Direct linkKe, Li; Schwarz, Christina V. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Teachers' instructional practices are critical for guiding students' engagement in scientific practices within the classroom knowledge building community. In this study, we seek to understand how teachers' instructional supports of epistemic aspects involved in scientific modeling may influence students' meaningful engagement in the practice. In…

Johnson, Carla C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
In this study, two middle-school teachers who participated in a professional development program utilizing the transformative professional development (TPD) model are followed as they embarked upon becoming culturally relevant science teachers of Hispanic students. Using Ladson-Billings (1994) theory of culturally relevant pedagogy, teacher…

Winslow, Mark W.; Staver, John R.; Scharmann, Lawrence C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
The goal of this study was to explore Christian biology-related majors' perceptions of conflicts between evolution and their religious beliefs. This naturalistic study utilized a case study design of 15 undergraduate biology-related majors at or recent biology-related graduates from a mid-western Christian university. The broad sources of data…

Glynn, Shawn M.; Taasoobshirazi, Gita; Brickman, Peggy – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
A theoretical model of nonscience majors' motivation to learn science was tested by surveying 369 students in a large-enrollment college science course that satisfies a core curriculum requirement. Based on a social-cognitive framework, motivation to learn science was conceptualized as having both cognitive and affective influences that foster…

Harrison, Allan G.; De Jong, Onno – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
This study describes the multiple analogical models used to introduce and teach Grade 12 chemical equilibrium. We examine the teacher's reasons for using models, explain each model's development during the lessons, and analyze the understandings students derived from the models. A case study approach was used and the data were drawn from the…
