T. J. McKenna – Teachers College Press, 2025
In "Making Sense of Sensemaking," readers will learn how to navigate the journey from traditional teaching to a dynamic, student-centered approach that emphasizes understanding over rote learning. Grounded in the latest educational research and aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), this book provides practical…

Jessie Webb – ProQuest LLC, 2023
In 2013, a new set of science standards was introduced for K-12 science education, called the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which focused on three dimensions of science learning that work together: disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. These standards are novel in their emphasis on…

Tina Vo; Rebekah Hammack; Paul Gannon; Nicholas Lux; Blake Wiehe; Miracle Moonga; Brock LaMeres – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
As we prepare teachers to provide students with opportunities within STEM education, authentic experiences should guide the instruction. Unfortunately, due to the novel integration of engineering into national reform documents, there is a dearth of documentation on elementary preservice teachers' engineering ideas as they align with student goals…

Roehrig, Gillian H.; Dare, Emily A.; Ring-Whalen, Elizabeth; Wieselmann, Jeanna R. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Few tools or rubrics exist to assess the quality of integrated STEM curricula, and existing tools focus on checklists of characteristics of integrated STEM. While such instruments provide important information about the presence and quality of certain curricular components, they do not assess the level and nature of integration of the…

Morris, Julia; Slater, Eileen; Fitzgerald, Michael T.; Lummis, Geoffrey W.; van Etten, Eddie – Research in Science Education, 2021
In order to supply a future Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, Australia needs to engage its most capable and gifted secondary students in quality STEM learning, either within school or through extra-curricular opportunities, so that they will continue into STEM-based tertiary degrees. High-achieving students in…

Wu, X. Ben; Sandoval, Carolyn; Knight, Stephanie; Jaime, Xavier; Macik, Maria; Schielack, Jane F. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Continuous calls for reform in science education emphasize the need to provide science experiences in lower-division courses to improve the retention of STEM majors and to develop science literacy and STEM skills for all students. Open or authentic inquiry and undergraduate research are effective science experiences leading to multiple…

Williams, Tory; Krikorian, Jacqueline; Singer, Jonathan; Rakes, Christopher; Ross, Julia – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2019
The Next Generation Science Standards call for the integration of engineering into mainstream science education, yet challenges arise for teachers unfamiliar with engineering-based pedagogy or concepts. The INSPIRES Hemodialysis educative curriculum may address such challenges by explicitly integrating all areas of STEM in an authentic learning…

Starr, Christine R.; Hunter, Lisa; Dunkin, Robin; Honig, Susanna; Palomino, Rafael; Leaper, Campbell – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Our short-term longitudinal study explored undergraduate students' experiences with performing authentic science practices in the classroom in relation to their science achievement and course grades. In addition, classroom experiences (felt recognition as a scientist and perceived classroom climate) and changes over a 10-week academic term in STEM…
