Lou, Anna J.; Jaeggi, Susanne M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
There have been many practical obstacles for teachers to implement evidence-based educational technology, especially in STEM classrooms. By implementing learning principles related to Cognitive Load Theory, we developed an innovative Technology-Assisted Guided Learning (TAGL) approach and its web-based instructional tool, combining expertise from…

Settlage, John; Southerland, Sherry A.; Smith, Leigh K.; Ceglie, Robert – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
This study examined the influence of field placements settings with varying demographic profiles on preservice elementary teachers. Data were gathered at three points during the participants' final year in their teacher preparation program in order to chart changes over time in science teaching self-efficacy beliefs. These measures were…

Renner, John W.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Discusses a study which examined the last factor of Piaget's model of intelligence-functioning. Sought to determine if empirical evidence could be formed to support the existence of assimilation, disequilibrium, accommodation, and organization in the learning of physics. Naturalistic data provided support for the Piagetian functioning model of…
