A key goal of recent reforms in science education has been to support students' collective sensemaking, in which they work together to understand a natural phenomenon. This work is often done during class discussions, but facilitating those discussions is challenging. In this study, we used a framework of three discussion types to investigate how…

Cherbow, Kevin; McNeill, Katherine L. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Background: Teachers need to make sense of curricular materials and design instruction to ensure students will be positioned to pursue their own arc of inquiry in curriculum enactment. Whole-group discussions are crucial opportunities for curricular sensemaking, yet planning and enactment can be challenging. Methods: We used a single, revelatory…

González-Howard, María; McNeill, Katherine L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Abstract For students to meaningfully engage in science practices, substantive changes need to occur to deeply entrenched instructional approaches, particularly those related to classroom discourse. Because teachers are critical in establishing how students are permitted to interact in the classroom, it is imperative to examine their role in…

W.; Buck Bracey, Zoë E.; Deutch Noll, Jamie; Kowalski, Susan M.; Novak, Dawn; Lo, Abraham S.; Landel, Carolyn; Krumm, Andrew; Penuel, William R.; Van Horne, Katie; González-Howard, María; Suárez, Enrique – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
OpenSciEd is an ambitious effort to implement the vision of the "Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the "Next Generation Science Standards" broadly across the United States. The premise of OpenSciEd is that high quality instructional materials can play a critical role in transforming science teaching and learning at a…

Loper, Suzanna; McNeill, Katherine L.; Goss, Megan – Advances in STEM Education, 2018
Science teachers need support in developing pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) around science practices such as argumentation. Educative curriculum materials (ECMs) have great potential as a tool to support teachers' PCK development, particularly for in-service teachers. In this chapter, we describe an intervention in which we developed and…

McNeill, Katherine L.; González-Howard, María; Katsh-Singer, Rebecca; Loper, Suzanna – Science Education, 2017
Argumentation, a key epistemic practice in science, engages students in socially constructing knowledge claims using evidence. However, teachers need support in integrating argumentation into classroom instruction. We examined teachers' enactments of an educative science curriculum and their curricular decision making for argumentation. Ten middle…

McNeill, Katherine L.; Marco-Bujosa, Lisa M.; González-Howard, María; Loper, Suzanna – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
Fidelity of implementation (FOI) has received attention in calls for funding and research; however, there are numerous ways of conceptualising and measuring this construct. We argue that this conceptualisation is important for recent reform efforts focused on science practices. Consequently, we explored FOI in the context of the enactment of a…

Marco-Bujosa, Lisa M.; McNeill, Katherine L.; González-Howard, María; Loper, Suzanna – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
Educative curriculum materials provide teachers with authentic opportunities to learn new skills and practices. Yet, research shows teachers use curriculum in different ways for different reasons, and these modifications could undermine the learning goals of the curriculum. Little research, however, has examined the variation in teacher use of…

McNeill, Katherine L.; González-Howard, María; Katsh-Singer, Rebecca; Loper, Suzanna – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
Despite the recent emphasis on science practices, little work has focused on teachers' knowledge of these key learning goals. The development of high quality assessments for teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of science practices, such as argumentation, is important to better assess the needs of teachers and to develop supportive…

Loper, Suzanna; McNeill, Katherine L.; González-Howard, María – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2017
In this article, we describe the development process for designing multimedia educative curriculum materials (MECMs) focused on supporting teachers in argumentation. We also describe results from a study with 46 teachers. We were interested in whether teachers' backgrounds or characteristics of the MECMs impacted MECM use. Overall, 89% of the…

González-Howard, María; McNeill, Katherine L.; Marco-Bujosa, Lisa M.; Proctor, C. Patrick – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
Reform initiatives around the world are reconceptualising science education by stressing student engagement in science practices. Yet, science practices are language-intensive, requiring students to have strong receptive and productive language proficiencies. It is critical to address these rigorous language demands to ensure equitable learning…

Loper, Suzanna; McNeill, Katherine L.; González-Howard, María; Marco-Bujosa, Lisa M.; O'Dwyer, Laura M. – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2019
Recent reform efforts in science education include a focus on science practices. Teachers require support in integrating these practices into instruction. Multimedia educative curriculum materials (MECMs), digital materials explicitly designed to support teacher learning, offer one potential resource for this critical need. Consequently, the…

McNeill, Katherine L.; Katsh-Singer, Rebecca; González-Howard, María; Loper, Suzanna – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
Science education research, reform documents and standards include scientific argumentation as a key learning goal for students. The role of the teacher is essential for implementing argumentation in part because their beliefs about argumentation can impact whether and how this science practice is integrated into their classroom. In this study, we…

Knigh-Bardsley Amanda; McNeill, Katherine L. – Science Education, 2016
Despite being identified as an essential scientific practice, argumentation is rarely integrated into instruction. This could be influenced by teachers' pedagogical design capacity (PDC), which considers teaching as a design activity influenced by both instructional resources (such as tools and professional development (PD)) and teacher resources…

Pearson, P. David; Knight, Amanda M.; Cannady, Matthew A.; Henderson, J. Bryan; McNeill, Katherine L. – Theory Into Practice, 2015
The authors of this article, all of whom have been a part of this effort to assess argumentation in literacy-rich science curriculum, have struggled with our attempts to build 3 argument-related assessments--understanding, critiquing, and constructing arguments about scientific phenomena in both oral and written modes. Loosely affiliated with the…
