Exploring teachers’ learning through teaching experience
Our understanding of elementary teachers’ science subject matter knowledge (SMK) development through teaching experience is incomplete. In this study, we explored the relationships with factors that may be associated with SMK. 346 elementary teachers completed one test for evolution and another test for force. They provided information about formal opportunities (college science coursework, professional development programmes), features of teachi…

There is a need to understand more about how teachers select and interact with curriculum resources from online marketplaces like TeachersPayTeachers.com (TPT). This study examined how 15 teachers selected and interacted with TPT resources. Data sources included interviews, a survey, and teachers’ TPT purchase history. Results revealed that although most resources cost little money on TPT, purchases can accumulate over time becoming quite expensi…
Reflection time and valuing science
Although teachers have opportunities to learn about many things through teaching experience, we know little about how they develop science subject matter knowledge in this setting. With both limited opportunities to learn science subject matter knowledge before becoming teachers and minimal science professional development available while working as a teacher, it is important to understand the extent to which elementary teachers develop science s…

A team of three third grade teachers utilized a modified approach to Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) based on principles and procedures that characterize Lesson Study to collaborate about their mathematics instruction. They gathered to design mathematical tasks and anticipate the thinking those tasks might elicit. Subsequent to facilitating lessons based on those tasks, they gathered again to compare the thinking they observed to the thi…
