embodied, dramatizing performances in science classes at urban public schools, serving predominantly students of color in a large US city. We studied how such choices in school and home settings (when instruction was remote during the COVID-19 pandemic) were implicated in…

Kok-Sing Tang – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: With a growing new materialism paradigm and research on multimodality, there is an increasing attention on the role of material objects in science teaching and learning. However, there is currently no available framework, coding scheme, or method of inquiry to specifically analyze the use of material objects in science meaning-making.…

Joseph Paul Ferguson; Lihua Xu; Russell Tytler – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: In learning astronomy, students need to shift between 3D and 2D representations involving complex interactions between the body and material environment. Little attention has been paid to the iconic nature of this astronomical diagramming. Purpose: This research explored the value for students of diagramming to reveal the structural…

Josephine Convertini; Francesco Arcidiacono; Céline Miserez-Caperos – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: In the field of science education, adults often set up practical-based activities with the idea of stimulating children's reasoning and approaching science in a playful way. Although the potential role of objects in stimulating social practices has been considered in the literature, how teachers work on semiotic aspects of…

Maria Impedovo; Anne-Marie Cederqvist – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: There is a growing interest in the complexity of socio-materiality-making activities in educational and everyday settings. Indeed, maker-centered learning is considered as a socio-materially embodied process in which artifacts and social and emotional dimensions are interconnected. The making process is also found in everyday life when…

Eduardo Fleury Mortimer; Renata Reis Pereira – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Science teaching and learning, as discursive practices, occur through the utilization of various semiotic modes. Gestures play a pivotal role as an embodied mode that acts in conjunction with speech in oral communication settings, such as classrooms. Previous research on gestures in chemistry and science education has illuminated how…

Sara E. D. Wilmes; Christina Siry – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Children's interactions are inherently multimodal. Accordingly, when children engage in science in classroom communities, their interactions are grounded in material and embodied aspects of interactions with teachers and their peers. Purpose: This study explores the nature of children's science interactions in a classroom community…

David Morrison-Love; Fiona Patrick – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Student teachers can find it difficult to inform their classroom practice with knowledge gained from education theory and research. Working with Design and Technology teacher education students, the authors have developed a model to support integration of knowledge-based thinking in lesson design for classroom practice. Purpose: This…

Hsin-Yi Chang; Theerapong Binali; Yen-Jung Chang – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background and Purpose: Metavisualization plays a key role in science and technological learning in which visualization is practiced. We conducted two sequential studies with the purposes to first develop an instrument that allows individuals to report or reflect on their metavisualization, and then validate the instrument and investigate the…

Bekir Yildirim – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: This study investigated how an online professional development program (OPDPs) affected preschool teachers' STEM teaching competence, what technological tools and materials they used during STEM education after the program, and what they thought about OPDPs. Purpose: This study aimed to focus on all dimensions of the effects of OPDPs…

Mengyao Li – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
The relationship between family science capital and students' science career intentions has been widely discussed since the ASPIRES project initially proposed this linkage. Since science capital is more likely to be clustered in some social groups, the linkage between family science capital and their children's science aspirations may exacerbate…

Luecha Ladachart; Visit Radchanet; Wilawan Phothong; Ladapa Ladachart – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Integrating science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) education has become an emphasis in many countries' K-12 curricula. Design-based learning is an instructional approach that allows students to learn STEAM in more integrated ways than the traditional method. Using design thinking as a pedagogical framework, design-based…
