Ayça K. Fackler – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2025
While recent research has examined students' and teachers' understanding of models and modeling, few studies have focused on how teacher educators can support preservice elementary science teachers in envisioning enriched learning processes and outcomes for their students while engaging in modeling practices. Informed by reflective practices…

Judith Cooper-Wagoner – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This study examined the ways in which elementary science teachers notice, interpret and respond to students' sensemaking resources that students bring to school in the form of science toolkits. The science toolkits are comprised of three sensemaking resources: (1) ideas; (2) out-of-school experiences and funds of knowledge, and (3) youth genre.…

Chen, Ying-Chih; Techawitthayachinda, Ratrapee – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Science teachers usually view students' uncertainty as a barrier to overcome, a negative experience to be avoided, a deficiency in need of remedy. Building on the theory of deep learning in science as a generative and sensemaking process, the purpose of this design-based study is to identify tactics for teachers to manage their students' epistemic…

Morgado, Sofia; Leite, Laurinda; Dourado, Luís – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
Contextualised learning is required for learners to master successfully the 'big ideas' of science and to perceive the relevance of science education. Science curricula can either foster or impair teaching for contextualised learning depending on what science they plan to be taught and the way they recommend this to be done. This paper presents an…

Kazempour, Mahsa; Amirshokoohi, Aidin; Blamey, Katrin – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
Studies focusing on pre-service teachers have shown that the inclusion of the learning cycle model in a methods course result in improvement in understanding of and attitude toward the learning cycle model of inquiry. However, pre-service teachers' understanding and beliefs about the learning cycle model may remain varied and inaccurate and their…

Rosa, Holly; Hodgson-Drysdale, Tracy – Language and Education, 2021
This article examines the key change processes (KCPs) in the critical systemic functional linguistics praxis (CSFLP) of a science teacher, the first author, as she learned SFL theory as a metalanguage for thinking about language and for teaching science writing to culturally and linguistically diverse students. In this case study (Yin, 2012),…

Acharya, Kamal Prasad; Budhathoki, Chitra Bahadur; Bjønness, Birgitte; Devkota, Bhimsen – Educational Action Research, 2022
Literature on school education suggests that teaching and learning science in basic level community schools in Nepal is largely theoretical. Consequently, achievement levels and the understanding of concepts of science is much below policy expectations. This paper builds on a shift from dogmatic lecturing to activity-based pedagogy using school…
