Fraser, Sharon P.; Beswick, Kim; Penson, Margaret; Seen, Andrew; Whannell, Robert – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2019
This paper describes a collaborative project involving mathematicians, scientists and educators at an Australian university where an innovative initial teacher education (ITE) degree in mathematics/science was developed. The theoretical frameworks of identity theory and academic brokerage and their use in understanding the challenges associated…

Tytler, Russell; Mulligan, Joanne; Prain, Vaughan; White, Peta; Xu, Lihua; Kirk, Melinda; Nielsen, Christopher; Speldewinde, Christopher – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Against a backdrop of advocacy for interdisciplinary STEM curricula, this paper explores the design principles underpinning a three-year longitudinal research project that develops and evaluates interdisciplinary mathematics and science learning sequences involving multiple teachers and student cohorts across the primary school years. The research…

Bililign, Solomon – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2019
Increasing diversity in the geosciences has remained a challenge, despite large investments made by federal agencies in minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and historically black universities and colleges (HBCUs). With increasing challenges associated with climate and environmental change and severe and frequent natural disasters that…

Hansen, Alexandria Killian; Iveland, Ashley; Harlow, Danielle Boyd; Dwyer, Hilary; Franklin, Diana – Science and Children, 2015
As science teachers continue preparing for implementation of the "Next Generation Science Standards," one recommendation is to use computer programming as a promising context to efficiently integrate science and engineering. In this article, a interdisciplinary team of educational researchers and computer scientists describe how to use…

Seethaler, Sherry; Czworkowski, John; Remmel, Jeffrey; Sawrey, Barbara A.; Souviney, Randall – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2013
In traditional preservice teacher education programs, education courses are "add-ons" to science content courses. As a result, future teachers are taught the importance of authentic inquiry and constructivism, but they may never learn science in the way they are expected to teach it. University of California San Diego's California Teach…

Senchina, David S. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2010
Cross-curricular programming offers unique opportunities to connect non-majors with science. In this article, the author describes personal experiences related to a novel initiative uniting science, civics, and citizenship that may serve as a model for course and program development at other colleges. In this model, students from multiple majors…

Kerby, Holly Walter; Cantor, Joanne; Weiland, Marcia; Babiarz, Christopher; Kerby, Anne W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2010
Demonstration shows are a popular form of chemical education outreach used to increase interest, engagement, and appreciation of chemistry. Although practitioners often include instructional elements, evaluation has been limited to children's attitudes toward science rather than their understanding of the underlying concepts presented. In 2006, we…

Bartlett, Cheryl; Marshall, Murdena; Marshall, Albert – Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2012
This is a process article for weaving indigenous and mainstream knowledges within science educational curricula and other science arenas, assuming participants include recognized holders of traditional ecological knowledge (we prefer "Indigenous Knowledge" or "Traditional Knowledge") and others with expertise in mainstream…

Cargill, Margaret; O'Connor, Patrick; Li, Yongyan – English for Specific Purposes, 2012
As is the worldwide trend, scientists in China face strong and increasing pressure to publish their research in international peer-reviewed journals written in English. There is an acute need for graduate students to develop the required language skills alongside their scientific expertise, in spite of the distinct division currently existing…

Fang, Zhihui; Lamme, Linda; Pringle, Rose; Patrick, Jennifer; Sanders, Jennifer; Zmach, Courtney; Charbonnet, Sara; Henkel, Melissa – International Journal of Science Education, 2008
Recent calls for border crossing between reading and science have heightened the need to support science teachers in integrating reading into science and to verify the robustness of this approach in the context of inquiry-based science. In this paper, we share what we did, found, and learned in a collaborative project in which a team of…

Ringler, Dick, Ed. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1984
This guide is intended as a basic primer for college and university teachers and as a practical resource for generating courses about nuclear issues. It suggests how topics already being addressed can be integrated to form courses and how courses on a single campus can be pooled to form programs. (JN)
