Ariely, Moriah; Livnat, Zohar; Yarden, Anat – Science & Education, 2019
Learning the unique linguistic forms and structures that construct and communicate scientific principles, knowledge, and beliefs is important for developing students' disciplinary literacy. The use of scientific language is apparent in the texts that scientists produce to communicate their findings to other scientists--the research articles. Texts…

von der Mühlen, Sarah; Richter, Tobias; Schmid, Sebastian; Schmidt, Elisabeth Marie; Berthold, Kirsten – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
Multiple text comprehension can greatly benefit from paying attention to sources and from using this information for evaluating text information. Previous research based on texts from the domain of history suggests that source-related strategies are acquired as part of the discipline expertise as opposed to the spontaneous use of these strategies…

Lesley, Mellinee – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2014
Through a content analysis of 200 "tweets," this study was an exploration into the distinct features of text posted to NASA's "Twitter" site and the potential for these posts to serve as more engaging scientific text than traditional textbooks for adolescents. Results of the content analysis indicated the tweets and linked…

Jones, Claire G. – History of Education, 2017
In the years around 1900, more women were benefiting from a university education and using it as a pathway to acquiring research expertise and contributing to the development of scientific knowledge. Although numbers were small compared with men, it is clear that the idea of a female researcher was no longer an oddity. As illustrated by…

Wilson, Rachel; Bradbury, Leslie – Science and Children, 2019
To become scientifically literate, students need to interpret science concepts using numbers, text, and visuals (Lemke 2004). Scientists use multiple modes to communicate their ideas to each other and the public, including images, text, mathematical notations, symbols, diagrams, charts, and graphs. Several of the science and engineering practices…

Ihrmark, Daniel; Tyrkkö, Jukka – Education for Information, 2023
The combination of the quantitative turn in linguistics and the emergence of text analytics has created a demand for new methodological skills among linguists and data scientists. This paper introduces KNIME as a low-code programming platform for linguists interested in learning text analytic methods, while highlighting the considerations…

D'Alessandro, John; Sorenson, Tim; Homoelle, Bradley; Hodun, Tony – Science Teacher, 2014
Reading is critical for scientific thinking. It is a foundation for many of the skills in which scientists and engineers must be proficient, such as conducting research, developing informed conjectures, and engaging in reasoned argument (NRC 2012). Yet, students frequently find science reading difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating. Strategies…

Clark, Sarah K.; Lott, Kimberly; Larese-Casanova, Mark; Taggart, Anne Marie; Judd, Emma – Research in Science Education, 2021
The purpose of the study was to examine how integrated science and disciplinary literacy instruction influenced the quality of science informational text produced by first-grade students and student perceptions these young children held about scientists. The disciplinary literacy instruction took place over the course of 8 weeks (three 20-30-min…

Reading and Writing as Scientists? Text Genres and Literacy Practices in Girls' Middle-Grade Science
Faller, S. Elisabeth – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2018
Science teachers are often charged with providing discipline-specific literacy instruction. However, little is known about the reading and writing genres, or text types, typically found in these classrooms. In particular, there is a lack of knowledge about what opportunities adolescents have to engage with the genres privileged in science to learn…

Sherard, Max K.; Azevedo, Flávio S. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2023
We present a novel method for the critical analysis of professional scientists' communications with the public. The method blends Entman's (2007) [Framing bias: Media in the distribution of power. "Journal of Communication," 57(1), 163-173)] framing theory and van Leeuwen's (1996) [The representation of social actors. In C. R.…

Greenleaf, Cynthia; Hinchman, Kathleen A.; Brown, Willard – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2023
Students need support to learn Next Generation Science practices that include use of such texts as investigative records and datasets, analyses and arguments, and works of other scientists. This article describes secondary school science teachers' curation and support of students' multimodal text use during their development of a library of…

Luo, N. A.; Hyland, Ken – Applied Linguistics, 2021
Writing for international publication is a daunting prospect for all scholars but is particularly difficult for those off-network academics writing in an additional language. With little institutional support, they may solicit help from colleagues and other text mediators who do not share authorship. In this article, we investigate the experiences…

Carroll, Sarah; Grenon, Muriel – Irish Educational Studies, 2021
Scientists are ideally placed to inform, inspire and empower others in science, and thus contribute towards the formation of a scientifically informed society. Despite the increasing emphasis on scientists engaging in Public Engagement in Science, there is not enough structured spaces for scientists to practice. Social-distancing policies incurred…
