Elementary teachers’ use of educative support materials for citizen science projects
Formidable obstacles constrain elementary teachers’ efforts to provide science instruction that creates opportunities for students to engage with science. These include limited instructional time, inadequate access to high-quality instructional materials and professional learning, and teachers’ self-efficacy. Citizen science, or community science, supports teachers by offering ways to engage students in science and in collecting and interpreting …
Citizen science in elementary classrooms
Introduction Elementary teachers face many challenges when including reform-based science instruction in their classrooms, and some teachers have chosen to enhance their science instruction by introducing students to citizen science (CS) projects. When CS projects are incorporated in formal school settings, students have an opportunity to engage in real-world projects as they collect and make sense of data, yet relatively few CS projects offer su…
Elementary teachers as collaborators
Science education is an important component of a full education beginning in primary grades. In recent decades, research has identified young learners' rich knowledge of the natural world and their potential to connect with sophisticated science ideas. Elementary teachers face many challenges to implementing reform-based science instruction in their classrooms. Some teachers may choose to enhance their students' science experiences by introducing…
Educative Curriculum Materials
The authors synthesize the findings of a research project to extend what is known about educative curriculum materials, or curriculum materials designed with the intent of supporting teacher learning as well as student learning. Drawing on a three-year program of research, including several close observational case studies and a large-scale quasi-experiment, the authors demonstrate how teachers use curriculum materials, what evidence there is of …
The benefits of comprehensive care of hemophilia
Eleven of 22 federally funded Comprehensive Hemophilia Centers have collected data on outcomes, before and after five years of this program's existence. Improved health, decreased hospitalization, decreased absenteeism, and a decrease in the unemployment rate from 36 per cent to 13 per cent were accompanied by decreased costs of care. In this model of a chronic handicapping illness, the early application of comprehensive care is preferable to the…
