O'Neill, Tara; Finau-Faumuina, Bella Melenaite; Ford, Tessie U?ilani Lumabao – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Given the growing global environmental threats, shifts to increasingly binary thinking that isolate and polarize discourse, and the erosion of caring for each other and our places, the authors believe it is imperative that we change the way science and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education connect with communities and are…

Emily E. Scott; Jack Cerchiara; Jenny L. McFarland; Mary Pat Wenderoth; Jennifer H. Doherty – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
In recent years, there has been a strong push to transform STEM education at K-12 and collegiate levels to help students learn to think like scientists. One aspect of this transformation involves redesigning instruction and curricula around fundamental scientific ideas that serve as conceptual scaffolds students can use to build cohesive knowledge…

Khanh Q. Tran; S. Selcen Guzey – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Science teachers and educators seek to promote equity and inclusion within their classrooms. Yet, many do not examine how their roles could reproduce oppression that continues to exclude certain groups of students. Centering on how oppression interacts with science teaching and learning, this naturalistic study observed Ms. William and her…

K. Rende Mendoza; Carla C. Johnson – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
The teaching of science in K-12 schools has long been criticized as a process that propagates oppression for students who do not conform to entrenched norms of gender, sex, and sexuality. Academic standards, curriculum, and textbooks are rife with rhetoric that reinforces any deviation from cisheterosexuality as aberrant, unusual, or abnormal.…

Britney L. Jones – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Science education policies and standards have called for educators to teach students about the Nature of Science (NOS) and engage them in Culturally Relevant Science Teaching (CRST), which requires critical shifts away from traditional science teaching. As such, teachers are being asked to possess or take up conceptions of science that challenge…

Sage Andersen; María González-Howard; Karina Méndez Pérez – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
This study explored a middle school science teacher's curricular sensemaking in interaction with their use of an educative storyline curriculum, aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, that was intentionally designed for more opportunities for students' scientific sensemaking. Using a phenomenological case study methodology, we examined…

Gunckel, Kristin L.; Covitt, Beth A.; Berkowitz, Alan R.; Caplan, Bess; Moore, John C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Nearly a decade ago, the "Framework for K-12 Science Education" argued for the need to intertwine science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts in performance expectations. However, there are few empirical examples for how intertwining three dimensions facilitates learning. In this study, we used a…

Payne, Corey; Crippen, Kent J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Persistence is a major issue facing students, particularly those who are both female and from underrepresented ethnic minorities (URM). A closer look at the variables affecting their commitment and capacity for continuing the pursuit of their goal allows us to better design support systems that bolster persistence. This study tests a structural…

Anwar, Saira; Menekse, Muhsin; Guzey, Selcen; Bryan, Lynn A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Recent calls for reform in K-12 science education and the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century emphasize improving science teaching, students' engagement, and learning. In this study, we designed and implemented a curriculum unit for sixth-grade students (i = 1305). The curriculum unit integrated…
