Student, teaching assistant, and faculty learning during innovation in an introductory biology course

Creator:: Blair, Lesley
Abstract:: This study examined the dynamics of student, teaching assistant (TA), and faculty learning in relationship to implementation of a genetic technologies project in a university introductory biology course. Research focused on the types of learning that occurred and the various factors impacting that learning. Study participants included 25 undergraduate non-science...

A multifaceted assessment of adult informal learning at the Hatfield Marine Science Center

Creator:: Lynds, Susan E.
Abstract:: Authentic assessment of visitor learning in museum settings is a challenging endeavor. Evaluation literature includes very few studies that link adult visitors' behavior to their learning. Multiple data collection methods in a naturalistic environment hold great promise for increasing understanding of informal public education. In 1997, Oregon State University's Hatfield...

Conceptions of the nature of science and worldviews of preservice elementary science teachers in Taiwan

Creator:: Liu, Shiang-Yao
Abstract:: This exploratory investigation aimed to identify preservice science teachers' conceptions of the nature of science (NOS), and worldviews that represent their culturally dependent beliefs about the world, in the context of Taiwan. The interrelationships between the responses elicited from both the assessments of NOS understandings and worldviews were examined. Participants...

Middle school science teachers' personal growth and professional development : what do they mean?

Creator:: Holmes, Frank L.
Abstract:: A teacher may say, "I have twenty years of experience," but just what does it mean? This study suggests explanations for the meaning of "Experience," not by looking at the number of years in a classroom, but at what teachers did in those years that could make the teaching experience...

Partnerships between secondary/elementary science teachers and laboratory-based scientists : delineating best practices

Creator:: Henderson, Sandra
Abstract:: Given the high probability of national and federal research laboratories continuing to sponsor science education partnerships between their staff and classroom science teachers and the dearth of research in this area, this study set out to delineate best practices associated with such partnerships for the purpose of increasing the effectiveness...

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...

The influence of history of science courses on students' conceptions of the nature of science

Creator:: Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad S.
Abstract:: This study assessed the influence of three history of science (HOS) courses on college students and preservice science teachers' conceptions of the nature of science (NOS), and examined whether participants who entered the investigated HOS courses with a conceptual framework consistent with current NOS views achieved more elaborate NOS understandings....

Constructing heroic identities : masculinity and the western film

Creator:: Foster, Brad D.
Abstract:: This thesis employs the study of gender to demonstrate how recent Hollywood western films have constructed a hero that is reflective of contemporary beliefs regarding masculinity. Beginning with a New Historicist approach at studying gender, this work first considers the construction of masculinity in post World War II America and...
