National Influences on Science Education Reform in Canada
Current Realities and Future Possibilities
In this final article, we briefly review and synthesize the science and language research and practice that arose from the current literature and presentations at an international conference, referred to as the first "Island Conference". We add to the synthesis of the articles the conference deliberations and on-going discussions of the field and also offer our views as to how such contributions can take place. These central issues-the definition…
Examining the literacy component of science literacy
This review, written to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the International Journal of Science Education, revealed a period of changes in the theoretical views of the language arts, the perceived roles of language in science education, and the research approaches used to investigate oral and written language in science, science teaching, and learning. The early years were dominated by behavioralist and logico-mathematical interpretations of human…
Enhancing Science Literacy for All Students With Embedded Reading Instruction and Writing-to-Learn Activities
Reading and writing in science have been frequently maligned but infrequently studied since the 1960s move toward hands-on science. Current interest in the printed-based language arts in science is supported by contemporary educational reforms and the realization that simply doing more hands-on activities may not improve meaningful learning. Students need opportunities to consolidate their science experiences and to contrast their understandings …
Cognitive Growth and Test-Retest Effects of Selected Conservation Abilities, Logical Groupings and Infralogical Groupings
Performance on specific conservation tasks, logical and infra-logical grouping were repeatedly monitored for 83 boys and girls during Grade 1. The test-retest effects of the selected Piagetian interviews were also explored. Sizeable cognitive growth occurred during the first year of formal education; Grade 1 girls generally showed better cognitive development than the boys. The results did not indicate significant test-retest effects for the six …
