Tytler, Russell; Mulligan, Joanne; Prain, Vaughan; White, Peta; Xu, Lihua; Kirk, Melinda; Nielsen, Christopher; Speldewinde, Christopher – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Against a backdrop of advocacy for interdisciplinary STEM curricula, this paper explores the design principles underpinning a three-year longitudinal research project that develops and evaluates interdisciplinary mathematics and science learning sequences involving multiple teachers and student cohorts across the primary school years. The research…

Prain, Vaughan; Tytler, Russell – International Journal of Science Education, 2012
Compared with research on the role of student engagement with expert representations in learning science, investigation of the use and theoretical justification of student-generated representations to learn science is less common. In this paper, we present a framework that aims to integrate three perspectives to explain how and why…

Tytler, Russell; Prain, Vaughan – International Journal of Science Education, 2010
Recent accounts by cognitive scientists of factors affecting cognition imply the need to reconsider current dominant conceptual theories about science learning. These new accounts emphasize the role of context, embodied practices, and narrative-based representation rather than learners' cognitive constructs. In this paper we analyse data from a…

Tytler, Russell – International Journal of Science Education, 2000
Describes a study of a range of challenging activities centered on evaporation and condensation done with elementary school children. Analyzes children's explanations in light of the existing literature. Finds that older children display a surer sense of ontological categories, greater epistemological sophistication, greater precision in language…
