Teacher Perspectives of Student Engagement in Data Practice Instruction
This study examines high school science teachers' perceptions of student engagement in data practices across two instructional contexts: a scaffolded, student‐centered environment using the Science Practices Innovation Notebook (SPIN) and a business‐as‐usual (BAU) teacher‐led investigation. Data practices—creating, collecting, preparing, visualizing, and analyzing data—are foundational to scientific inquiry and central to science education standa…

High school biology teachers’ integration of computational thinking into data practices to support student investigations
In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards advocate for the integration of computational thinking (CT) as a science and engineering practice. Additionally, there is agreement among some educational researchers that increasing opportunities for engaging in computational thinking can lend authenticity to classroom activities. This can be done through introducing CT principles, such as algorithms, abstractions, and automations, or t…
Integrating beyond Content
Learning through an integrated STEM framework has been shown to provide elementary students with numerous advantages over learning through isolated content instruction. All students, however, do not have access to high quality STEM instruction for reasons such as living in an under resourced community or their elementary school teachers feeling unprepared in STEM. For the purpose broadening STEM participation, this conceptual paper proposes a tho…

Inclusive STEM High School Design
Historically, the mission of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) schools emphasized providing gifted and talented students with advanced STEM coursework. However, a newer type of STEM school is emerging in the United States: inclusive STEM high schools (ISHSs). ISHSs have open enrollment and are focused on preparing underrepresented youth for the successful pursuit of advanced STEM studies. They promise to provide a critical …
Effect of Strategy Instruction on Fourth-Grade Dual Language Learners' Ability to Monitor Their Comprehension of Scientific Texts
This research work examined the impact of a science-reading instructional sequence (InSciRead) on fourth-grade Spanish-English dual language learners' ability to monitor their comprehension of content-related (erosion, deposition, and transportation) texts. We used a quantitative measure of students' ability to detect incongruities in a related text, complemented with a qualitative analysis of the data. The study included 78 fourth-grade students…
