Direct linkKapon, Shulamit – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
Research experience is increasingly considered an important component of science education at the secondary school and undergraduate levels. This paper presents a case study of students learning in a unique apprenticeship model in which students are engaged in long-term (18 month) open-ended research projects in physics that are done at the…

Ebenezer, Jazlin; Kaya, Osman Nafiz; Ebenezer, Devairakkam Luke – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
The purpose of this mixed-method study was to investigate the changes in high school students' perceptions of fluency with innovative technologies (IT) and the levels of students' scientific inquiry abilities as a result of engaging students in long-term scientific research projects focusing on community-based environmental issues. Over a span of…

Zimmerman, Heather Toomey; McClain, Lucy R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
This informal learning research project examined how guided participation processes support the use of cultural tools (such as scientific equipment) during a nature walk at one nature center. This paper analyzed family interactions outdoors using microethnographic methods. An informal learning framework based on guided participation and cultural…

Project Design Factors That Affect Student Perceptions of the Success of a Science Research Project.
Peer reviewedKimbrough, Doris R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1995
Presents a detailed assessment of a summer national Science Foundation Young Scholars Program for ninth and 10th graders. Results indicate that students perceive program success (emphasis on project success) differently from teachers and program organizers. Identified six variables that must be incorporated appropriately into the design of a…
