  • Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

    Creator:
    Price, Matthew F.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...

  • Evidence, explanations, and recommendations for teachers' field trip strategies

    Creator:
    Rebar, Bryan M.
    Abstract:
    Field trips are well recognized by researchers as an educational approach with the potential to complement and enhance classroom science teaching by exposing students to unique activities, resources, and content in informal settings. The following investigation addresses teachers' field trip practices in three related manuscripts: (1) A study examining the...

  • Communicating science : developing an exhibit with scientists and educators

    Creator:
    Lemagie, Emily
    Abstract:
    Outreach is a small, but significant component to modern research. Developing an exhibit for public display can be an effective way to communicate science to broad audiences, although it may be a less familiar method to scientists than writing papers or giving presentations. I outline the process of developing an...

  • Exploring the foundations of science interest development in early childhood

    Creator:
    Pattison, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    There is growing evidence that children develop science-related interests in early childhood, before they enter school, and that these interests may have long-term implications for science participation and achievement. Although researchers have made headway in describing interest development in the preschool years, little is currently known about the proximal processes...

  • Voices from the coast : drawing on family funds of knowledge to build ocean literacy and home school partnerships

    Creator:
    Roebber, Susan Merwin
    Abstract:
    In this qualitative study, ethnographic methods were used to identify parent funds of knowledge related to ocean literacy in a rural, coastal context. Participants included 16 parents of students in the teacher-researcher's third-grade classroom. Interactions between parent-child, parent-parent, and parent and the teacher-researcher were studied in order to determine factors...
