Susan R. Wray – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) demand that science educators shift from traditional to NGSS teaching and learning. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the change process of shifting from traditional one-dimensional teaching to NGSS three-dimensional teaching and learning. A survey was sent to all science…

Bapty, Hannah – Science & Education, 2023
It is 157 years since Mendel presented his results on hybridisation in peas to the Brünn Society for Natural Science. The discipline of genetics has dramatically changed since then, with technological advancements revealing multifactorial causation and trait variability. Whilst none of this complexity featured in the discovery of classical…

Caroline Hadley Long – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Science education literature calls for students' participation in science practices through ongoing collective sensemaking built on coherence from the student perspective. However, few studies systematically consider students' point of view and there is little guidance for how teachers can lead the class to co-construct specified learning goals…

Conie Mae Sudaria; Joje Mar P. Sanchez – Science Education International, 2024
The study examined how well Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO)-based formative evaluations might improve students' comprehension in the context of science education, with an emphasis on seismic events like earthquakes. Using a mixed-method research design, the study assesses students' entry understanding, how they advance through…

Dolfing, Ria; Prins, Gjalt T.; Bulte, Astrid M. W.; Pilot, Albert; Vermunt, Jan D. – Science Education, 2021
The aim of this study is to develop more understanding about strategies to support teachers' professional development in curriculum innovations, in which pedagogy and content change simultaneously compared to the conventional curriculum. A pre-existing framework, including strategies for professional development, was adapted, implemented, and…

Moore, A. M.; Fullick, A. – School Science Review, 2022
The "Evolving 5-19 Biology" report (RSB, 2021) presents eight key recommendations and a framework for the development of biology curricula for ages 5-19. The framework proposes organising the curriculum in 23 coherent themes that form learning progression pathways. These pathways build answers to seven 'big questions' related to big…

Muammer Çalik; Antuni Wiyarsi – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
Given little research using meta-analysis for SSI-based interventions and their limitations (e.g. data selection and analysis processes), further study is needed to validate previous findings and provide a broader sense of the effectiveness of SSI-based interventions in promoting scientific literacy. Therefore, this study aimed to…

Gale, Jessica; Koval, Jayma; Alemdar, Meltem; Grossman, Sabrina; Usselman, Marion – School Science and Mathematics, 2022
This study examines shifts in science teachers' (N = 15) beliefs and practices within the context of a research-practice partnership (RPP) that developed and implemented curriculum modules in middle school science classrooms. Interview, document, and observation data gathered over the course of the project indicate that the vast majority of…

Bravo González, Paulina; Reiss, Michael J. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: There is a growing view that 'Big Ideas of science education' are useful for teaching science but there is not much knowledge of how teachers work with them. Purpose: This study explores the conceptualisation and practice of the use of Big Ideas of science education by primary and secondary teachers in Chile. Sample: A total of 63…

Bopardikar, Anushree; Bernstein, Debra; McKenney, Susan – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
School-based citizen-science can be a powerful means to engage youth in environmental education, yet developing robust science curricula around citizen-science activities is tremendously challenging. Prior research provides limited examples and very little guidance for curriculum designers. To support the designers of school-based citizen-science…

Duckworth, Eleanor – LEARNing Landscapes, 2021
In this commentary, summarized from a recent interview, the author reminisces about a career dedicated to critical exploration in the classroom. She discusses the formation of the Moon Group, a group of teachers who met over a period of 25 years to study the behaviour of the moon. Duckworth later describes an exercise in which her students…

Radloff, Jeffrey; Capobianco, Brenda; Weller, Jessica; Rebello, Sanjay; Eichinger, David; Erk, Kendra – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
Recent science reform advocates for the inclusion of engineering design to teach science and represents a shift to so-called three-dimensional (3D) learning. This shift often requires science instructors to adapt their current curriculum to integrate 3D learning. To support this shift, the current study illustrates the collaborative development…

Onur Yalçin; Fatma Sadik – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
This research is a needs analysis study aimed at developing a curriculum based on an interdisciplinary context-based learning approach within the 10th-grade physics course, focusing on the electricity and magnetism unit. The research was designed according to the case study model and data were collected from expert, teacher, and student sample…

Gavin Tierney; Carol Adams; Sarah Ward – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
Project-Based Learning (PjBL) curricula offer unique opportunities for student engagement, yet they do not guarantee an engaging classroom. Furthermore, there has been little scholarly work on PjBL pedagogy that supports student engagement. This qualitative research study explores enactment of a PjBL Advanced Placement Physics 1 curriculum and the…

Slomka, Jessica M. – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2019
Scientific problems of the twenty-first century involve complex research questions that require an interdisciplinary approach. Educational research suggests that overall student achievement is greater in an interdisciplinary science curriculum than in a discipline-specific science curriculum. Regardless, the secondary school science curriculum in…
