Sønvisen, Signe A. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
Teaching statistics to generalist students oriented toward a profession, rather than academic merits, may be challenging. As statistics courses also tend to have a low student appeal, tailoring a course toward this type of audience is demanding. Framed within the theory of statistical thinking and literacy, this article shows how an investigative…

Jackylou Sarsale; Dennis Alonzo; Aiza Caseñas; Cherry Zin Oo; Francis Ann Sy; Prose Ivy Yepes – Issues in Educational Research, 2024
Integrating literacy in science and mathematics learning and teaching has been an ongoing endeavour. There are frameworks developed to guide teachers' practices, but little is reported on assessing literacy simultaneously with scientific or mathematical content knowledge. We reviewed the literature on assessing literacy in science and mathematics…

Chan, Kennedy Kam Ho – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) refers to the content-specific knowledge that teachers use to promote students' learning of specific subject matter. PCK comprises multiple knowledge components that interact with each other when enacted in teachers' instructional practices. For many years, researchers lacked a robust methodological approach to…

Caitlin Renea Anderson – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The field of biology is becoming increasingly fragmented, and this fragmentation spills over into the ways our students think and learn about biology. Biology education policy documents stress the importance of teaching biology in an integrated manner and call for the biology education research community to establish a unifying paradigm for the…

Peta J. White; Russell Tytler; Shefali Sharma-Wallis – Teaching Science, 2023
Inquiry skills are universally recognised as being integral to a contemporary science education where students need to understand the nature of scientific practices as well as concepts. Although inquiry learning is a common practice among primary educators, the development and assessment of inquiry skills is far less practised. There is a need for…

Christopher Harris; Joe Krajcik; James Pellegrino – NSTA Press, 2024
Imagine handing out assessments that spark enthusiasm rather than dread. In six easy-to-follow steps, this book empowers science teachers to create tasks that guide students to use their knowledge, not just memorize facts. The NGSA design process transforms assessments into valuable classroom tools that teachers can use to chart how students'…

Amy Adair; Michael Sao Pedro; Janice Gobert; Jessica A. Owens – Grantee Submission, 2023
Developing models and using mathematics are two key practices in internationally recognized science education standards such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS, 2013). In this paper, we used a virtual performance-based formative assessment to capture students' competencies at both "developing" and "evaluating"…

Bortz, Whitney Wall; Gautam, Aakash; Tatar, Deborah; Lipscomb, Kemper – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Integrating computational thinking (CT) and science education is complex, and assessing the resulting learning gains even more so. Arguments that assessment should match the learning (Biggs, "Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education," 21(1), 5-16. 1996; Airasian and Miranda, "Theory into Practice," 41(4), 249-254. 2002;…

Wang, Jianlan; Sneed, Stacey; Wang, Yuanhua – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Inquiry teaching in science education has been widely advocated for decades. It is a critical learning objective in many science teacher preparation programs. Despite its importance, it is not effectively implemented in science classrooms. One of the reasons is the lack of reliable and valid instruments that provide practical definition, concrete…

Jahan, Israt; Davison, Chris – Australian Educational Researcher, 2023
Assessment policy internationally places significant importance on the use of assessment criteria across all subject areas. However, in order to ensure effective use of criteria, it is critical for teachers to develop an in-depth understanding of them. This paper reports on a study of a range of Australian Science teachers' views and uses of…

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…

Michael K. Seery; Hendra Y. Agustian; Frederik V. Christiansen; Bente Gammelgaard; Rie H. Malm – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Laboratory work in chemistry has been extensively researched in the last decade but the gap between research and practice is still broad. This "Perspective" shares 10 guiding principles relating to university laboratory education, drawing on research over the last decade. Written with an audience of practitioners in mind, the…

Sabiha Yeni; Nataša Grgurina; Mara Saeli; Felienne Hermans; Jos Tolboom; Erik Barendsen – Informatics in Education, 2024
There is an increasing interest in the integration of computational thinking (CT) in the K-12 curriculum. By integrating CT into other disciplines, the aim is to equip students with essential skills to navigate domain-specific challenges. This study conducts a systematic review of 108 peer-reviewed scientific papers to analyze in which K-12…

Qiu-ting Huang; Yi-dan Zuo; Zhu Zhu; Liu Yang; Zhong-qun Tian; Guo-kun Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Nitrate is a crucial parameter for assessing water quality, owing to its dual function in ecological systems. These functions can be beneficial or detrimental depending on whether nitrate concentrations are low or high, respectively. The ultraviolet spectrophotometric method (standard as 4500-NO[subscript 3]--B) is a classic method for determining…

Jackson de Verteuil; Philip G. Jessop; Amanda Bongers – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The most important learning objective in green chemistry education is the ability to identify the synthesis, process, or chemical that is least environmentally harmful. Existing metrics fall short for different reasons. Mass-based metrics fail to assess environmental harm, while life cycle assessment (LCA) is much too complex to insert into the…
