Anastasia Malong Buma; Doras Sibanda; Marissa Rollnick – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
The intervention programmes have a direct influence on teachers' knowledge of teaching different topics. This paper focuses on how Grade 8 natural science teachers' knowledge developed during an intervention programme. Eight schools were selected to participate, and 25 Grade 8 Natural Sciences teachers from Gauteng province participated. Data were…

Jianlan Wang; Yuanhua Wang; Yanhong Moore; Stacey Sneed; Beth Thacker; Stephanie Hart – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Questioning is a critical instructional strategy for teachers to support students' knowledge construction in inquiry-oriented science teaching. Existing literature has delineated the characteristics and functions of effective questioning strategies. However, attention has been primarily cast on the format of questioning like open-ended questions…

Edy Hafizan Mohd Shahali; Lilia Halim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Teachers' teaching practices are influenced by various factors, including the teacher's personal (e.g. beliefs, efficacy and attitudes) and school context (e.g. administrative and collegial support). However, the previous model did not consider the interactions between these factors simultaneously in effecting the teaching practices. Thus, an…

Mumba, Frackson; Rutt, Alexis; Chabalengula, Vivien Mweene – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The current US science education reforms call for integrating engineering design in science instruction requires teachers to develop and teach engineering design-integrated science (EDIS) lessons. However, very few teachers have received training in engineering and how to integrate engineering design into science lessons. In response to this…

Maass, Katja; Sorge, Stefan; Romero-Ariza, Marta; Hesse, Alice; Straser, Oliver – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The world is facing severe global challenges such as climate change, food security, rising migration, social justice, or the current corona crisis. In these times, citizenship education seems more important than ever. How can this citizenship education relate to mathematics and science learning? The research project MaSDiV (Supporting mathematics…

Capobianco, Brenda M.; Radloff, Jeffrey; Clingerman, Jenna – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The role of engineering in science and mathematics education continues to emerge as a contributing factor to improving STEM education. Efforts across different countries include the integration of engineering in K-12 curriculum, after school programs, and inservice teacher professional development. Only recently have science teacher educators…

Metin Peten, Duygu – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The present study investigated if the argument-driven inquiry (ADI) model with embedded explicit-reflective teaching of NOSI improved pre-service science teachers' (PSTs) comprehension of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI). The study employed the qualitative experiment method with 16 PSTs. The PSTs working in small groups conducted seven ADI…

Sebatana, Motlhale Judicial; Dudu, Washington Takawira – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In this qualitative study, the researchers explored the ways in which 21st-century skills (specifically communication and critical thinking) are enhanced by Grade 10 beginner Physical Sciences teachers while teaching Particulate Nature of Matter (PNM) through the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL). The study was conducted in one of the…

Rahayu, Sri; Treagust, David F.; Chandrasegaran, A. L. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
High school students learn the basic voltaic and electrolytic cell concepts during their last year prior to entering an undergraduate teacher-education science degree. During the 4 years of university, students complete a sequence of topics designed to build on conceptual understanding presented in previous years. At the end of their degrees,…

Levy, Smadar; Bagno, Esther; Berger, Hana; Eylon, Bat-Sheva – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This study presents 3 case studies that examine the processes involved in the professional growth of physics teacher-leaders (TLs) in a national network of professional learning communities (PLCs). This program has been operating since 2012, using a "Fan Model" where the TLs participate in a PLC (TL-PLC) led by a team from the Weizmann…

Seah, Lay Hoon; Chan, Kennedy Kam Ho – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
Learning science encompasses learning the language of science, which can pose considerable challenges to students due to its specialized features and structures. Addressing the three-language problem (the need to transition between daily, general school and disciplinary languages) and the specific language demands of science thus constitutes part…

García-Carmona, Antonio – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This article presents a study focused on analysing the effectiveness of an activity about the use of analogies in science communication. The activity consisted of reading two science articles published in a prestigious digital newspaper about the first image of a black hole. The purpose was (i) to identify and analyse the analogies used in the…

Zowada, Christian; Belova, Nadja; Eilks, Ingo – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
Chemistry, with its related technical applications, is of crucial importance for creating a sustainable future. Without chemistry, current challenges will be difficult to solve. Such problems include meeting most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) announced by the United Nations and adherence to planetary limits, for example, novel…

Fang, Su-Chi – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
Inquiry-based science instruction has been advocated for decades. However, the implementation of inquiry teaching and learning in everyday classrooms is rather limited due to various factors. Previous research investigated implementations of inquiry-based teaching at the activity level with self-reported methods. However, little is known about how…

Johnston, Jennifer; Walshe, Gráinne; Ríordáin, Máire Ní – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
STEM integration has often been recommended as a way to support students to develop twenty-first century skills needed to function in the complex modern world. In order for students to experience integration, however, their teachers need support in designing, developing and implementing integrated curricular instruction, which is often at odds…
