I am excited to share our recent publication in the Asia-Pacific Science Education Journal! Discover how teaching science with the Understanding by Design (UbD) model enhances students' overall academic achievement at elementary level. Read more about the transformative impact of UbD on science education.

Science education connections: I’m putting together a document on the status of elementary science and am looking for some specific information, including NGSS adoption vs standards influenced by NGSS vs standards not influenced by NGSS, time devoted to science, popular pedagogical approaches and materials used, etc. My initial searching has led to wildly differing information, stats without citations, etc. Who are the experts in this area? Where fluid I go to find the most current information?

Delighted to have contributed our paper on teacher shortages to this special issue. Using Adam Smith's theory of compensating wage differentials, we analyse how rural teacher living subsidy contributed to teacher attraction and retention in rural Western China. https://lnkd.in/gPZskSB4 Jinqiu Jiang #ruralteacher #teachershortage #adamsmith #differentialcompensation

There’s a lot to cover in a multidimensional science classroom and not a lot of time in one period to do it. Luckily, BrainPOP Science is built to be as multidimensional as your needs and ready to support your middle school science class through any lesson plan–whether you need a 10-minute differentiated activity or a full class’ worth of material. Bring multidimensional science to life with these essential resources: https://brnpop.co/3NxDM6S

In this post, we delve into new research that explores how investigative research projects can foster a positive science identity in students and how Activate Learning's investigation-centered curriculum aligns seamlessly with these insights, providing teachers with an NGSS-aligned framework to develop science identities in their students. 🔍 🔬👉https://hubs.li/Q02tG0FG0

Congratulations to my friend Bénédicte Boissard for her outstanding achievement in winning the Best Poster Presentation ("Promoting Conceptual Change in Science Through Oral Expression: A Quasi-Experimental Study") at European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) SIG 20 & 26 Conference 2024. So proud of her! Her study examines whether oral justification and reformulation by students can foster conceptual change and achievement in middle school science. Employing a quasi-experimental design, students participated in both a control (standard teaching) and an experimental (innovative treatment) condition (Taber, 2019). Prior knowledge and misconceptions about mass, volume, and photosynthesis were assessed using multiple-choice questions. Variables such as self-concept and science interest were considered. Involving 400 students from six teachers across five schools in the 2023-2024 academic year, preliminary findings suggest that the innovative treatment resulted in higher gains in both regular and misconception-targeted assessments.

In this success story, learn why Purdue University was so impressed with the user-friendly interface and instrument setup that we installed a 4th expression® CMS to be used in their undergraduate organic teaching lab! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gz53rSFY
