Assessing Instructional Quality in Science in the Era of Ambitious Reforms: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tekkumru-Kisa, Miray; Preston, Courtney; Kisa, Zahid; Oz, Elif; Morgan, Jennifer – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Recent instructional reforms in science education bring a new vision that aims to move science teaching away from a focus on discrete facts covered at a superficial level to a focus on a smaller number of disciplinary core ideas that can be explored in depth. The success of these reforms depends on the instructional quality in science classrooms.…

Beyond the Consensus View: Whole Science
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Allchin, Douglas – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2017
The "consensus view" on the nature of science (NOS) is now outmoded. To help frame an enduring alternative, one should attend first to the "why" of NOS education. Functional, or civic, scientific literacy is foundational. Acknowledging a need for consumers and citizens to assess the reliability of scientific claims in personal…

Honey, Margaret A., Ed.; Hilton, Margaret, Ed. – National Academies Press, 2011
At a time when scientific and technological competence is vital to the nation's future, the weak performance of U.S. students in science reflects the uneven quality of current science education. Although young children come to school with innate curiosity and intuitive ideas about the world around them, science classes rarely tap this potential.…

The Status of Secondary Science Education in the United States: Factors That Predict Practice
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Smith, Adrienne A.; Banilower, Eric R.; Nelson, Michele M.; Smith, P. Sean – Horizon Research, Inc., 2013
New K-12 science education standards emphasize teaching and learning grounded in authentic scientific practices. A first step toward supporting teachers' adoption of scientific practice-based pedagogies is to develop a clear picture of how teachers are currently teaching science, and what factors predict their pedagogical choices. A recently…
