Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Anne; Glazewski, Krista; Jeon, Minji; Jantaraweragul, Katie; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Scribner, Adam; Lee, Seung; Mott, Bradford; Lester, James – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2023
With accelerating advances in artificial intelligence, it is clear that introducing K-12 students to AI is essential for preparation to interact with and potentially develop AI technologies. To succeed as the workers, creators, and innovators of the future, we argue students should encounter core concepts of AI as early as elementary school.…

Gerard, Libby; Bradford, Allison; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Guiding teachers to customize curriculum has shown to improve science instruction when guided effectively. We explore how teachers use student data to customize a web-based science unit on plate tectonics. We study the implications for teacher learning along with the impact on student self-directed learning. During a professional development…

Bopardikar, Anushree; Bernstein, Debra; McKenney, Susan – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
School-based citizen-science can be a powerful means to engage youth in environmental education, yet developing robust science curricula around citizen-science activities is tremendously challenging. Prior research provides limited examples and very little guidance for curriculum designers. To support the designers of school-based citizen-science…
