Rutt, Alexis A.; Mumba, Frackson – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Next Generation Science Standards and increasing linguistic diversity of students in United States science classrooms require language-focused science instruction for which many secondary science teachers are not prepared. To date, minimal research has addressed how to best support secondary science pre-service teachers (PSTs) in teaching in…

Knowledge of scientific inquiry (SI) is considered essential to the development of an individual's Scientific Literacy (SL) and therefore, SI is included in many international science education reform documents. Two previous large scale international studies assessed the SI understandings of students entering middle school and secondary students…

Bo Chen; Huinan Liu; Yufeng Xu; Qi Yang; Hui Wu; Ziyin Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The diversity of scientific methods has received widespread recognition in recent years. The purpose of this review is to analyze the changes in the representation of laboratory work in Chinese senior high school chemistry textbooks in the past 30 years from the perspective of the diversity of scientific methods. This study was based on Brandon's…

Natural science itself is an experimental science, so practice and experimentation are important and are typical teaching methods of this subject. To make practice and experiment play the highest strengths in teaching and developing the ability to learn about nature - one of the three specific competencies of natural science, the association of…

Student, Teacher, and Scientist Views of the Scientific Enterprise: An Epistemic Network Re-Analysis
Peters-Burton, Erin E.; Dagher, Zoubeida R.; Erduran, Sibel – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
There is substantial research in science education about students', teachers', and scientists' views of nature of science (NOS). Many studies have used NOS frameworks that focus on particular ideas such as tentativeness of scientific knowledge and cultural embeddedness of science. In this paper, we investigate NOS from the perspective of the…

Ayuso Fernández, Gabriel Enrique; López-Banet, Luisa; Ruiz-Vidal, Alicia – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
One of the goals of secondary science education is to help students develop skills related to scientific inquiry. However, the results of previous studies have shown that students have difficulties in identifying problems, formulating hypotheses, drawing conclusions, and designing experiments. The main objective of this contribution is to indicate…

Kontomaris, S. V.; Malamou, A. – Physics Education, 2021
A significant approach that should be followed by physics teachers at the secondary education level in order to enhance students' understanding is to highlight the generality of the mathematical procedures that describe different physical phenomena. In this paper, the common procedure that is used to calculate the duration of various physical…

Okan, Beyza; Kaya, Ebru – Science & Education, 2023
Reconceptualized Family Resemblance Approach to Nature of Science (RFN) explains science as a cognitive, epistemic, and social institutional system. The aim of this study is to examine the inclusion of Nature of Science (NOS) in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Turkish middle school science textbooks. The "content," "activity,"…

Erduran, Sibel; Wooding, Stephen J. – School Science Review, 2021
Many school practical activities focus on scientific methods such as hypothesis testing. Yet science is more than hypothesis testing: it includes other methods. This article presents a framework called 'Brandon's Matrix' that illustrates the diversity of scientific methods. The matrix has been used as part of Project Calibrate based at the…

Werner, Sonja; Förtsch, Christian; Boone, William; von Kotzebue, Lena; Neuhaus, Birgit J. – Research in Science Education, 2019
To obtain a general understanding of science, model use as part of National Education Standards is important for instruction. Model use can be characterized by three aspects: (1) the characteristics of the model, (2) the integration of the model into instruction, and (3) the use of models to foster scientific reasoning. However, there were no…

Ioannidou, Olga; Finch, Katy; Erduran, Sibel – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2022
A significant issue in the teaching, learning and summative assessment of practical science is that the underpinning model of scientific methods is based on a fairly simplistic and linear account that does not represent how scientists actually do practical work. In this paper, we examine how science teachers in England and Wales view scientific…

Martin, Nicole D. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Recent science education reform has emphasized teaching science as practice -- striving to engage students in the authentic work of scientists so they gain deeper understanding of scientific knowledge and how that knowledge is established. To make this vision of science education a reality in classrooms, teachers must be well prepared to teach…
