Sutherland, Louise – Teaching Science, 2021
Language is a key part of learning science. Many students for whom English is an additional language or dialect (EAL) encounter difficulties learning science because of their lack of proficiency in English (McCallum & Miller, 2013). These students make up approximately a quarter of the population of many Australian schools (ACARA, 2020). This…

Lee, Okhee – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2021
In the United States, "A Framework for K-12 Science Education" (National Research Council, 2012) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) offer a vision of rigorous science standards for all students across K-12 classrooms. As science and engineering practices (e.g., develop models, argue from evidence, construct explanations) are…

Kangas, Sara E. N.; Hammond, Thomas C.; Bodzin, Alec M. – TESOL Journal, 2019
It has been well documented that English learners (ELs) in U.S. secondary schools have limited access to rigorous content area curriculum, in particular science. Yet watering down or forgoing content area instruction compromises the short- and long-term academic trajectories of ELs. Thus, the need for science curricula that marries rich learning…

Irby, Beverly J.; Tong, Fuhui; Lara-Alecio, Rafael; Guerrero, Cindy; Guo, Wenhong; Abdelrahman, Nahed; Serrano, Jiniva – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2020
In this study, we analyzed the perceptions of treatment teachers who participated in a randomized controlled trial study which targeted a science-infused literacy intervention, "Let's Talk Science," for first grade English language learner students. Three aspects, including the effectiveness of the intervention, details of instructional…

Panizzon, Debra; Pegg, John; Arthur, Dagmar; McCloughan, Gerry – Australian Journal of Education, 2021
Few would argue the value of learning progressions in providing useful structures for selecting and sequencing in a developmental manner the key components of an 'intended curriculum'. Yet, there are pervading issues around what is meant by a developmental sequence, along with how they are used to assess what learners know, understand and can do.…

Ardasheva, Yuliya; Newcomer, Sarah N.; Firestone, Jonah B.; Lamb, Richard L. – Bilingual Research Journal, 2019
This nonexperimental study examined academic performance profiles and contributions of language-specific and metacognitive skills to science reading comprehension of Grade 7 students of varied English proficiency. The sample included 204 regular education students, most of whom were English learners (ELs; 35 non-ELs, 86 current ELs, and 83 former…

Hilde S. Kooiker-den Boer; Ted J. M. Sanders; Jacqueline Evers-Vermeul – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2025
Integrated science-and-literacy programs have proven to positively affect both language proficiency and science knowledge. Because making connections is important in both text comprehension and understanding the disciplinary core ideas taught in science, it seems worthwhile to explore the potential of integrating text structure instruction in…

Williamson, Dolores; Spies, Tracy; Higgins, Kyle; Sparks, Shannon – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2022
This study measured the effect of an evidence-based science curriculum delivered in both English and Spanish using the preview-view-review (PVR) strategy, on the science vocabulary and content knowledge acquired by students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities who were learning English. The intervention was compared to the same…

Msimanga, Audrey; Denley, Paul; Gumede, Nhlakanipho – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2017
One of the objectives of the South African science curriculum is to provide equal access to science for students from all backgrounds. However, this goal remains elusive as many students, particularly those from low socio-economic backgrounds, continue to perform poorly in science. One of the reasons for the persistent differential achievement in…

Louise Sutherland; Lina Markauskaite; Ken Cruickshank – Professional Development in Education, 2023
It is difficult to identify direct causal relationships between school-based professional learning initiatives and changes in the participating teachers' competencies or their students' learning outcomes. This paper contributes a novel approach to examining the impact of such school-based professional learning by integrating the constructs of…

Preston, Christine; Johnstone, John – Teaching Science, 2022
In this article, we present some practical tips primary teachers might use to help their students understand adaptations. We also aim to raise awareness of the learning progression towards understanding one of the big ideas of science. A key message is the role that language plays in presenting scientifically accurate ideas about adaptations.

Gamez, Rebeca; Parker, Carolyn A. – Science Education, 2018
This study investigates how two newcomer students, Elena and Martin, identified with and in science within the context of a classroom utilizing a reform-based science curriculum where instruction occurred only in English. Using ethnographic case study methods, we drew from anthropological theories on identity development and sociocultural…

Aldana, Ursula S.; Martinez, Danny C. – Theory Into Practice, 2018
Drawing on 3 years of observational, survey, and interview data, this article highlights the importance of communities of practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991) for school staff members supporting Spanish-speaking, newcomer students in large, comprehensive high schools that often lack the resources to directly support this population. We highlight how…

Uchechi Agnes Ahanonye; Femi Otulaja; Ida Risenga; Shalini Dukhan – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between life sciences teachers' understanding of indigenous knowledge (IK) and their views of integrating Indigenous Knowledge in their teaching practice. A qualitative case study research approach was adopted, and purposive sampling strategy was used to select eight Grades 10-12 life…

Schonleber, Nanette S. – Journal of Montessori Research, 2021
Indigenous educators desire to use culturally restorative and decolonized pedagogies reflective of their own cultural values and beliefs in their science programs but have lacked models for how to start. They also often lack confidence in their ability to teach the sciences. This three-year qualitative case study used grounded theory methodology…
