From Everyday Thinking to Systems Thinking
Despite its broad relevance to science and society, dynamical systems theory (DST), which mathematically models patterns of change in system behavior, is largely absent from K–12 science education. This study introduces the Patterns Game , a model‐based approach that enables middle school students to engage with DST without relying on advanced mathematics. Using a design‐based research methodology, we investigated the outcomes and processes of 8t…
Cultivating science data literacy in K-16 science education through data practices
As data science advances with the emergence of new computational technologies, science data literacy (SDL)—the ability to understand, use, and critically engage with data to address real-world scientific problems—becomes increasingly vital in science education. However, research on how data practices vary across scientific disciplines and educational levels remains limited, hindering the development of a more cohesive understanding of how SDL can…
Computational models as tools for supporting responsive teaching
It is widely agreed that science instruction should help students build new knowledge on the foundation of their prior knowledge. Responsive teaching refers to a family of teaching strategies that pursue and build on student ideas. We introduce a particular approach to responsive teaching and examine how it can be supported by the use of computational models. We analyse an 8th grade science teacher’s facilitation of a class discussion near the en…
