Comparison of Alternative Sequencing of Middle-School Science Curriculum: Classroom Learning Environment and Student Attitudes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Long, Christopher; Fraser, Barry J. – Curriculum and Teaching, 2015
We evaluated the effectiveness of two alternative middle-school science curriculum sequences, namely, a general science model and a topic-specific model (i.e., physics, chemistry, etc.). We also investigated the differential effectiveness of the alternative sequences for two ethnic groups. The sample consisted of 367 grade 8 science students from…

Leveraging Innovation in Science Education: Using Writing and Assessment to Decode the Class Size Conundrum
Direct linkDirect link
Camfield, Eileen Kogl; McFall, Eileen Eckert; Land, Kirkwood M. – Liberal Education, 2016
Introductory biology courses are supposed to serve as gateways for many majors, but too often they serve instead as gatekeepers. Reliance on lectures, large classes, and multiple-choice tests results in high drop and failure rates. Critiques of undergraduate science education are clear about the problems with conventional introductory science…

The Possibilities and Limitations of Curriculum-Based Science Inquiry Interventions for Challenging the "Pedagogy of Poverty"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Thadani, Vandana; Cook, Melissa S.; Griffis, Kathy; Wise, Joe A.; Blakey, Aqila – Equity & Excellence in Education, 2010
Low-income and minority students in the U.S. are disproportionately subjected to didactic, teacher-controlled instruction--a phenomenon called "the pedagogy of poverty" (Haberman, 1991). This study examined the role that curriculum-based interventions could play in addressing these equity issues in science education. Eight teachers from…

Treatment Effect Heterogeneity in a Science Professional Development Initiative: The Case for School Capacity
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Bruch, Sarah; Grigg, Jeffrey; Hanselman, Paul – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
This study focuses on how the treatment effects of a teacher professional development initiative in science differed by school capacity. In other words, the authors are primarily concerned with treatment effect heterogeneity. As such, this paper complements ongoing evaluation of the average treatment effects of the initiative over time. The…
