Saeed Salimpour; Michael T. Fitzgerald – Science & Education, 2024
Modern astronomy as a field of inquiry may be shaped by what we consider the "scientific" ways of knowing. However, the history of astronomy as a human endeavour dates back millennia before the "modern" notions of "science". This long history means that astronomy is, at its core, built on a rich cultural diversity and…

Chakrin, Jihyun; Campbell, Todd – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Background: In the context of recent research in science education and continued struggles to understand how best to support science teachers, epistemological frames, made up of sets of epistemological resources teachers activate, have emerged as an important focus of research. However, at the time of this writing no research was available to…

Grimes, Zachary T.; Boury, Nancy M.; Wasendorf, Chloe; McCombs, Audrey L.; Reid, Joshua W.; James, Olena; Couch, Brock; Armstrong, Patrick I.; Seipelt-Thiemann, Rebecca L. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Genetics plays an increasing role in modern life as evidenced by the development of revolutionary techniques such as CRISPR-based genome editing and the rise of personalized genome services. However, genetics is difficult to learn; known issues include its abstract nature, different scales, and technical language. Pedigree analysis is a…

Barth-Cohen, Lauren A.; Swanson, Hillary; Arnell, Jared – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Within physics education research (PER), resource theory has proven to be a useful framework for investigating knowledge and learning and informing instructional design. To analyze learning over longer timescales and across cases, PER scholars must first identify and describe the resources activated within and across physics contexts and domains.…

David Argudo; Talise Oh – European Journal of Physics Education, 2022
When deriving the equation describing the transverse motion of a one-dimensional vibrating elastic string, introductory physics textbooks often assume constant tension and/or small amplitude vibrations. However, these simplifying assumptions are not only unnecessary, but they overlook the elastic nature of the tension and yield an inconsistent…

Halil Tu¨may – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry is a systems science that deals with complex-dynamic systems and systems thinking is an essential aspect of chemical practices. Thus, a systems thinking approach is needed in chemistry education for meaningful learning of the subject matter. Despite this necessity, systems thinking has not received sufficient attention in chemistry…

Ravishankar Chatta Subramaniam; Nikhil Borse; Amir Bralin; Jason W. Morphew; Carina M. Rebello; N. Sanjay Rebello – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Reform documents advocate for innovative pedagogical strategies to enhance student learning. A key innovation is the integration of science and engineering practices through engineering design (ED)-based physics laboratory tasks, where students tackle engineering design problems by applying physics principles. While this approach has its benefits,…

Crawford, Kristen M. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The release of NGSS in 2013 brought forth uncertainty among K-12 educators on how to translate these standards into practical science lessons (Harris et al., 2017). One important instructional change that teachers still need assistance with is supporting sensemaking. To guide students in the process of sensemaking, teachers must ask questions that…

Shasha Chen; Shaohui Chi; Zuhao Wang – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Interdisciplinary thinking is critical for equipping students to apply scientific knowledge and tackle societal challenges across various disciplines, which has been recognized as a key objective of twenty-first century science education. However, research on effective interdisciplinary assessment in secondary school science education is still…

Heather MacDonald; Veronic Bezaire – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Information literacy skills are an important part of research skills for undergraduate science students. This case study presents a novel approach to developing these types of research skills. By deconstructing the research process into separate steps, explicitly defining, and practicing the skills involved, students can progressively develop…

Ackerson, Bruce J. – Physics Teacher, 2019
Electromagnetic induction, represented by either Faraday's law or the Lorentz force law, produces many paradoxes requiring careful examination and application of these laws. The paradoxical example of induction, presented herein, arose in a class and is resolved within the framework of special relativity.

Muñoz-Campos, Verónica; Franco-Mariscal, Antonio-Joaquín; Blanco-López, Ángel – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This study concerns a framework for designing Teaching-Learning Sequences that aims to integrate the implementation of scientific practices in the context of daily problems. Said framework consists of three stages (formulation of the design principles, instructional design and design of the learning activities). It is based on four design…

Johnson, Heather Lynn; Dunlap, Joanna C.; Verma, Geeta; McClintock, Evan; DeBay, Dennis J.; Bourdeaux, Brandy – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2019
In this article, we share design guidelines for the development and use of online, video-based "teaching playgrounds," which provide opportunities for prospective teachers to engage in professional noticing of teaching practices. Through teaching playgrounds, we provide an instantiation of the Presence+Experience framework, which…

Tecson-Mendoza, Evelyn Mae – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Mentoring to many is the informal highly unstructured teaching, advising, and nurturing which we receive from various individuals during our school years and professional lives and then give back to our students and more junior colleagues. However, with the advances in science and technology, the increasing competitiveness in the workplace, fast…
