Azra Moeed; Stephen Dobson; Sankari Saha – SpringerBriefs in Education, 2024
This book showcases a case study of the development of a generalist early childhood education (ECE) teacher into a confident and competent teacher of science in early childhood with support from a mentor. It argues that with guided mentoring, and later, timely support of a mentor as and when required, ECE teachers can deliver the curriculum, teach…

Böschl, Florian; Forbes, Cory; Lange-Schubert, Kim – Science Education, 2023
Science education reform efforts have emphasized the incorporation of more authentic and meaningful scientific practices into formal learning environments. With this focus on practices, such as scientific modeling, a powerful tool for sense-making and reasoning, comes a need to observe and understand if and how it is actually occurring,…

Amy Adair – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Developing models, using mathematics, and constructing explanations are three practices essential for science inquiry learning according to education reform efforts, such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013). However, students struggle with these intersecting practices, especially when developing and interpreting…

Frey, Regina F.; Brame, Cynthia J.; Fink, Angela; Lemons, Paula P. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Problem solving plays an essential role in all scientific disciplines, and solving problems can reveal essential concepts that underlie those disciplines. Thus, problem solving serves both as a common tool and desired outcome in many science classes. Research on teaching problem solving offers principles for instruction that are guided by learning…

Asim, Sumreen; Ellis, Joshua; Slykhuis, David; Trumble, Jason – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2022
The science teacher education community plays a prominent role in teacher preparation programs. Particularly, science methods courses emphasize modeling instructional strategies to promote inquiry-based practices. Integrating appropriate educational technology to enhance and support classroom practices should be embedded in these courses. The…

Rodriguez, Shelly; Allen, Kelli; Harron, Jason; Qadri, Syeda Ayesha – Science Teacher, 2019
Inquiry-based teaching aims to increase student engagement through the development of the hands-on, minds-on skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, needed for the 21st century (The Partnership for 21st Century Skills 2015). This approach respects the complexities of the learning process, values the knowledge and…

So, Winnie Wing-mui; Kong, Siu-cheung; Wan, Zhihong; Chen, Yu – Curriculum and Teaching, 2018
This study proposed frameworks for designing inquiry approaches with multimedia in science e-textbooks through exploring the extent and features of inquiry approaches with science topics in a digital textbook. Results revealed that the experiential, evidence-based and predict-observe-explain approaches are designed in 70% of the science topics.…

Levinson, Ralph – School Science Review, 2018
The case for socio-scientific inquiry-based learning (SSIBL) based on the EU PARRISE project in schools is presented through three pillars -- citizenship education, socio-scientific issues and inquiry-based science education (IBSE) -- within the overarching context of the EU Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) initiative. Integrating these…

Güngören, Seda Çavus; Hasançebi, Funda Yesildag; Mesci, Günkut – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2020
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of teacher evaluation and self-evaluation on the experience of designing and applying lesson plans according to the 5E inquiry model and pre-service teachers views regarding the 5E inquiry lesson planning and teaching practice. It was designed as the embedded mixed method. Total of 60…

Oh, Phil Seok – Science & Education, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate the features of modeling-based abductive reasoning as a disciplinary practice of inquiry in the domain of earth science. The study was based on an undergraduate course of a university of education, Korea, offered for preservice elementary teachers majoring in science as their specialty. The course…

Lupinacci, John; Happel-Parkins, Alison – Issues in Teacher Education, 2017
The acronym STEM is a ubiquitous term for seemingly anything in--or related to--the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and the current dominant educational STEM discourse in teacher education is often organized around questions of how to integrate math and science into the other content areas or vice versa. The purpose of…

Bevins, Stuart; Price, Gareth – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
Decades of discussion and debate about how science is most effectively taught and learned have resulted in a number of similar but competing inquiry models. These aim to develop students learning of science through approaches which reflect the authenticity of science as practiced by professional scientists while being practical and manageable…

Becker, Sandra; Jacobsen, Michele – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Makerspaces provide a viable option for constructing and sharing knowledge in schools. Inherent in the designing, tinkering, and playing that learners engage in through making are competencies, such as the ability to create, problem solve, and innovate, decreed as critical by education policymakers. This paper summarizes results from a study in a…

Kilbane, James; Clayton, Christine – Learning Professional, 2017
At its core, inquiry--whether conducted with students or teachers--is a process of making observations, asking questions, working with evidence, and interpreting data. Even though research shows well-documented benefits to understanding content, secondary teachers often hesitate to incorporate inquiry for learning. This article presents two…

Wells, John G. – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2016
The PIRPOSAL model is both a conceptual and pedagogical framework intended for use as a pragmatic guide to classroom implementation of Integrative STEM Education. Designerly questioning prompted by a "need to know" serves as the basis for transitioning student designers within and among multiple phases while they progress toward an…
