This study explored a modified version of Japanese Lesson Study to determine whether and how it influenced preservice elementary teachers in their abilities to deliver science lessons that included nature of science (NOS) to their own students. We used a case study approach that focused on one subset of a cohort of preservice elementary teachers within their field placement settings. Data sources ...... hiện toàn bộ

Geilsa Costa Santos Baptista, Rodrigo da Silva Santos, William W. Cobern
This paper presents the results of research regarding approaches to the origin of life featured in science textbooks produced by an Evangelical publisher. The research nature was qualitative with document analysis and an interpretive framework based on Epistemological Pluralism. Overall, the results indicate that there are four perspectives on the origin of life in textbooks under study. These per...... hiện toàn bộ
Question Posing, Inquiry, and Modeling Skills of Chemistry Students in the Case-Based Computerized Laboratory EnvironmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 597-625 - 2008
Zvia Kaberman, Yehudit Judy Dori
A new learning unit in chemistry, Case-based Computerized Laboratories (CCL) and Computerized Molecular Modeling (CMM) was developed at the Technion. The CCL and CMM curriculum integrates computerized desktop experiments and molecular modeling with an emphasis on scientific inquiry and case studies. Our research aimed at investigating the effect of the CCL and CMM learning environment on students’...... hiện toàn bộ
STUDENTS’ OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN TRANSFORMATIONAL ALGEBRAIC ACTIVITY IN DIFFERENT BEGINNING ALGEBRA TOPICS AND CLASSESSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 285-307 - 2014
Michal Ayalon, Ruhama Even
This study compares students’ opportunities to engage in transformational (rule-based) algebraic activity between 2 classes taught by the same teacher and across 2 topics in beginning algebra: forming and investigating algebraic expressions and equivalence of algebraic expressions. It comprises 2 case studies; each involves a teacher teaching in two 7th grade classes. All 4 classes used the same t...... hiện toàn bộ
Examine the Impact of Contextual, Personal, and Behavioral Factors on High School Teachers’ Engagement in Teaching Science Using an Integrated STEM ApproachSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-27 - 2024
Khut Sokha
Teachers’ self-efficacy, attitude, and engagement are influenced by various factors, encompassing personal, school contextual, and behavioral aspects. Nevertheless, prior studies have not thoroughly explored the intricate relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy, attitudes, and engagement, particularly in the context of teaching science through an integrated STEM approach (ISTEMA). Drawing upo...... hiện toàn bộ
Process based investigations of conceptual development: an explorative studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 689-725 - 2006
Claudia von Aufschnaiter
Research on conceptual change is still a powerful framework for empirical investigations on students' learning of science. During recent years, an increasing body of research has explored students' concepts prior and subsequent to instruction, leading to an extensive documentation of students' concepts including the difficulties and opportunities of teaching for conceptual change. Though the resea...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring high school students’ disciplinary science identities and their differencesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 377-394 - 2022
Sitong Chen, Bing Wei, Hongfeng Zhang
The notion of science identity has been widely discussed in the field of science education in recent years. Many research studies have focused on students’ science identity in a general sense in spite of the fact that students are usually exposed to discipline-specific science courses in high school. We argue that it is more appropriate to explore high school students’ disciplinary identities in n...... hiện toàn bộ
