Masters, Heidi; Shrake, Tyler – Science and Children, 2019
When it snows, children are permitted to play outside during recess, which causes them to experience a variety of problems with their mittens or gloves. To align instruction with a problem student's experience in every day life, the authors developed and administered a short survey to second graders in an after school program. The authors found…

Nazar, Christina Restrepo – ProQuest LLC, 2018
In this study, I conducted three separate, but interrelated studies that examine the ways preservice teachers (PSTs) generatively developed youth-centered, equity-oriented pedagogical imaginaries in their methods courses and how they enacted these practice(s) in their field experiences. The purpose of this dissertation is to understand how and in…

Saavedra, Juan E.; Näslund-Hadley, Emma; Alfonso, Mariana – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2019
We present results from the first randomized experiment of a remedial inquiry-based science education program for low-performing elementary students in a developing country. Among third-grade students in 48 low-income public elementary schools in Metropolitan Lima who score in the bottom 50% of their school baseline science distribution, half are…

Masters, Heidi; Daggett, Kayden; Fonk, Amanda; Geiser, Anna; Hund, Jennifer; Kohlbeck, Kierra; Peterson, Amanda; Smith, Jackson; Zander, Zachary; Zaspel, Tyler – Science and Children, 2019
Severe flooding was prevalent within the authors' region at the beginning of the school year. Many homes and fields were affected by the amount of rain that fell within a short period of time over multiple days. Their students were concerned about the impact this natural phenomena was having on their local community. Natural phenomena can provide…

Cartwright, T. J.; Hallar, B. – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
In this study, we present the long-term influence of an after school science practicum associated with an elementary science methods course. The practicum or field experience could be considered a community-based service learning programme as it is situated both within and for the community. Study participants included eight third- and fifth-grade…

Ryu, Suna; Han, Yuhwha; Paik, Seoung-Hey – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
The present study explores how engaging in modeling practice, along with argumentation, leverages students' epistemic and conceptual understanding in an afterschool science/math class of 16 tenth graders. The study also explores how students used mobile Internet phones (smart phones) productively to support modeling practices. As the modeling…
