Third and fourth grade students’ conceptions of the nature of scientific inquiry
Understanding the nature of scientific inquiry is considered a critical component of scientific literacy [Michaels, S., Shouse, A. W., & Schweingruber, H. A. (2008). Ready, set, science!: Putting research to work in K-8 classrooms. National Academies Press]. What do elementary students already know about scientific inquiry? Using the VASI-E (Lederman, Lederman, Bartos, Bartels, Antink Meyer, and Schwartz) we surveyed 135 third and fourth grade st…
Completing the progression establishing an international baseline of primary, middle and secondary students’ views of scientific inquiry
Knowledge of scientific inquiry (SI) is considered essential to the development of an individual's Scientific Literacy (SL) and therefore, SI is included in many international science education reform documents. Two previous large scale international studies assessed the SI understandings of students entering middle school and secondary students at the end of their formal K-12 science education. The purpose of this international project was to us…
International collaborative follow-up investigation of graduating high school students’ understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry
Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up international project (i.e. 32 countries and regions, spanning six continents and including 3917 students f…
Investigating the development of secondary students’ views about scientific inquiry
The purposes of this study were to (1) investigate 127 high school students’ views about scientific inquiry at different grade levels, and (2) to describe factors such as the teacher’s views about scientific inquiry, his teaching, and his curriculum that facilitated or constrained students’ views about scientific inquiry. The majority of students held naïve and mixed views for many aspects about scientific inquiry. There were few differences amon…
Developing an instrument to assess pedagogical content knowledge for biological socioscientific issues
Nature of Science, Scientific Inquiry, and Socio-Scientific Issues Arising from Genetics
Meaningful assessment of learners' understandings about scientific inquiry-The views about scientific inquiry (Vasi) questionnaire
Helping students develop informed views about scientific inquiry (SI) has been and continues to be a goal of K-12 science education, as evidenced in various reform documents. Nevertheless, research focusing on understandings of SI has taken a perceptible backseat to that which focuses on the “doing” of inquiry. We contend that this is partially a function of the typical conflation of scientific inquiry with nature of science (NOS), and is also at…
Developing views of nature of science in an authentic context
Reform efforts emphasize teaching science to promote contemporary views of the nature of science (NOS) and scientific inquiry. Within the framework of situated cognition, the assertion is that engagement in inquiry activities similar to those of scientists provides a learning context conducive to developing knowledge about the methods and activities through which science progresses, and, in turn, to developing desired views of NOS. The inclusion …
Inquiry in science education
This paper set emerged from an international symposium that aimed to shed light on issues associated with the enactment of inquiry both as means (i.e., inquiry as an instructional approach) and as ends (i.e., inquiry as a learning outcome) in precollege science classrooms. The symposium contributors were charged with providing perspectives from their countries on the following major themes: (a) philosophical and practical conceptions of inquiry i…
Is history of science stuck in the past
Pre‐service teachers’ understanding and teaching of nature of science
Improving science teachers' conceptions of nature of science
This paper aimed to review, and assess the 'effectiveness' of the attempts undertaken to improve prospective and practising science teachers' conceptions of nature of science (NOS). The reviewed attempts could be categorized into two general approches: implicit and explicit. Implicit attempts utilized science process-skills instruction or engagement in science-based inquiry activities to improve science teachers' conceptions of NOS. To achieve th…
Students' and teachers' conceptions of the nature of science
The development of adequate student conceptions of the nature of science has been a perennial objective of science instruction regardless of the currently advocated pedagogical or curricular emphases. Consequently, it has been an area of prolific research characterized by several parallel, but distinct, lines of investigation. Although research related to students' and teachers' conceptions of the nature of science has been conducted for approxim…
