Strat, Tonje Tomine Seland; Jegstad, Kirsti Marie – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has been a key element in science education for the past decade and should therefore be a key element of pre-service teacher (PST) education as well. This study aims to explore how IBSE is implemented in teacher education for primary and lower secondary levels (years 1-10) to prepare PSTs for their…

Bennion, Adam; Davis, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Preservice elementary teachers need to be able to engage young students in science practices but may not have extensive experiences with those practices. They also may have contrasting beliefs about them, which inform their teaching practice. To understand preservice teachers' beliefs related to science practices, we focus on the connections they…

Kang, Hosun; Nation, Jasmine McBeath – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
In this study, we present a conceptual tool for guiding teachers' principled pedagogical actions toward equitable instruction, referred to as the "Transforming Science Learning" (TSL) framework. The TSL framework was developed to address the challenges of enacting an ideological commitment in local contexts--promoting equity and justice…

Hanuscin, Deborah; Green, Spencer – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Despite growing interest in inclusive education, there has been little attention to the inclusion of students with disabilities in teacher education. Research by educators with disabilities about teachers with disabilities can provide vital information that may help improve support services for teachers with disabilities. As a teacher educator who…

Bernhard, Tess – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
While states are increasingly adopting and implementing the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as goalposts for student learning, there is less clear consensus around the science instruction needed in classrooms to realize this vision. In this study, I investigate the visions of expertise in science instruction that three science teacher…

Kite, Vance; Park, Soonhye – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Recognizing that the power of computation has changed the practice of science, science education standards in a number of countries have included a call for the inclusion of computational thinking (CT) in K-12 science education. As CT is a relatively new construct, preparing inservice science teachers to implement CT-infused learning experiences…

Pecore, John L.; Nagle, Corey; Welty, Tadlee; Kim, Minkyoung; Demetrikopoulos, Melissa – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Effective questioning and discussion are fundamental instructional skills for science teacher candidates to master. These skills are important for teacher competence that aids student achievement. Opportunities to practice these skills in traditional teacher preparation programs may be limited. This embedded single case study focused on an…

Christenson, Nina; Walan, Susanne – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Research has revealed that teachers find teaching and assessing socioscientific argumentation (SSA) to be challenging. In this study, ten pre-service science teachers (PSTs) tested a new Practical Assessment of Socioscientific Argumentation Model (PASM) that was developed to enhance skills in assessing SSA. The models' design is based on the…

Saribas, Deniz – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
It is necessary to foster teachers' ability to design and implement instructions that encourage students to construct evidence and engage in argumentative discourse. The argument of this paper is that the continuous reflection and discussion as well as regular practice on instructional designs will promote pre-service science teachers' (PSSTs')…

Stylos, Georgios; Kamtsios, Spiridon; Kotsis, Konstantinos T. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
International research shows that primary school teachers don't have the necessary level of self-efficacy to provide high quality science learning and teaching opportunities to their students. The aim of the present study is to validate the Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI-B) and to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs of 408…

Swanson, Kylie J.; Painter, Jason L.; Blanchard, Margaret R.; Gervase, Kimberly D. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Science Olympiad is a K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competition that engages approximately 7,000 teams across the U.S. in individual and team challenges at regional, state, and national levels. Science Olympiad began expanding to include elementary students in 2008. Yet, little is known about the adults who…

Riley, Alexis D.; Mensah, Felicia Moore – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
This qualitative case study examines the experiences of three Black female science teachers who experienced and participated in the triumphs and failings of today's charter school system while teaching Black and Brown students. Using Critical Race Theory and Culturally Relevant Pedagogy as frameworks, the findings of the study revealed that the…

Christina Krist; Nessrine Machaka; Dan Voss; Nitasha Mathayas; Susan Kelly; Soo-Yean Shim – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Calls to immerse students in the sensemaking practices of science recommend that students propose ideas and work together to construct explanations as well as drive the evaluation and decision-making around classroom knowledge-building. In other words, they should be participating with epistemic agency. Part of the teaching work of supporting…

Anastasia Buma; Eunice Nyamupangedengu – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
The teaching of genetics has not been effective in promoting a scientifically acceptable understanding of basic genetics concepts. This study addresses that gap by reporting on topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) enacted by a teacher educator as she teaches a content course on basic genetics concepts to fourth-year pre-service…

William R. Penuel; Anna-Ruth Allen; Clarissa Deverel-Rico; Corinne Singleton; Carol Pazera – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
A key goal of science learning today is to support students in posing and answering questions about phenomena that matter to them while establishing a need to grapple with disciplinary ideas and practices reflected in standards. To be successful in this endeavor, teachers need to learn to partner with students on the direction of their learning…
