This article examines Mary Budd Rowe’s groundbreaking and far-reaching contributions to science education. Rowe is best known
for her research on wait-time: the idea that teachers can improve the quality and length of classroom discussions by waiting
at least 3 s before and after student responses. Her wait-time research grew from and helped inform her staunch advocacy of
science education as inquiry; Rowe saw wonder and excitement as central to the teaching and learning of science. She spent
much of her professional life designing professional development experiences and innovative curriculum materials to help teachers,
particularly elementary school teachers, enact inquiry in their classrooms.

Middle grades science teachers need professional support in practice as they implement new inquiry-based science. Professional
development schools can provide this bottom-up support through connecting preservice and inservice teacher education programs
in classroom practice. In this study, coteaching arrangements with secondary science education majors provided additional
teachers in the classroom to support a materials-rich curriculum and the needed associated pedagogies. Science education majors
provided needed assistance in troubleshooting difficulties with the new curriculum. They also provided needed content knowledge
to support inquiry, along with creating moments and space for teachers to reflect on inquiry practice. Ongoing assistance
by preservice teachers allowed inservice teachers to progress from logistical concerns in implementing kit curriculum to concerns
regarding student learning and the supporting professional development.

This survey study explored high school science teachers’ challenges and needs specific to their growing English language learning
(ELL) student population. Thirty-three science teachers from 6 English as a Second language (ESL)-center high schools in central
Virginia participated in the survey. Issues surveyed were (a) strategies used by science teachers to accommodate ELL students’
special needs, (b) challenges they experienced, and (c) support and training necessary for effective ELL instruction. Results
suggest that language barriers as well as ELL students’ lack of science foundational knowledge challenged teachers most. Teachers
perceived that appropriate instructional materials and pedagogical training was most needed. The findings have implications
for science teacher preservice and inservice education in regard to working with language minority students.

This empirical paper considers the different purposes for which teachers use examples in elementary mathematics teaching,
and how well the actual examples used fit these intended purposes. For this study, 24 mathematics lessons taught by prospective
elementary school teachers were videotaped. In the spirit of grounded theory, the purpose of the analysis of these lessons
was to discover, and to construct theories around, the ways that these novice teachers could be seen to draw upon their mathematics
teaching knowledge-base in their lesson preparation and in their observed classroom instruction. A highly-pervasive dimension
of the findings was these teachers’ choice and use of examples. Four categories of uses of examples are identified and exemplified:
these are related to different kinds of teacher awareness.

We examine teachers’ classroom activities with the spreadsheet, focusing especially on episodes marked by improvisation and
uncertainty. The framework is based on Saxe’s cultural approach to cognitive development. The study considers two teachers,
one positively disposed towards classroom use of technology, and the other not, both of them experienced and in a context
in which spreadsheet use was compulsory: a new curriculum in France for upper secondary non-scientific classes. The paper
presents and contrasts the two teachers in view of Saxe’s parameters, and analyzes their activity in two similar lessons.
Goals emerging in these lessons show how teachers deal with instrumented techniques and the milieu under the influence of
cultural representations. The conclusion examines the contribution that the approach and the findings can bring to understanding
technology integration in other contexts, especially teacher education.

A lack of congruency between the teaching and learning of science and the student’s personal worlds has long been recognised
by the international science education community as an issue deserving space in the research agenda. The purpose of this study
was to explore the diversity of student reactions when subcultures such as family, community peers, and personal worldviews
are considered along side the subculture of school science. Two-hundred and fifty students from urban and provincial schools
in the northeastern region of Colombia (South America) participated. From this group, 18 students were interviewed. It was
observed that students adopt a compartmentalisation of knowledge that is evident as both an avoiding strategy in the classroom
and as a mechanism to differentiate between the natural world of their everyday situations and the one portrayed by a Westernised
science instruction in the classroom. The findings reflect how multiple worldviews correlate with student frameworks as implanted
by school science.

Developing Science Pedagogical Content Knowledge Through Mentoring Elementary Teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Ken Appleton 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2008,19(6):523-545
Elementary teachers are typically hesitant to teach science. While a limited knowledge of science content is a reason for
this, limited science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has emerged as another reason in recent research. This study constitutes
two case studies of a professional development program for elementary teachers involving mentoring by a university professor.
The mentor took the role of a critical friend in joint planning and teaching of science. The study examines the nature of
the mentoring relationship and reports the type of teacher learning that occurred, with a particular focus on the teachers’
development of science PCK.

This paper investigates the construction of systems of competence in two middle school mathematics classrooms. Drawing on
analyses of discourse from videotaped classroom sessions, this paper documents the ways that agency and accountability were distributed in the classrooms through interactions between the teachers and students as they worked on mathematical
content. In doing so, we problematize the assumption that competencies are simply attributes of individuals that can be externally
defined. Instead, we propose a concept of individual competence as an attribute of a person's participation in an activity
system such as a classroom. In this perspective, what counts as “competent” gets constructed in particular classrooms, and
can therefore look very different from setting to setting. The implications of the ways that competence can be defined are
discussed in terms of future research and equitable learning outcomes.

