Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Tolbert, Sara – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Te Kotahitanga is an educational reform project in Aotearoa/New Zealand demonstrated to have significantly impacted the participation, achievement, and retention of indigenous Maori students in secondary schools. In this paper, I share results from a study of culturally responsible mentoring at 4 different schools participating in the Te…

Martin, Sonya N.; Siry, Christina – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
In this paper, we employ cultural sociology and Braj Kachru's model of World Englishes as theoretical and analytical tools for considering English as a form of capital necessary for widely disseminating research findings from local networks of practice to the greater science education research community. We present a brief analysis of recent…

Fensham, Peter J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
The globalized nature of modern society has generated a number of pressures that impact internationally on countries' policies and practices of science education. Among these pressures are key issues of health and environment confronting global science, global economic control through multi-national capitalism, comparative and competitive…

Fensham, Peter J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
The PISA assessment instruments for students' scientific literacy in 2000, 2003, and 2006 have each consisted of units made up of a real world context involving Science and Technology, about which students are asked a number of cognitive and affective questions. This article discusses a number of issues from this use of S&T contexts in PISA…

Peer reviewedOsborne, Roger – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1978
Analyzes using path analysis models, student attainment of the objectives of a first year university physics course. Four aspects of physics attainment are identified: (1) theoretical; (2) applied; (3) experimental; and (4) attitudinal objectives. (HM)

Peer reviewedOsborne, Roger J.; Cosgrove, Mark M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Investigated students' (N=43) conceptions of what happens when water boils, evaporates, and condenses, and when ice melts. Results obtained from clinical interviews indicate that childrens' conceptions are quite different from those of scientists and that their ideas can sometimes be influences in unintended ways during instruction. Implications…

Spatial Reasoning as a Correlate of Formal Thought and Science Achievement for New Zealand Students.
Peer reviewedPiburn, Michael – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1980
Tested the hypothesis that spatial reasoning is a significant correlate both of formal thought, as defined by Piaget's measures of the proportionality schema, and of achievement in science. Sex differences in proportional reasoning and spatial skills in 6th-form (11- year-old) students from a New Zealand high school were also examined. (CS)
