Meaningful participation in science and engineering practices requires that students make their thinking visible to others and build on one another's ideas. But sharing ideas with others in small groups and classrooms carries social risk, particularly for students from nondominant groups and communities. In this paper, we explore how students'…

Stern, Florian; Kampourakis, Kostas; Müller, Andreas – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Biology education research has shown that deeply rooted intuitions can influence students' understanding of biological phenomena. One example is design teleology, the intuition that organisms' traits were designed to fulfill a goal. Another example is psychological essentialism, the intuition that organisms have fixed essences. Past research has…

Lv, Beibei; Wang, Jingying; Zheng, Yonghe; Peng, Xinhe; Ping, Xiaomei – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Gender gaps in STEM fields have been studied for a long time, and the primary focus has been on the relationship among social support (parents and teachers), STEM beliefs (STEM interest belief, self-efficacy belief, and value belief), and STEM career expectations. Framed in Expectancy-Value Models, this article aimed to explore how social support…

Woithe, Julia; Müller, Andreas; Schmeling, Sascha; Kuhn, Jochen – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Previous studies highlight the positive effects of science outreach labs, in particular on students' motivational variables. However, out-of-school learning is generally associated with high novelty and specific setting characteristics that can impact learning and development. Indeed, previous studies call for further research on students'…

Plummer, Julia D.; Udomprasert, Patricia; Vaishampayan, Abha; Sunbury, Susan; Cho, Kyungjin; Houghton, Harry; Johnson, Erin; Wright, Erika; Sadler, Philip M.; Goodman, Alyssa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Strong spatial skills are foundational in predicting students' performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Decades of research have considered the relationship between thinking spatially and how scientists reason and solve problems. However, few studies have examined the factors that influence improvement in…

Wieselmann, Jeanna R.; Dare, Emily A.; Roehrig, Gillian H.; Ring-Whalen, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Integrated approaches to teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are increasingly being implemented in elementary and middle school classrooms, and despite a variety of conceptions of integrated STEM, researchers agree that small group activities and teamwork play a central role in STEM learning. However, little is known…

Donovan, Brian M.; Weindling, Monica; Salazar, Brae; Duncan, Alex; Stuhlsatz, Molly; Keck, Phillip – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Recently, it has been argued that improving students' genomics literacy could prevent students from developing erroneous beliefs about social identity, such as the belief that racial groups differ cognitively and behaviorally because of their genes; a belief called genetic essentialism. To date, however, little research has explored if or how a…

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…

Boda, Phillip A.; Bathia, Shruti; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Integrating sophisticated graphical analysis skills as they learn science is essential for K-12 students and emphasized in current standards. In this study, we iteratively designed a Graphing Integration Inventory (GII) over a three-year period, while also supporting students to develop their capabilities to use graphs to learn science content in…

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Pinson, Halleli; Feniger, Yariv; Barak, Yael – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
In the past three decades in high-income countries, female students have outperformed male students in most indicators of educational attainment. However, the underrepresentation of girls and women in science courses and careers, especially in physics, computer sciences, and engineering, remains persistent. What is often neglected by the vast…

Steegh, Anneke M.; Höffler, Tim N.; Keller, Melanie M.; Parchmann, Ilka – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Gendered patterns in mathematics and science interest emerge in early childhood, develop over time, and ultimately reflect advanced course selection in secondary education. During the crucial time adolescents become aware of their strengths and interests and specialize accordingly, they get the opportunity to participate in out-of-school learning…

Upadhyay, Bhaskar; Atwood, Erin; Tharu, Baliram – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
This case study explores how a group of Grade 9 students engaged in sociopolitical discourses and actions in a science class in a mostly indigenous student school in Nepal. The study used sociopolitical consciousness (SPC) as a framework to document and understand indigenous students' SPC-oriented science interactions and subsequent social change…

Carlone, Heidi B.; Scott, Catherine M.; Lowder, Cassi – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
Students' declining science interest in middle school is often attributed to psychological factors like shifts of motivational values, decrease in self-efficacy, or doubts about the utility of schooling in general. This paper adds to accounts of the middle school science problem through an ethnographic, longitudinal case study of three…
