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 sci...... 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

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
