Britney L. Jones – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Science education policies and standards have called for educators to teach students about the Nature of Science (NOS) and engage them in Culturally Relevant Science Teaching (CRST), which requires critical shifts away from traditional science teaching. As such, teachers are being asked to possess or take up conceptions of science that challenge…

Jin, Hui; Anderson, Charles W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
This article reports on our work of developing a learning progression focusing on K-12 students' performances of using energy concept in their accounts of carbon-transforming processes in socio-ecological systems. Carbon-transforming processes--the ecological carbon cycle and the combustion of biomass and fossil fuels--provide all of the energy…

Chiang-Soong, Betty; Yager, Robert E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
From an analysis of 11 textbooks for science-technology-society (STS) subjects, it was found that less than 7% of the narrative space is devoted to STS topics, with a range of 11.5% to 0.5%. The coverage of STS topics decreases as grade level increases. (PR)

Harding, Patricia A.; Vining, Leo C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1997
Discusses the notion that scientific knowledge is not dependable and that knowledge is no longer valued as a part of science. Points out that this has led to approaches that aim to teach scientific methods or problem-solving skills rather than scientific knowledge. Contains 19 references. (DDR)

Hughes, Gwyneth – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000
Demonstrates how socioscientific material is marginalized through the structures and language of syllabus texts and through classroom practices using the example of Salters' Advanced Chemistry from the United Kingdom. Concludes that socioscientific content is gendered through association with social concerns and epistemological uncertainty, and…
