Direct linkHelen L. Fitzmaurice; Emily V. Reigh; Joseph D. Senn – Connected Science Learning, 2024
Many articles in this issue consider how school-community partnerships are sustained over time. We ask a related but distinct question: What models of school-community partnerships sustain a teacher as they engage with different partners over their teaching career? For partnerships to feel meaningful to students, they must address issues with…

Camillia Matuk; Kevin W. McElhaney; Jennifer King Chen; Jonathan Lim-Breitbart; Douglas Kirkpatrick; Marcia C. Linn – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2016
Science inquiry challenges students to synthesize various ideas about complex phenomena into coherent explanations. It also challenges teachers, who must guide their diverse students' developing understanding during student-paced investigations. We describe the Idea Manager, a suite of web-based, curriculum-integrated tools that (a) guides…

What Works Clearinghouse, 2021
Inquiry-based science interventions aim to improve students' science proficiency by helping them understand scientific processes. In these interventions, students conduct hands-on investigations of science concepts and everyday phenomena, construct explanations for what they observe, consider alternative explanations, and communicate and justify…

Thomas, Kelli, Ed.; Huffman, Douglas, Ed. – IGI Global, 2020
The addition of the arts to STEM education, now known as STEAM, adds a new dimension to problem-solving within those fields, offering students tools such as imagination and resourcefulness to incorporate into their designs. However, the shift from STEM to STEAM has changed what it means for students to learn within and across these disciplines.…

McLaughlin, Cheryl A.; Broo, Jennifer; MacFadden, Bruce J.; Moran, Sean – Journal of Biological Education, 2016
One major emphasis of reform initiatives in science education is the importance of extended inquiry experiences for students through authentic collaborations with scientists. As such, unique partnerships have started to emerge between science and education in an ongoing effort to capture the interest and imaginations of students as they make sense…

Cutucache, Christine E.; Leas, Heather D.; Grandgenett, Neal F.; Nelson, Kari L.; Rodie, Steven; Shuster, Robert; Schaben, Chris; Tapprich, William E. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2017
The overall purpose of this multifocused study was to explore how participation in genuine mentored scientific research experiences impacts in-service science teachers and the knowledge and skills needed for their own science teaching. The research experiences resulted from a partnership between the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the Omaha…

Felix, Allison; Harris, John – Technology Teacher, 2010
The topic of alternative energy is not only relevant to a multitude of issues today, it is also an effective vehicle for developing instruction that applies across a variety of content disciplines and academic standards. Since many of the issues associated with alternative energy are open-ended, alternative energy also lends itself to…
