The laboratory in science education: Foundations for the twenty‐first centuryScience Education - Tập 88 Số 1 - Trang 28-54 - 2004
Avi Hofstein, Vincent N. Lunetta
AbstractThe laboratory has been given a central and distinctive role in science
education, and science educators have suggested that rich benefits in learning
accrue from using laboratory activities. Twenty years have been elapsed since we
published a frequently cited, critical review of the research on the school
science laboratory (Hofstein & Lunetta, Rev. Educ. Res. 52(2), 201–217, 1982).

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between
students' conceptions of the nature of science and their reactions to evidence
that challenged their beliefs about socioscientific issues. This study involved
41 pairs of students representing “critical cases” of contrasting ethical
viewpoints. These 82 students were identified from a larger sample of 248
students from ... hiện toàn bộ
Primary teachers' attitudes toward science: A new theoretical frameworkScience Education - Tập 96 Số 1 - Trang 158-182 - 2012

AbstractAttention to the attitudes of preservice and inservice primary teachers
toward science is of fundamental importance to research on primary science
education. However, progress in this field of research has been slow due to the
poor definition and conceptualization of the construct of primary teachers'
attitude toward science. This poor theoretical background has led to the use of
a multitu... hiện toàn bộ
An Integrative Framework for the Analysis of Multiple and Multimodal Representations for Meaning‐Making in Science EducationScience Education - Tập 98 Số 2 - Trang 305-326 - 2014
Kok‐Sing Tang, César Delgado, Elizabeth Birr Moje
ABSTRACTThis paper presents an integrative framework for analyzing science
meaning‐making with representations. It integrates the research on multiple
representations and multimodal representations by identifying and leveraging the
differences in their units of analysis in two dimensions: timescale and
compositional grain size. Timescale considers the duration of time a learner
typically spends on... hiện toàn bộ
Inquiry in science education: International perspectivesScience Education - Tập 88 Số 3 - Trang 397-419 - 2004

AbstractThis paper set emerged from an international symposium that aimed to
shed light on issues associated with the enactment of inquiry both as means
(i.e., inquiry as an instructional approach) and as ends (i.e., inquiry as a
learning outcome) in precollege science classrooms. The symposium contributors
were charged with providing perspectives from their countries on the following
major themes... hiện toàn bộ
