Epistemological views in authentic science practice : a cross-discipline comparison of scientists' views of nature of science and scientific inquiry

Creator:: Schwartz, Renée S.
Abstract:: This study explored scientists' epistemological views of science and compared views based upon scientists' discipline area and primary investigative approach. Participants were 24 scientists, averaging 25 years research experience, representing four discipline areas: life science (10), Earth and space science (5), physics (5), chemistry (5); and four investigative approaches: experimental...

Analyzing explicit teaching strategies and student discourse for scientific argumentation

Creator:: Park, Young-Shin
Abstract:: Scientific inquiry in K-12 classrooms tends to be procedural, lacking opportunities for students to gain understanding of how scientific knowledge is constructed through reflection, debate, and argument. Limited opportunity to develop scientific argumentation skills prevents students from practicing the scientific thinking needed to understand the nature of scientific knowledge and...
