Learning to Teach Science Through Water-Related Content
This article presents a multiple case study examining the teaching experience of four prospective pre-primary teachers (PPTs) in designing, implementing, and assessing teaching proposals aimed at promoting scientific thinking and skills in pre-primary education. The content chosen for this purpose was the surface tension of water. The PPTs implemented their teaching proposals during the practicum in four different classes of 4- and 5-year-olds. Q…
Effectiveness of a school scientific model to address buoyancy in the training of prospective early childhood teachers
Buoyancy is a recurring topic in early childhood education and provides an opportunity to introduce scientific modelling. This study is framed within the need to improve the training of prospective early childhood teachers (PECT) in this scientific practice and examines the effectiveness of a teaching intervention that models the buoyancy of objects in water as balanced forces. The research analyses responses from a pre-test and post-test questio…
Integration of Engineering Practices into Primary Science Classrooms
The integration of engineering practices into science education began to be explicitly promoted in the early twenty-first century and has since spread to many countries through recent curricular reforms. Despite this is fostered from the initial levels of education, there remains limited information on how to conduct it effectively in the classroom. To address this gap, a systematic review of studies published during the period 2001–2021 was cond…
Validation of an instrument for assessing basic science process skills in initial elementary teacher education
Basic science process skills (SPSs) constitute a key dimension of the scientific competence that should be developed from an early age. Therefore, preservice elementary teachers (PETs) who are preparing to teach science should have a sufficient mastery about it. This study presents a questionnaire that allows gradual levels of performance in SPSs to be established regarding formulating questions and hypotheses, identifying variables, measurement,…
Teach Your Classmates About the Behavior of Water with School-Level Science Models”
Prospective preschool teachers (PPTs) need to have learning experiences with the practice of scientific modelling to be able to design appropriate lessons as teachers. In the literature on research in science education, scarce experiences of PPTs in scientific modelling can be found. This study aims to fill the knowledge gap about PPTs’ representations of water and its states by means of models. To this end, an analysis is made of the models desi…
Analysis of the models proposed by prospective pre-primary teachers when studying water
This study analyses the evolution of school-level scientific models proposed by prospective pre-primary teachers (PPTs) (a) about the water molecule and its intermolecular bonds, and (b) representing the different states of water molecule aggregation at a microscopic level. The data were acquired from the PPTs’ responses at the beginning and at the end of the intervention to two open-ended questions. Given the qualitative and interpretive nature …
