Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about…

Carlone, Heidi B.; Johnson, Angela; Scott, Catherine M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Larger social structures such as race, class, gender, and sexuality and classroom structures like narrowly defined participation practices constrain individuals' agency to engage in untroubled and sustained science identity work. This article explores the central dilemma of attending to structure and agency in settings where inequities are…

Balgopal, Meena M.; Wallace, Alison M.; Dahlberg, Steven – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
The research objective of this study was to describe the frames that students from two culturally distinct institutions used in their argumentative essays on a locally relevant environmental socioscientific issue. Participants (n = 47) were recruited from biology courses designed for pre-service elementary teachers at both a public university and…

Zeyer, Albert; Çetin-Dindar, Ayla; Md Zain, Ahmad Nurulazam; Juriševic, Mojca; Devetak, Iztok; Odermatt, Freia – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
The present study is based on the empathizing-systemizing (E-S) theory of cognitive science. It was hypothesized that the influence of students' gender on their motivation to learn science is often overestimated in the research literature and that cognitive style is more important for motivation than students' gender. By using structural equation…

Lopez, Enrique J.; Shavelson, Richard J.; Nandagopal, Kiruthiga; Szu, Evan; Penn, John – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
Chemistry courses remain a challenge for many undergraduate students. In particular, first-semester organic chemistry has been labeled as a gatekeeper with high attrition rates, especially among students of color. Our study examines a key factor related to conceptual understanding in science and predictive of course outcomes-knowledge structures.…

Jack, Brady Michael; Lin, Huann-shyang; Yore, Larry D. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
This study investigates how affective and self-related factors impact participation in science learning and environmental awareness and responsibility. Using PISA 2006 datasets from Taiwan and Canada having similar level of science competency, the model for this study verifies and expands an earlier model by examining the relationships among…

Fensham, Peter J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
The globalized nature of modern society has generated a number of pressures that impact internationally on countries' policies and practices of science education. Among these pressures are key issues of health and environment confronting global science, global economic control through multi-national capitalism, comparative and competitive…

Wang, Jianjun; Oliver, J. Steve; Staver, John R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2008
Science achievement and self-concept are articulated in this study to examine a model of reciprocal relationship during a crosscultural transition. Trend data have been gathered to assess changes of the perceived English importance before and after Hong Kong's sovereignty handover from Britain to China. The data analyses were conducted four times…

Rivera Maulucci, Maria S. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
This study describes the resources and strategies middle school teachers, urban fellows, and a district science staff developer coactivated to resist the marginalization of science in a high-poverty, low-performing urban school. Through critical narrative inquiry, I document factors that marginalized science in three teachers' classrooms. The…

Jones, M. Gail; Tretter, Thomas; Paechter, Manuela; Kubasko, Dennis; Bokinsky, Alexandra; Andre, Thomas; Negishi, Atsuko – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
This study examined middle and high school students' perceptions of a weeklong science experience with nanotechnology and atomic force microscopy. Through an examination of student self assessments and their writing, the study allowed us to examine some of the issues that may contribute to discrepancies that are seen between European-American and…

Peer reviewedSeiler, Gale; Tobin, Ken; Sokolic, Joseph – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
Discusses resistance in teaching from two perspectives as strategies of action associated with science activities that are not aligned with learning, and the labeling and responses of teachers to student behaviors. Focuses on cultural miscues and resources effective in the classroom environment. (Author/YDS)

Peer reviewedSeiler, Gale – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2001
Recognizes the persistent science achievement gap between inner-city African American students and students from the mainstream and suggests that the imposition of external standards on inner-city schools will do little to ameliorate this gap because such an approach fails to address the significance of the social and cultural lives of the…

Peer reviewedCohen, Herbert G. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
Investigated spatial thinking abilities of sixth- and tenth-grade students from two locales--a school on the Navajo reservation and schools in Mesa, Arizona. Overall findings support the contention that there were no substantial time delays or advances in development of selected spatial abilities of Navajo students compared to parallel non-Indian…

Peer reviewedBarton, Angela Calabrese; Yang, Kimberly – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000
Discusses the need for science educators to understand the relationship between cultural and socioeconomic issues and the science education of inner-city students. Studies a homeless family in a major metropolitan area in the Northeast and frames the analysis through the pedagogical questions of representation of science through culture,…