In this article, we describe the results of a study of chemistry high school teachers’ beliefs (N = 7) of the chemistry curriculum and their roles, their beliefs on the teacher as developer of materials, and their beliefs
about professional development. Teachers’ beliefs influence the implementation of a curriculum. We view the use of a new curriculum
as a learning process, which should start at teachers’ prior knowledge and beliefs. The results reveal that it is possible
to develop a new curriculum in which teachers’ beliefs are taken as a starting point. Promising approaches to prepare teachers
for a new curriculum is to let them (co)develop and use curriculum materials: It creates ownership, and strengthens and develops
teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).

This study describes how teachers use their personal knowledge of a school district and their students to cope with teaching
under stressful situations associated with economic, social, and institutional factors. The 3 teachers dealt with these issues
in unique ways, focusing on helping students to overcome negative perceptions, value the importance of an education, and build
strong relationships. A model of multicultural science professional development is proposed that complements the strengths
that these teachers have. A task for science educators working with teachers and administration in schools and districts that
are “critically low performing” is to support everyone in implementing pedagogical methods aimed at empowerment, social justice,
and high achievement for all students.

Lifelong science literacy begins with attitudes and interests established early in childhood. The use of trade books (i.e.,
a literary work intended for sale to the general public) in North American school classrooms to support the development of
science literacy invites an examination of the quality of science content disseminated to students. A total of 116 trade books
were examined to: (a) determine the degree to which science trade books complement expected science knowledge outcomes outlined
in school curricula, and (b) compare trade book content to the goals of scientific literacy. Analysis across four science
topics, Dinosaurs, Space, Inheritance, and Growth and Life Properties, revealed that this body of children’s literature is
inconsistent in its coverage of curricular goals and elements of scientific literacy. Because trade books represent children’s
first exposure to science, these shortcomings should be addressed if these books are to be maximally effective in promoting
science literacy. Implications for using trade books in the classroom are discussed.

Increasing numbers of Spanish-speaking preschool children require attention to improve the likelihood of success in school.
This study, part of a larger 2-year ethnographic study of a Head Start classroom, elaborates the role of teachers’ interactions
with students who were learning English. Using an interactional ethnography approach, the authors focus on the social nature
of these interactions. The study illuminates the kinds of teacher interactions with students that support and hinder the students’
language learning. It reinforces the importance of student engagement in social interactions with teachers and with English
other than codes of obedience and authority. Finally, it recommends actions teachers can take to provide optimal circumstances
for English learning interactions for students.

In this article, we concentrate upon the lifeworld resources that comprise the funds of knowledge for children living in a
rural community in the southeastern United States. Through interview conversations with a group of third grade children, we
identified three lifeworld resources—interdependence, garbage dumping, and feral dogs—that rural teachers might draw on to
generate curriculum that is connected to the community in which they teach. Through such connections rural teachers may increase
the likelihood that they will remain teaching in rural schools.

More than a conversation: using cogenerative dialogues in the professional development of high school chemistry teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sonya N. Martin Kathryn Scantlebury 《Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability》2009,21(2):119-136
This paper focuses on content-based and pedagogical instructors’ use of cogenerative dialogues to improve instructional practice
and to evaluate program effectiveness in a professional development program for high school chemistry teachers. We share our
research findings from using cogenerative dialogues as an evaluative tool for general assessment of various program-related
issues. We discuss how engaging students in cogenerative dialogues improved teaching and learning in chemistry and chemistry
education courses. This research provides insights and direction for improving content-based professional development programs
for science teachers and the learning experiences of high school science students. Cogenerative dialogue has the potential
to expand evaluation methodologies that will position participants more centrally in not only the collection of data, but
also the analysis of these data to catalyze transformative practices in educational programs.

Preservice teachers in a K–8 science methods course used guided video reflection to examine their interactions with children
during science teaching. This inquiry approach helped preservice teachers identify and respond to gaps between their beliefs
and intentions about teaching all children and their enactment of those beliefs. The experience of teaching a science lesson
and then viewing it multiple times through a critical framework provided an opportunity for preservice teachers to recognize
hidden assumptions, unexamined behaviors, and the unintentional meanings they may have conveyed to children. This encouraged
them to think more critically about their roles as teachers in creating spaces where all children have access to quality science
learning experiences.

Where practice and theory intersect in the chemistry classroom: using cogenerative dialogue to identify the critical point in science education 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Sonya Martin 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2006,1(4):693-720
This paper argues for an inclusive model of science education practice that attempts to facilitate a relationship between
“science and all” by paying particular attention to the development of the relationship between the teacher, students and
science. This model hinges on the implementation of cogenerative dialogues between students and teachers. Cogenerative dialogues
are a form of structured discourse in which teachers and students engage in a collaborative effort to help identify and implement
positive changes in classroom teaching and learning practices. A primary goal of this paper is to introduce a methodological
and theoretical framework for conducting cogenerative dialogue that is accessible to classroom teachers and their students.
I propose that researchers must learn to disseminate their findings to teachers in ways that are practical, in that they provide
teachers with information needed to make concrete connections between the research and their teaching, while continuing to
make available the theories that support their findings. Using an integration research framework in conjunction with a temporality
of learning model, I introduce a method of disseminating research findings that provides both classroom teachers and researchers
with access to different forms of knowledge about cogenerative dialogues in the same paper. In doing so, this article examines
the relationships between teacher knowledge and researcher knowledge by exploring the practical application of cogenerative
dialogues for classrooms teachers and the theoretical implications of using cogenerative dialogues for researchers.
