Katrina Prendergast; Mihye Won; David Treagust – Teaching Science, 2023
In this paper, we discuss what creativity may look like in the science classroom and what we learnt from teaching with student-generated diagrams to promote creativity in Year 7 Science lessons. As a result of this study, most students were able to communicate a deeper understanding of complex phenomena and were able to apply this knowledge both…

Whannell, Robert; Quinn, Fran; Taylor, Subhashni; Harris, Katherine; Cornish, Scott; Sharma, Manjula – Teaching Science, 2018
Australian science curricula have promoted the use of investigations that allow secondary students to engage deeply with the methods of scientific inquiry, through student-directed, open-ended investigations over an extended duration. This study presents the analysis of data relating to the frequency of completion and attitudes towards long…

Nash, Mary; Cox, Peter; Prain, Vaughan – Teaching Science, 2018
Creative reasoning and problem-solving are crucial to how scientists work and how students learn in school science. However, developing guided inquiry that develops these capabilities within a prescriptive curriculum has proven difficult. In this paper, we report on a study of a teaching sequence that aimed to develop these capabilities through…

King, Donna; Ginns, Ian – Teaching Science, 2015
Engaging middle school students in science continues to be a challenge in Australian schools. One initiative that has been tried in the senior years but is a more recent development in the middle years is the context-based approach. In this ethnographic study, we researched the teaching and learning transactions that occurred in one ninth grade…
