Examining Pre-Service Elementary Educators' Perceptions of Teaching Science When Integrated with Poetry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Love, Tyler S.; Napoli, Mary; Lee, Doris – School Science and Mathematics, 2023
Research has revealed that a small percentage of weekly instructional time in the elementary grades is dedicated to teaching science. Additionally, elementary educators receive limited preparation to teach science concepts compared to math or literacy skills. Therefore, this study examined if utilizing poetry to teach science concepts had a…
