Haynes, Michele; Brown, Alinta; Nichols, Kim; Parveen Musofer, Reshma – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
An inquiry approach to learning can have a positive impact on students' attitudes to science and their science literacy skills; two attributes that have been in steady decline internationally. The professional development of teachers in inquiry science is one way to ensure that teachers are equipped with effective strategies to teach science,…

Peterson, Linda K. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
The purpose of this explanatory case study was to elaborate on Desimone's professional development framework which holds that effective professional development should include five core features: content focus, active learning, coherence, duration, and collective participation. It did so by investigating the perceptions, professional learning, and…

Knippels, Marie-Christine P. J.; van Harskamp, Michiel – School Science Review, 2018
We present a sequence of professional development sessions to support science teachers in designing socio-scientific inquiry-based learning (SSIBL) lessons to foster democratic citizenship. We focus on seven stages for enacting SSIBL: (1) introducing a dilemma; (2) initial opinion-forming; (3) creating a 'need to know'; (4) inquiry; (5) dialogue;…

Hademenos, George; Russell, Jonathan; Birch, John; Wosczyna-Birch, Karen – Science Teacher, 2010
"Engineering Challenge for the 21st Century," a weeklong teacher workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation, uses project-based learning (PBL) to help students and teachers build science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. The workshop, hosted by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, features the Coast…

Accountability pressures influence all levels of psychology instruction. In this article we explore how to meet those pressures with integrity, focusing on authentic assessment and teaching as a primary solution. We propose a rubric to describe the progress of students' acquisition of scientific inquiry skills applied to behavior and provide an…
