Marco-Bujosa, Lisa M.; Friedman, Audrey A.; Kramer, Allison – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how science teachers who persisted in urban schools interpreted and responded to the unique features of urban educational contexts. With 17 alumni who taught in metropolitan areas across seven states, the Science Educators for Urban Schools (SEUS) program provided a research setting that…

Brown, Julie C.; Crippen, Kent J. – School Science and Mathematics, 2016
This study represents a first iteration in the design process of the Growing Awareness Inventory (GAIn), a structured observation protocol for building the awareness of preservice teachers (PSTs) for resources in mathematics and science classrooms that can be used for culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP). The GAIn is designed to develop awareness…

Burton, Erin Peters; Burton, Stephen – School Science and Mathematics, 2016
Professional scientists who pursue a teaching credential bring a great deal of background to students in a classroom, but they may have barriers to the ways they portray the field of science. This study used a multiple-case replication design to determine the role of epistemology in lesson plans of seven scientists becoming teachers. Data sources…

Barnes, Caitlin; Angle, Julie; Montgomery, Diane – School Science and Mathematics, 2015
Creating scientifically literate students is a common goal among educational stakeholders. An understanding of nature of science is an important component of scientific literacy in K-12 science education. Q methodology was used to investigate the opinions of preservice and in-service teachers on how they intend to teach or currently teach science.…

McCollough, Cherie; Ramirez, Olga – School Science and Mathematics, 2012
Preservice teachers (PSTs) participated in Family Science Learning Events (FSLEs) at a university designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution. PSTs were required by the instructor to conceive and design culturally relevant science activities as well as implement these activities with K-8 students and their families during three separate FSLEs…

Eberle, Francis – School Science and Mathematics, 2008
This article is about an investigation of six middle school science teachers' beliefs and instructional practice about the coherence of the science they teach as articulated by National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996). Many well intentioned reform efforts focus on improving content knowledge of teachers, but many classroom teachers…

Harty, Harold; Enochs, Larry G. – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The literature on problems of inservice teacher education in general, and science inservice teacher education in particular, is synthesized, problems identified, and suggestions generated from the findings. These may also be generalized to mathematics teachers. (MNS)

Voltmer, Rita K.; James, Robert K. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
The goal was to gain information concerning the appropriateness of each of 70 selected laboratory teaching competencies for inclusion in science teacher education programs and the extent to which students had developed such competencies. Approximately 85 percent of the competency items were viewed as appropriate for beginning science teachers. (MP)

Sallam, Sallam S.; Krockover, Gerald H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
A 32-week program to improve earth science in-service preparation was instituted at Purdue University during 1978-1979. Results indicate that positive attitudes toward science and instruction were achieved. It is felt that programs can be successful in fostering positive attitudes and creativity only if they are 16 to 32 weeks long. (MP)

Rubba, Peter A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
Data from 79 physics teachers are analyzed to determine: (1) what were the inservice needs identified by at least 65 percent of this group; and (2) if physics teachers' inservice needs differ from science teachers in general. The top 13 needs appeared consistent with recent efforts to make physics more humanistic. (MP)

Gabel, Dorothy; Rubba, Peter – School Science and Mathematics, 1980
This study compared the attitudes toward science teaching and proficiency in the science process skills of elementary education majors enrolled in a physics course v a science methods course. Science process skills appear to be more effectively taught in the physics course. (Author/MK)

Fraser-Abder, Pamela – School Science and Mathematics, 1989
Describes a workshop model administered for 10 days over a period of 7 weeks. The workshop was used to develop an elementary science curriculum in Trinidad and Tobago. The effect of the model on teacher attitudes toward science and science teaching was evaluated. (YP)
