Tang, AiBin; Li, WenYe; Liu, Dawei – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Teachers' professional development (PD) is considered to be a topic of interest in science education. This study examines the impact of professional development in science pedagogy (PD in PED) on students' achievement and how it influences teachers' instruction based on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science (TIMSS) 2019. The sample…

Shinana, Ester; Ngcoza, Kenneth M.; Mavhunga, Elizabeth – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Research findings show that inquiry-based science education has positive effects in improving learning of both science content knowledge and scientific inquiry (SI) skills. As a result, various science curricula, including that of Namibia, recommend the use of an inquiry-based approach in science teaching. However, the implementation of an…

Yoon, Susan A.; Yom, Jessica Koehler; Yang, Zhitong; Liu, Lei – Teachers College Record, 2017
Background: Recent research investigating the conditions under which science teachers can successfully implement science education reforms suggests that focusing only on professional development to improve content knowledge and teaching skills--often referred to as human capital--may not be enough. Increasingly, possessing social capital, defined…

Smith, M. Cecil; Darfler, Anne – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2012
US educators express concern that students are turning away from the study of science and have little interest in pursuing science careers. Nationally, science achievement scores for 8th graders are unchanged since 1996, but 12th graders' scores have significantly decreased. A shortcoming of education reform efforts is lack of attention to…

Douglas, Rowena; Worth, Karen; Klentschy, Mike – National Science Teachers Association (NJ3), 2006
This book is aimed at teachers who feared they do not know how to integrate science with all-important language arts lessons. The message: It isn't just possible to incorporate science into language arts, it also makes a lot of sense. "Linking Science and Literacy" is divided into two kinds of convincing content. In 16 chapters, prominent National…
