Developing Practical Knowledge of the Next Generation Science Standards in Elementary Science Teacher EducationJournal of Science Teacher Education - - 2016
Deborah L. Hanuscin, Laura Zangori
Just as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSSs) call for change in what
students learn and how they are taught, teacher education programs must
reconsider courses and curriculum in order to prepare teacher candidates to
understand and implement new standards. In this study, we examine the
development of prospective elementary teachers’ practical knowledge of the NGSS
in the context of a scie... hiện toàn bộ

The focus of this study was elementary preservice teachers’ development as
effective teachers of science and mathematics as influenced by their
participation in elementary science and mathematics methods courses. Preservice
teachers’ reports of factors that influenced their perception of their teaching
abilities were analyzed according to Bandura’s (1994) 4 sources of efficacy:
mastery experiences... hiện toàn bộ

The period of time student teachers have to receive feedback from their
supervisors and cooperating teachers is relatively short. Techniques and ideas
suggested by university supervisors and cooperating teachers are clearly
beneficial to beginning teachers, but the students also need direct experience
in addressing classroom concerns themselves. Student teachers need to develop
techniques for eval... hiện toàn bộ
The Stories They’d Tell: Pre-Service Elementary Teachers Writing Stories to Demonstrate Physical Science ConceptsJournal of Science Teacher Education - Tập 21 - Trang 703-722 - 2010
Jennifer Kreps Frisch
Preservice teachers enrolled in a science content-based course wrote stories
that could help their future students understand a science concept. First,
participants chose their topic and wrote the story with few guidelines to
establish a baseline. In the next part, a different set of students were given a
choice of three topics (based on force, electricity, and heat misconceptions),
and collaborat... hiện toàn bộ
