Models and modelling play a critical role in science education to engage students more fully in science practices. Few studies have investigated the nature of models and modelling in integrated STEM teacher education. This study examines pre-service science teachers' (PSTs) understanding of the nature of models and modelling in a STEM methods…

Tokuhama-Espinosa, Tracey; Nouri, Ali – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
While there is a growing interest among teachers to embed Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) knowledge in their practice, most are still not clear about the key concepts in the field that have the potential to improve their pedagogical knowledge. The present study was conducted to identify the domains of current MBE knowledge that are important for…

Ryan S. Nixon; Adam Bennion – Science Education, 2025
Although teachers have opportunities to learn about many things through teaching experience, we know little about how they develop science subject matter knowledge in this setting. With both limited opportunities to learn science subject matter knowledge before becoming teachers and minimal science professional development available while working…

Julianne A. Wenner; Sarah Lausch; Megan Frary; Paul Simmonds – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
"Those who can't do, teach." This adage is common, perhaps because the general public does not fully understand what teachers do. Here, we describe our findings from a collaborative project, GIFT (Graduate Identity Formation through Teaching), in which STEM graduate students (GSs) taught science content to teacher candidates (TCs) and…

Sibel Telli – Athens Journal of Education, 2025
This descriptive qualitative case study aims to find out the pre-service science teachers (PST)' confidence about instructional practice in outdoor setting, their knowledge about the plants and it explores the two research questions: To what extent do the preservice science teachers have confidence to teach in the outdoor settings? (1) and What…

Do College Science Courses Help Preservice Elementary Teachers Learn the Science They Need to Teach?
Ryan S. Nixon; Alexandra Dorine Swain – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Teacher preparation programs often rely on college science courses to help preservice elementary teachers learn science subject matter. However, the impact of these courses has not been sufficiently explored. In this study we explore the relationships between new elementary teachers' science subject matter knowledge and their college science…

Leslie Y. Garrido – ProQuest LLC, 2024
As the adoption rate of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) continues to rise in the United States, there is an increasing need for the development of high-quality instructional materials that reflect NGSS and effectively prepare teachers for its implementation. The NGSS aim to foster an understanding of three interconnected dimensions in…

Ashli M. Wright; Marie Janelle Tacloban; Shelby Lake; Melissa McCartney – Discover Education, 2024
Scientific practices describe behaviors scientists engage in while investigating the natural world. Educators should be aware of different science practice frameworks to better understand their students' progression for learning science practices across the K-20 spectrum. For example, a high school AP instructor would benefit from understanding…

Charity Esenam Anor – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2024
Encouraging sustainability in science education demands a collaborative approach, involving the integration of diverse knowledge systems, including indigenous and formal scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, educators' perceptions of these knowledge systems are crucial factors to consider. This study investigated the perceptions of pre-service…

Pringle, Rose M.; Mesa, Jennifer; Hayes, Lynda – Research in Science Education, 2020
Preparing teachers to teach science consistent with current reforms in science education is a daunting enterprise given a lack of high-quality science professional development (PD) adaptable across various contexts (Wilson 2013). This study examines the impact of a comprehensive professional development program on middle school teachers'…

Ramchand, Mythili – Contemporary Education Dialogue, 2022
Pedagogic Content Knowledge (PCK) is variously considered a useful framework, construct, model and tool to both understand and help form the knowledge base for teaching. There exists extant literature on the PCK of science. Building on this literature, this study aims to contribute towards an understanding of implementing curriculum reforms in…

Helene Friis Ratner – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2024
It is well-known that digital learning materials influence the classroom curriculum and didactics. At the same time, few studies examine the role of the data visualizations offered by digital learning materials. Data visualizations signpost the emergence of students as data subjects who can be observed and compared on a computer screen. They thus…

Hilfert-Rüppell, Dagmar; Meier, Monique; Horn, Daniel; Höner, Kerstin – Education Sciences, 2021
Understanding and knowledge of scientific reasoning skills is a key ability of pre-service teachers. In a written survey (open response format), biology and chemistry pre-service teachers (n = 51) from two German universities claimed central decisions or actions school students have to perform in scientific reasoning in the open inquiry…
