Aspects of the Nature of Engineering for K-12 Science Education : A Delphi Study

Creator:: Hartman, Brian D.
Abstract:: Recent state and national standards have increased the interest in engineering at the K-12 level. Science standards, in particular, have begun to make the case for including engineering throughout the K-12 scope of study. Despite the increased attention to engineering, the characteristics and uniqueness of the field of engineering are...

A study of the relationship between the elementary science study unit attribute games and problems and the development of divergent-productive thinking in selected elementary school children

Creator:: Huntsberger, John Paul
Abstract:: Acquisition of divergent-productive thinking skills by using elementary science materials constitutes the basic idea of this experiment. The data collected was used to determine statistically if the materials had a significant role in inducing such skills. The Ss were fifth-grade students obtained from two public elementary schools in Oregon. Those...

The influence of primary children's ideas in science on teaching practice

Creator:: Dickinson, Valarie L.
Abstract:: A large body of research has examined how children enter the science classroom with previously formed ideas about the content they will learn. These ideas influence how the child interprets instruction. This study reversed the investigative focus by exploring how children's ideas in science influence teaching. Specifically, the study examined...

Factors that influence the quality of teacher implementation of a school-based social-emotional learning and health promotion program

Creator:: Malloy, Margaret
Abstract:: Research regarding factors that promote high-quality implementation of school-based prevention programs has increased markedly over the past decade as it has become increasingly recognized that evidence-based programs are often not well implemented. Whole-school interventions may be particularly complex to implement because they are intended to involve all school personnel and...

Children's conceptions of nature as influenced by a residential environmental education program

Creator:: Rebar, Bryan M.
Abstract:: The majority of research in environmental education (EE) has focused on measuring knowledge, attitudes, and behavior using quantitative tools and methods. Few studies have attempted to elicit and characterize children's conceptions of the environment or nature, particularly those resulting from a residential EE experience, which contextualize knowledge, attitudes, and may...
