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 backgroun...... hiện toàn bộ
“Chemistry for all, instead of chemistry just for the elite”: Lessons learned from detracked chemistry classroomsScience Education - Tập 91 Số 5 - Trang 683-709 - 2007
Maika Watanabe, Nicole L. Nunes, Sheryl Dee Mebane, Kathleen Scalise, Jennifer Claesgens
AbstractWithin the already limited literature on instructional practices in detracked classrooms, there are even fewer research‐based studies of detracked science classrooms. This article attempts to address this gap in the research literature, delving into the unique challenges and instructional responses to teaching detracked science. The authors report on a case...... hiện toàn bộ
