Science inquiry as knowledge transformation : investigating metacognitive and self-regulation strategies to assist students in writing about scientific inquiry tasks

Creator:: Collins, Timothy A.
Abstract:: Science inquiry is central to the science education reform efforts that began in the early 1990's. It is both a topic of instruction and a process to be experienced. Student engagement in the process of scientific inquiry was the focus of this study. The process of scientific inquiry can be...

Teacher argumentation in the secondary science classroom : images of two modes of scientific inquiry

Creator:: Gray, Ron E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine scientific arguments constructed by secondary science teachers during instruction. The analysis focused on how arguments constructed by teachers differed based on the mode of inquiry underlying the topic. Specifically, how did the structure and content of arguments differ between experimentally and...

How do engineering students develop and reason with concepts of electricity within a project-based course?

Creator:: Bledsoe, Karen E.
Abstract:: Reform in science education has often emphasized task-based learning as an instructional method to improve student understanding and retention of concepts, and to promote the development of reasoning and problem-solving. Yet studies assessing student knowledge at the beginning and end of a task-based class show mixed results. Students in task-based...

Gender and science identity and the visitor experience : looking closely at aquarium visitors

Creator:: Robichaux, Laia C.
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increased focus on identity and how it shapes visitor experience in free-choice learning (FCL) environments. Inquiry into how visitor's sex impacts identity and experience has yielded equivocal results. To date there has been no research into how the psychosocial construct of gender and...

Characterization of expert solutions to inform instruction and assessment in an industrially situated process development task

Creator:: Sherrett, Ben U.
Abstract:: What constitutes a quality solution to an authentic task from industry? This study seeks to address this question through the examination of two expert solutions to an authentic engineering task used in the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering curriculum at Oregon State University. The two solutions were generated by two...

The relationship of a problem-based calculus course and students' views of mathematical thinking

Creator:: Liu, Po-Hung
Abstract:: It has been held that heuristic training alone is not enough for developing one's mathematical thinking. One missing component is a mathematical point of view. Many educational researchers have proposed problem-based curricula to improve students' views of mathematical thinking. The present study reports findings regarding effects of a problem-based calculus...

Investigating the validity of the Washington State performance-based pedagogy assessment process for teacher licensure

Creator:: Tisadondilok, Sita
Abstract:: This study examined the validity of the WA PPA process which was developed to assess teacher candidates for licensing purposes. Three validities were investigated using Messick’s view. Content validity was addressed using the raters’ judgment to establish alignment between the WAC standards and the INTASC. Evidential validity refers to the...

Crossing the Cartesian divide : an investigation into the role of emotion in science learning

Creator:: Staus, Nancy L.
Abstract:: Although many science educators and researchers believe that emotion is an important part of the learning process, few researchers have dealt with the topic in a systematic fashion. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of emotion in the learning process, particularly in the learning of science...
