Stapleton, Sarah Riggs; Meier, Briana K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to adapt to and rebound from unexpected change and uncertainty. The increasing climate chaos of the Anthropocene additionally underscores the necessity of resilient societies and individuals. Individuals able to problem-solve in emergent situations are integral to a resilient society, and science…

Taylor, Joseph A.; Adams, Catrina T.; Westbrook, Anne L.; Creasap Gee, Jodi; Spybrook, Jessaca K.; Kowalski, Susan M.; Gardner, April L.; Bloom, Mark – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
This article describes the effects of a student-teacher-scientist partnership program on high school students' science outcomes. The design was a cluster-randomized trial with an analytic sample of 36 teachers randomly assigned to teach a photosynthesis- and respiration-focused module including student-designed investigations supported by online…

Zhai, Junqing; Dillon, Justin – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
Botanic gardens are popular destinations for school visits to learn about plant-based science. However, little is known about teaching and learning in such settings, in particular about school visits guided by professional botanic garden educators (BGEs). The purpose of this study was to identify the pedagogical moves of the BGEs during guided…

Rosebery, Ann S.; Warren, Beth; Tucker-Raymond, Eli – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
Early career teachers rarely receive sustained support for addressing issues of diversity and equity in their science teaching. This paper reports on design research to create a 30 hour professional development seminar focused on cultivating the interpretive power of early career teachers who teach science to students from historically…

Ryoo, Kihyun; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
We compared designs of guidance to support students while interacting with dynamic visualizations of complex scientific phenomena in inquiry instruction. Three hundred thirty-two 7th-grade students were randomly assigned to either a reading or a generating condition and completed a web-based inquiry unit focusing on energy concepts in…

Jin, Hui; Shin, HyoJeong; Johnson, Michele E.; Kim, JinHo; Anderson, Charles W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
This study developed learning progression-based measures of science teachers' content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). The measures focus on an important topic in secondary science curriculum using scientific reasoning (i.e., tracing matter, tracing energy, and connecting scales) to explain plants gaining weight and…

Jin, Hui; Anderson, Charles W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
This article reports on our work of developing a learning progression focusing on K-12 students' performances of using energy concept in their accounts of carbon-transforming processes in socio-ecological systems. Carbon-transforming processes--the ecological carbon cycle and the combustion of biomass and fossil fuels--provide all of the energy…

Ryoo, Kihyun; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
Dynamic visualizations have the potential to make abstract scientific phenomena more accessible and visible to students, but they can also be confusing and difficult to comprehend. This research investigates how dynamic visualizations, compared to static illustrations, can support middle school students in developing an integrated understanding of…

Brown, Mary H.; Schwartz, Renee S. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
The biological processes of photosynthesis and plant cellular respiration include multiple biochemical steps, occur simultaneously within plant cells, and share common molecular components. Yet, learners often compartmentalize functions and specialization of cell organelles relevant to these two processes, without considering the interconnections…

Park, Soonhye; Chen, Ying-Chih – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
This study explored the nature of the integration of the five components of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK): (a) Orientations toward Teaching Science, (b) Knowledge of Student Understanding, (c) Knowledge of Instructional Strategies and Representations, (d) Knowledge of Science Curriculum, and (e) Knowledge of Assessment of Science Learning.…

Nicolaidou, Iolie; Kyza, Eleni A.; Terzian, Frederiki; Hadjichambis, Andreas; Kafouris, Dimitris – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
Assessing the credibility of evidence in complex, socio-scientific problems is of paramount importance. However, there is little discussion in the science education literature on this topic and on how students can be supported in developing such skills. In this article, we describe an instructional design framework, which we call the Credibility…
