Tammy D. Lee; Carrie Lee; Mark Newton; Paul Vos; Jennifer Gallagher; Daniel Dickerson; Camryn Regenthal – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Learning science is a social enterprise that involves students communicating ideas, observations, and findings. Navigating talk between students about scientific concepts and practices is a complex task for teachers. Traditionally, science educators have used a method called microteaching (teaching to peers) as a context for practicing teaching.…

Calli Shekell; Jamie N. Mikeska; Pavneet Kaur Bharaj – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Preservice teachers (PSTs) need to be able to use ambitious teaching practices to help support their students' productive engagement in scientific practices such as analyzing and interpreting data or using evidence-based reasoning to support their claims. Approximations of practice are one way in which teacher educators can support their PSTs to…

Bautista, Nazan Uludag; Boone, William J. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a mixed-reality teaching environment, called TeachME™ Lab (TML), on early childhood education majors' science teaching self-efficacy beliefs. Sixty-two preservice early childhood teachers participated in the study. Analysis of the quantitative (STEBI-b) and qualitative (journal entries)…

Richmond, Gail; Parker, Joyce M.; Kaldaras, Leonora – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2016
The Next-Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call for a different approach to learning science. They promote three-dimensional (3D) learning that blends disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts and scientific practices. In this study, we examined explanations constructed by secondary science teacher candidates (TCs) as a scientific practice…

Schwarz, Christina V.; Meyer, Jason; Sharma, Ajay – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2007
This study infused computer modeling and simulation tools in a 1-semester undergraduate elementary science methods course to advance preservice teachers' understandings of computer software use in science teaching and to help them learn important aspects of pedagogy and epistemology. Preservice teachers used computer modeling and simulation tools…

Price, Charles L. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 1989
Ways in which computers can contribute to science instruction are described. Science software is classified according to the primary assistance provided the teacher-instruction, information, or measurement and analysis. Drill and practice, simulations, tutorials, interactive videodisc, word processors, spreadsheets, databases, microcomputer-based…

Roberts, Nancy; Blakeslee, George; Barowy, William – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 1996
Explores the potential for and limitations to learning science when middle-school students interact with computer simulations designed by scientists and built by professional programmers. Findings suggest that computer simulations can be used effectively when teachers use learning needs to guide choice of pedagogical style and alternate…
