Peer reviewedJones, M. Gail; Rua, Melissa J.; Carter, Glenda – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1998
Examines how science teachers' (n=14) knowledge of science and science pedagogy changed after participation in a constructivist-based methods course. More-experienced teachers were paired with less-experienced teachers, and pre- and post-instructional concept maps, journals, portfolios, and transcripts revealed that, within the zone of proximal…
