Kubsch, Marcus; Krist, Christina; Rosenberg, Joshua M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Machine learning (ML) has become commonplace in educational research and science education research, especially to support assessment efforts. Such applications of machine learning have shown their promise in replicating and scaling human-driven codes of students' work. Despite this promise, we and other scholars argue that machine learning has…

Jerrid Kruse; Sarah Voss; Jaclyn Easter; Isaiah Kent-Schneider; Lucas Menke; David Owens; Kean Roberts; Lindsay Woodward – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
The goals of science education must be sufficiently broad to support learners navigating changing scientific, social, and media landscapes. This position paper builds upon existing scholarship to articulate a set of constructs useful for navigating the modern information landscape including constructs with a long history in science education…

Talanquer, Vicente – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
The extent and quality of Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) at the post-secondary level have grown substantially in recent years. Associated research findings are central to current reform efforts to transform science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in colleges and universities across the United States. The increased…

Wood, Nathan Brent; Erichsen, Elizabeth Anne; Anicha, Cali L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
This special issue of the Journal of Research in Science Teaching seeks to explore conceptualizations of culture that address contemporary challenges in science education. Toward this end, we unite two theoretical perspectives to advance a conceptualization of culture as a complex system, emerging from iterative processes of cultural bricolage,…

Singer, Susan Rundell – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
This special issue of "Journal of Research in Science Teaching" reflects conclusions and recommendations in the "Discipline-Based Education Research" (DBER) report and makes a substantial contribution to advancing the field. Research on undergraduate science learning is currently a loose affiliation of related fields. The…

Roth, Wolff-Michael – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
In the wake of an increasing political commitment to evidence-based decision making and evidence-based educational reform that emerged with the No Child Left Behind effort, the question of what counts as evidence has become increasingly important in the field of science education. In current public discussions, academics, politicians, and other…

Lewis, Elizabeth B.; Baker, Dale R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
A lack of qualified teachers and low enrollment in the geosciences exist at both secondary and tertiary levels in the United States. Consequently, it is unlikely that students will be able to achieve scientific literacy without an increase in both of these populations. To address these problems, we pose research questions, highlight sociocultural…

Pellegrino, James W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
Beginning with a reference to living in a time of both uncertainty and opportunity, this article presents a discussion of key areas where shared understanding is needed if we are to successfully realize the design and use of high quality, valid assessments of science. The key areas discussed are: (1) assessment purpose and use, (2) the nature of…

Novak, Joseph D. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
Research work in science education is a special area of scholarship within the scientific enterprise. The scientific enterprise ranks with the arts and religion as one of the major areas of human endeavor. Science education can be classified within science, albeit it stands as a poor cousin when compared with physics, biology and other fields. The…

Butts, David P. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Discusses the science education research agenda from the viewpoints of learning theorists, political and social scientists, counseling psychologists, cognition psychologists, and pedagogical researchers. Indicates that a broader perspective of these areas helps to link the research agenda to science teachers' questions/concerns, and to such areas…

Connelly, F. Michael; Clandinin, D. Jean – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Outlines a narrative method for the study of classrooms. The main feature of the method is the reconstruction of classroom meaning in terms of narrative unities in the lives of classroom participants. The work's theoretical character is introduced by comparison and contrast with Schon's "The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think in…

Roberts, Douglas A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Develops a way to conceptualize the complementarity of quantitative and qualitative research in science education, demonstrating through analysis of examples that qualitative and quantitative research reports follow the same pattern of argument, although the metaphysical roots behind their methodologies are obviously different. (Author/SK)

Welch, Wayne W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Naturalistic and experimental inquiry methods in educational research and evaluation are described and compared, using illustrations from two science education research projects. Several strengths and limitations of each inquiry style are identified. Suggests that investigators consider both paradigms in planning research and evaluation studies.…

Rist, Ray C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Discusses key processes in conducting qualitative research: problem definition, gaining access to collect data, modes of data collection, modes of analysis, and presentation of findings. Compares qualitative with quantitative research methods. (JN)

Robottom, Ian – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Discussed is the issue of the appropriateness of applied science approaches to evaluation in environmental education. The relationships between characteristics of applied science approaches to evaluation and the special characteristics of environmental education are explored. (Author/YP)
