Direct linkPapadouris, Nicos; Constantinou, Constantinos P. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
We investigated whether it is possible for 12-year-old students to develop a qualitative conceptualization of energy and four associate features (forms of energy, transfer processes, conservation, and degradation) as a framework for constructing interpretive accounts for the operation of physical phenomena (specifically, for changes taking place…

Gunckel, Kristin L.; Tolbert, Sara – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
The push for STEM has raised the visibility of engineering as a discipline that all students should learn. With the release of the "Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), engineering now has an official place in the science curriculum. In both the "Framework" and the NGSS,…

Roseman, Jo Ellen; Stern, Luli; Koppal, Mary – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
Because textbooks have the potential to be powerful catalysts for improving science teaching and learning, having reliable methods for analyzing important textbook features, such as their coherence, is essential. This study reports on the development of a method in which trained reviewers, following a set of guidelines defining the ideas to be…

Mortensen, Marianne F.; Smart, Kimberly – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
The museum visit is an important part of elementary school science teaching. However, a divide exists between teachers, who require curricular accountability, and museums, who emphasize free-choice exploration. Can a carefully constructed worksheet bridge this divide by providing free-choice exploration of curricular topics during the museum…

Russell, David W.; Lucas, Keith B.; McRobbie, Campbell J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
Teachers' failure to use the microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) more widely may be a result of not recognizing its capacity to transform laboratory activities. This research aimed to increase understanding of how MBL activities designed to be consistent with a constructivist theory of learning support or constrain student construction 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…
