Hanuscin, Deborah L.; Zangori, Laura – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2016
Just as the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSSs) call for change in what students learn and how they are taught, teacher education programs must reconsider courses and curriculum in order to prepare teacher candidates to understand and implement new standards. In this study, we examine the development of prospective elementary…
