Haverly, Christa; Lyle, Angela; Spillane, James P.; Davis, Elizabeth A.; Peurach, Donald J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a reform effort "for states, by states," advances ambitious ideals for elementary science teaching, but the fate of these ideals will depend in part on the engagement of state science coordinators (SSCs). This article explores the responses of SSCs to NGSS in a purposeful sample of 18 US…

Gillespie Rouse, Amy; Rouse, Rob – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Incorporating engineering instruction into the elementary curriculum is not without challenges. Traditionally, researchers investigated using engineering design to promote students learning science concepts. More recently, researchers have conducted qualitative investigations to measure students' learning of engineering concepts after engaging in…
