Tejaswini Dalvi; Kristen Wendell – Science Education, 2024
An understanding of how sensemaking unfolds when elementary students engage in engineering design tasks is crucial to advancing engineering teaching and learning at K-12 levels. Sensemaking has been widely studied in the context of science as a discipline. In this paper, we seek to contribute to the more nascent efforts to build theory about the…

Jessica Sickler; Michelle Lentzner; Lynn T. Goldsmith; Lauren Brase; Randall Kochevar – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The need for data literacy is an increasingly pressing priority in society, but most of the work in data-centred education has focused on developing skills at the middle school, secondary, and post-secondary levels, with little attention on the potential for engaging elementary-aged students in reasoning with and about data. This paper reports…

Webb, Noreen M.; Franke, Megan L.; Johnson, Nicholas C.; Ing, Marsha; Zimmerman, Joy – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
Educators, researchers, and policy makers recognize that student participation in classroom mathematics conversations, especially explaining one's own thinking and engaging with others' ideas, can promote students' mathematics learning. However, precisely "how" participating in these ways supports learning has not often been examined in…

Watson, Jane; Fitzallen, Noleine – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
Statistical terms are used in everyday language and, at times, used in non-statistical ways. It is often assumed students understand statistical terms because of their common use; however, research into their understanding of specific statistical terms is scant. This report focuses on 58 Year 3 students' responses to the basic question, "What…

Forbes, Cory T.; Cisterna, Dante; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Roy, Ranu – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Learning about heredity is important across the K-12 continuum. However, these ideas may be challenging for students. We examined third-grade students' ideas about heredity in the context of a new, six-week, model-based science unit that uses corn as a model organism to support students' ideas about heredity. We analyzed data collected during…
