Ceven McNally, Jennifer – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
The first three years of science teachers' careers is an especially formative period, yet there remains only a limited literature base to support teacher educators who work with this population. Teachers in the induction phase benefit from professional development experiences that support them as they continue to learn about teaching by analyzing…

Carlone, Heidi B.; Haun-Frank, Julie; Webb, Angela – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
When evaluating equity, researchers often look at the "achievement gap." Privileging knowledge and skills as primary outcomes of science education misses other, more subtle, but critical, outcomes indexing inequitable science education. In this comparative ethnography, we examined what it meant to "be scientific" in two fourth-grade classes taught…

Luykx, Aurolyn; Lee, Okhee – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
This article is situated within a theoretical framework, "instructional congruence," articulating issues of student diversity with the demands of academic disciplines. In the context of a large-scale study targeting elementary school science, the article describes a research instrument that aims to combine the strengths of both quantitative and…

Avraamidou, Lucy; Zembal-Saul, Carla – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore what aspects of two first-year elementary teachers' practices were most consistent with an inquiry-based approach, what PCK served as a mechanism for facilitating these practices, and what experiences have mediated the nature and development of these teachers' PCK. For each of the…

Lee, Okhee – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1995
Examined the interrelationships among three major components of classroom teaching: subject matter content knowledge, classroom management, and instructional practices. Observations of a middle school science teacher found that the teacher's limited knowledge of science content and strict classroom order resulted in heavy dependence on the…

Buck, Gayle; Mast, Colette; Ehlers, Nancy; Franklin, Elizabeth – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
A feminist action research team, which consisted of a science educator, an English-language learner (ELL) educator, a first-year science teacher, and a graduate assistant, set a goal to work together to explore the process a beginning teacher goes through to establish a classroom conducive to the needs of middle-level ELL learners. The guiding…
