Burgess, Terrance; Patterson Williams, Alexis – Science Education, 2022
In this paper, we outline how science teachers might engage in the work of creating educational equity. While acknowledging the historical inherent inequities associated with issues of access, opportunities to engage in science learning for individuals of marginalized identities (e.g., BIPOC individuals and women), and achievement, we broaden this…

Alonzo, Alicia C.; Elby, Andrew – Cognition and Instruction, 2019
As scientific models of student thinking, learning progressions (LPs) have been evaluated in terms of one important, but limited, criterion: fit to empirical data. We argue that LPs are not empirically adequate, largely because they rely on problematic assumptions of theory-like coherence in students' thinking. Through an empirical investigation…

Biswas, Gautam; Segedy, James R.; Bunchongchit, Kritya – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
This paper presents an overview of 10 years of research with the "Betty's Brain" computer-based learning environment. We discuss the theoretical basis for "Betty's Brain" and the learning-by-teaching paradigm. We also highlight our key research findings, and discuss how these findings have shaped subsequent research. Throughout…

Forsthuber, Bernadette; Motiejunaite, Akvile; de Almeida Coutinho, Ana Sofia – Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, European Commission, 2011
Few European countries have developed a broad strategic framework to raise the profile of science in education and wider society. However, a wide range of initiatives have been implemented in many countries. The impact of these various activities is nevertheless difficult to measure. School partnerships with science-related organisations are…

Costa, Nilza; Marques, Luis; Kempa, Richard – Research in Science and Technological Education, 2000
Reports on a small-scale study designed to estimate science teachers' awareness of findings derived from research in science education and other branches of educational research. Focuses on experienced science teachers in Portugal who were following advanced professional training programs that usually lead to Masters' degrees in science education.…

Pines, A. Leon – 1979
This paper outlines two alternate ways in which concepts are acquired, known as "top down" and "bottom up". "Bottom up" refers to learning the members of a category and then extracting their similarities or differences, the rule or criterial attributes used to make the categorization. In the "top down"…

Harty, Harold – 1972
Reported is an investigation of the perceived-importance and perceived-presence of consultant activities via teachers, principals, and consultants. The selected consultant behaviors focused on classroom interactions with teachers and children. Three groups of educators were selected: 65 teachers who had implemented the process-oriented curriculum;…

Marek, Edmund A.; Methven, Suzanne B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1991
Reports a study that investigated the relationship among (1) teacher's attitudes and implementation of inservice workshop developed learning cycle science materials, and (2) elementary school student's conservation reasoning and language used to describe properties of objects. Data were gathered from 100 students from grades K-5 and 16 teachers…

Glasson, George E.; Lalik, Rosary V. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
This study investigated whether Science Curriculum Improvement Study or more recent interpretations of the learning cycle could be used by teachers to engage students in social constructivist learning. Two researchers and six science teachers implemented instruction based on the reciprocal use of language and action. Changing beliefs and practices…

Marek, Edmund A.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1990
This study examined the relationship that exists between high school teachers' (n=25) understanding of the Piagetian developmental model of intelligence; its inherent teaching procedure, the learning cycle, and classroom teaching practices. The teachers who exhibited a sound understanding of the model were more likely to effectively implement the…

Barman, Charles R.; Shedd, Jill D. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 1992
Study analyzed the use of K-6 science materials called "Learning about Thinking & Thinking about Learning" in an inservice teacher education program for 18 teachers. From interviews, participants indicated that they gained useful information from the program. The evaluative measures utilized suggest that the inservice had a positive…

Gayford, Chris – Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 2003
This article describes research with schoolteachers using participatory methods and reflective practice. These approaches have been used to enable teachers to establish their practice needs in relation to education for sustainability (EfS) and also maintain the integrity of their subject disciplines. The participatory methods are derived from…
