McComas, William F.; Burgin, Stephen R. – Science & Education, 2020
While a mutually agreed-upon definition of STEM education remains elusive, there is no doubt that instructional models and ideas put forward with the STEM label have had a tremendous impact on thinking, debate, and practice in schools worldwide. At issue is the degree to which some or all the STEM disciplines must be taught in a concurrent or…

Crystal Uminski – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The landscape of undergraduate biology education has been shaped by decades of reform efforts calling for instruction to integrate core concepts and scientific skills as a means of helping students become proficient in the discipline. Assessments can be used to make inferences about how these reform efforts have translated into changes in…

Haverly, Christa; Lyle, Angela; Spillane, James P.; Davis, Elizabeth A.; Peurach, Donald J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a reform effort "for states, by states," advances ambitious ideals for elementary science teaching, but the fate of these ideals will depend in part on the engagement of state science coordinators (SSCs). This article explores the responses of SSCs to NGSS in a purposeful sample of 18 US…

Arneson, Jessie B.; Offerdahl, Erika G. – Research in Science Education, 2023
Current initiatives to transform undergraduate STEM education in the United States advocate for the use of multidimensional learning, wherein instruction provides opportunities for students to gain competency with fundamental or cross-disciplinary concepts and practices. To achieve this goal, the discipline-based education research (DBER)…

McGill, Tracy L.; Williams, Leah C.; Mulford, Douglas R.; Blakey, Simon B.; Harris, Robert J.; Kindt, James T.; Lynn, David G.; Marsteller, Patricia A.; McDonald, Frank E.; Powell, Nichole L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This article describes the process of designing a new four-year curriculum at Emory University. Acknowledging the limitations of traditional curricula and pedagogy, the major goals of this reform effort include an emphasis on core ideas and scientific practices rather than content and historical course boundaries in order to convey the excitement,…

Mashood, K. K.; Khosla, Kamakshi; Prasad, Arjun; V., Sasidevan; Ashefas CH, Muhammed; Jose, Charles; Chandrasekharan, Sanjay – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Recent educational policies advocate a radical revision of science curricula and pedagogy, to support interdisciplinary practices, a distinguishing feature of contemporary science. Computational modeling (CM) is a core methodology of interdisciplinary science, as such models allow intertwining of data and theoretical perspectives from multiple…

Brown, Shelley S.; Cruz, Laura; Geist, Melissa; Panter, Nikki; Pelton, Ted; Weathers, Lenly – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2020
The authors present the individual and collective results of a university-wide initiative to institutionalize a hybrid pedagogical approach--Creative Inquiry--across multiple academic disciplines. The program is intended to systematically combine inquiry-guided learning and creative thinking in order to further enhance the depth and breadth of…

Reeves-Wymer, Linda S. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Developmental education is the starting point for many 1st-year college students, especially from underrepresented, low-income, and first-generation populations. One such 1st-year program linked block-scheduled academic skill-development courses with a required interdisciplinary general education science course where instruction was provided…

Trout, Joseph J.; Jacobsen, Tara; Buondonno, Gracie; Weber, Courtney – Physics Education, 2022
This project produced an online astronomy course based on the free, online OpenStax textbook. When this project was conceived, about a year before the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors had no idea that in a short period of time, most college and university classes would be online. This abrupt change in modalities of courses, from traditional,…

Mark, Sheron L.; Tretter, Tom; Eckels, Lacey; Strite, Amy – Action in Teacher Education, 2020
Long-standing calls have been initiated to attend to equity in student achievement in and through science. Science teacher educators can aid these efforts by identifying effective science teaching strategies and supporting K-12 science teachers in integrating those into their practice. Scholars argue for an equity-driven lens to be central in…

Kohn, Kathryn P.; Underwood, Sonia M.; Cooper, Melanie M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Despite the number of university students who take courses in multiple science disciplines, little is known about how they connect concepts between disciplines. Energy is a concept that underlies all scientific phenomena and, as such, provides an appropriate context in which to investigate student connections and misconnections across disciplines.…

Faulconer, E. K.; Wood, B.; Griffith, J. C. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
The "Next Generation Science Standards" and other educational reforms support the formation of deep connections across the STEM disciplines. Integrated STEM is considered as a best practice by the educational communities of the disparate disciplines. However, the integration of non-STEM disciplines is understudied and generally limited…

Understanding Science and Language Connections: New Approaches to Assessment with Bilingual Learners
Buxton, Cory; Harman, Ruth; Cardozo-Gaibisso, Lourdes; Jiang, Lei; Bui, Khanh; Allexsaht-Snider, Martha – Research in Science Education, 2019
We report on the use of bilingual constructed response science assessments in the context of a research and development partnership with secondary school science teachers. Given the power that assessments have in today's education systems, our project provided a series of workshops for teachers where they explored students' emergent…

Foster, Brian L., Ed.; Graham, Steven W., Ed.; Donaldson, Joe F., Ed. – IAP - Information Age Publishing, Inc., 2021
The rapid change that higher education is undergoing is impacting all of the core mission elements: teaching and learning, research, service, and engagement with the external world (e.g., community engagement and health care delivery). Navigating this environment requires understanding of the underlying dynamics, with particular attention to how…

Harrison, Lisa M., Ed.; Hurd, Ellis, Ed.; Brinegar, Kathleen, Ed. – Routledge Research in Education, 2020
Originally published as a special issue of the "Middle School Journal," this book presents integrative curriculum as a foundational element of the middle school. By addressing the current gap in literature on curriculum integration in the middle grades, this text explores how learning can be organized around authentic concepts or…
