Shawn Dutkiewicz – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The investigation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and the quality of education within and between the four disciplines continues to be a topic of concern throughout the United States. Employers, policymakers and educators have recognized a need for a stronger focus on the quality of STEM education in schools (Becker…

Capobianco, Brenda M.; Radloff, Jeffrey; Lehman, James D. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
As elementary schools across the U.S. continue to adopt new science education reform, attention is needed to understand how teachers make sense of using engineering design to teach science in their classroom settings. This study examined fourth-grade teachers' sense-making with learning to integrate engineering design-based science instruction and…

Fick, Sarah J.; Chiu, Jennifer L.; McElhaney, Kevin W. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2022
Recent national reforms focus on learning disciplinary core ideas through engaging in science and engineering practices. These reforms also call for students and teachers to use crosscutting concepts (CCCs), or analytical lenses, that support scientific sensemaking and connections across disciplines. The "Framework for K-12 Science…

Laura Super; Shuting Huo; Linda S. Siegel – International Journal for Research in Learning Disabilities, 2024
This research evaluated the implementation of a climate science curriculum intervention for students in Grades 4 and 5, including those who were typically achieving and those with difficulties in mathematics, reading, or both. Pre- and posttests of measurement and climate change science concepts were administered at the beginning and end of each…

Coskunserçe, Ozan – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2021
In studies on the use of robotic in science education, students are generally expected to design and program robots in specially designed robotic laboratories and during extracurricular activities. Although researchers claim that the student-centered approach and active student participation is more effective, teachers generally have to apply…

Amedee Marchand Martella; David Klahr; Weiling Li – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
"Active learning" has been used to describe classrooms that have varied widely with respect to instructional topics, age of learners, and the procedures used to operationalize the general notion of the term. In most cases, the specific variant of active learning under investigation has been more effective than the particular control used…

Lesseig, Kristin; Slavit, David; Nelson, Tamara Holmlund – Middle School Journal, 2017
Given the current emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and its key attributes, middle school is an optimal time to implement STEM-based curricula. However, the interdisciplinary and open-ended nature of STEM projects often makes implementation difficult. In this article, we describe a professional development…

Pugh, Kevin J.; Bergstrom, Cassendra M.; Heddy, Benjamin C.; Krob, Karen E. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
The Teaching for Transformative Experiences in Science (TTES) model was designed to facilitate the application of academic learning in students' everyday experiences. In the current study, we describe a 2-year design-based intervention that aimed to further develop and evaluate the TTES model. In the first year, a teacher implemented the TTES…

Lachapelle, Cathy Pauline; Oh, Yoonkyung; Cunningham, Christine M. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
We present main effects of treatment and moderating effects of student background on science and engineering outcomes for grades 3-5 children participating in an engineering intervention. Data is from a large-scale randomized-controlled trial of two matched pairs (intervention and comparison) of engineering units. The intervention curriculum…
