Berit Bungum; Erik Mogstad – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Integrated STEM approaches are acknowledged as important for making school subjects relevant and engaging for students and are reinforced with the current emphasis on computational thinking. Still, such approaches are rarely realized in schools. This study investigates how the traditional 'grammar of schooling' may prevent realization…

Ormandy, Elisabeth; Schwab, Janella C.; Suiter, Samantha; Green, Nicole; Oakley, Janice; Osenkowski, Pamela; Sumner, Christine – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Animal dissection is practiced to varying degrees around the world and is particularly prevalent in North America throughout all levels of education. However, a growing number of studies suggest that nonanimal teaching methods (NAMs) (e.g., virtual anatomy tools and three-dimensional models) are better for achieving learning goals compared to…

Kaufman, James A. – NASSP Bulletin, 1995
Most schools inadequately protect the health and safety of students involved in science study. Echoing industry standards (and safety records), schools should have safety policies and committees, develop safety orientation programs, make working safely an employment condition, reward good safety performance, inspect and correct, and supply…
