District Science Coordinators' Conceptions of and Levers for Advancing Equity Agendas at the Elementary Level
Equity is a core feature of science education reform initiatives in the United States, but there is not an agreed‐upon definition of what equity is, resulting in different approaches for the benefit (and exclusion) of different groups. School district leaders, including district science coordinators (DSCs), play many important roles in implementing educational reform efforts, including with regard to equity. For this qualitative case study, we an…
Attending to Preservice Teachers' Assets
Preservice elementary science teachers' beliefs and practices influence the kinds of adaptations they make to curriculum materials and the extent to which they are able to enact justice‐oriented science lessons. Through this qualitative study, we explored the beliefs and practices of five focal preservice teachers through an analysis of their lesson plans, recorded enactments, and interviews about their science teaching throughout their student t…
Twenty‐One Years and Still Going Strong
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a period of rapid transformation when meeting targets for optimal diabetes care is often challenging due to competing life demands. For more than two decades a diabetes transition clinic in Sydney, Australia, has sustained positive outcomes and demonstrated aspects of resilience in the care of individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who have transitioned from paediatric to adult care. Many studies have focused on …
Histories for Life and Histories for Death
Fifty years have passed since two critical and closely linked events transformed the modern Greek world: the attempted coup and ensuing war in Cyprus that brought its enduring division, and the restoration of democracy after the fall of the dictatorship in Greece. This paper takes as a point of departure the analytic and ethical challenges of reflecting on the meaning of these events from a distance of fifty years, focusing especially on the divi…
Innovative Approach to Teaching Health Care Policy
Characterizing engagement in the science practices
Preservice elementary teachers enter their science methods courses with a range of prior experience with science practice. Those prior experiences likely inform much of their science pedagogy and goals. In this study, the authors examine how a cohort of preservice elementary teachers engaged in science practice as they learned content in a physics course. Drawing on course documents, videorecords, and artifacts from in‐class lab work and intervie…
The Resources of Instructional Contexts
Educational contexts are often seen as constraints in school settings. We propose a framework to analyze how teachers draw on their contexts to find resources to support their learning. Following five preservice elementary teachers into their first years of teaching, we draw on interviews, surveys, artifacts, and videorecords. We apply this framework to identify the resources available in elementary science teaching. Our findings show how some re…
Integration of psychological support into paediatric Type 1 diabetes services in Australia
Context: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic, incurable condition that is typically diagnosed in childhood. In 2021, there were around 8.4. million individuals living with T1D and of these, 18% were aged < 20 years. Successful health and psychosocial outcomes require education and support from a multidisciplinary team (MDT). The 2022 International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes guidelines (ISPAD), state that psychologists are essent…
Data in the making, political struggle, and epistemic (in)justice
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the limits of big data to guide decision-making in times of crisis. As people navigated daily life, they were confronted with the reality that data were often not yet material but rather in-the-making. Drawing upon critical and feminist lenses and participatory methodologies, this study investigates the data stories of nine people of Asian descent living in the United States. Findings illustrate how participants navi…
Engagement in high‐leverage science teaching practices among novice elementary teachers
As part of learning to teach, teachers must learn to use a range of teaching practices. In this longitudinal study the authors explore how novice elementary teachers learn to engage in a set of high‐leverage science teaching practices, such as leading a science sensemaking discussion and setting up and managing small‐group investigations . Drawing primarily on videorecords from 33 lesson enactments, supplemented by transcripts of interviews with …
Priority setting for children and young people with chronic conditions and disabilities
BACKGROUND: The aim of this project was to identify the top 10 priorities for childhood chronic conditions and disability (CCD) research from the perspectives of children and young people with lived experience, their parents and caregivers and the professionals who work with them. METHODS: We conducted a three-stage study based on the James Lind Alliance priority-setting partnership methods. It comprised two online surveys (n = 200; n = 201) and …
Experiences of Caregivers and At-Risk Children Enrolled in a Prospective Pregnancy-Birth Cohort Study into the Causes of Type 1 Diabetes
This evaluation identified modifiable protocol elements and was conducted to further improve satisfaction. What was important to the children was distinct from their caregivers
It’s been a lifelong thing for me’
This study demonstrates that parents face challenges in supporting healthy lifestyle for children/adolescents with severe obesity due to parents own internal weight biases and their negative experiences within the healthcare system when seeking help
The Right Advice, from the Right Person, in the Right Way
Family-based lifestyle interventions for children/adolescents with severe levels of obesity are numerous, but evidence indicates programs fail to elicit short- or longer-term weight loss outcomes. Families with lived experience can provide valuable insight as we strive to improve outcomes from programs. Our aim was to explore elements that families desired in a program designed to treat severe levels of obesity in young people. We recruited a cro…
Perspectives of culturally and linguistically diverse families in the management of children with type 1 diabetes in Western Australia
The study highlights the need to consider cultural diversity, psychosocial needs, English proficiency and health literacy when assessing and planning diabetes education. These findings will be useful to formulate a more culturally sensitive approach to diabetes education to improve care and outcomes for young people with T1D from culturally and linguistically diverse families
Novice elementary teachers’ knowledge of, beliefs about, and planning for the science practices
This longitudinal research examines the knowledge of, beliefs about, and planned use of the science practices of five novice elementary or primary teachers during their science methods course, student teaching, and first year of teaching. To answer our research questions, we collected lesson plans and conducted interviews after the teachers taught science lessons, and we coded these data sources for science practices and sub-practices. We found t…
Science practice‐readiness
With the shifts in science education emphasizing the integration of science practices with science content, there is a need to know how teachers understand those science practices within their teaching practice. Our primary research question was, What do novice elementary teachers know about the science practices, in terms of what the practices are and how to engage students in the science practices? To answer that question, the current qualitati…
Leading instructional improvement in elementary science
The Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS ), a reform effort “for states, by states,” advances ambitious ideals for elementary science teaching, but the fate of these ideals will depend in part on the engagement of state science coordinators ( SSCs ). This article explores the responses of SSCs to NGSS in a purposeful sample of 18 US states. Based on analysis of 19 interviews with 22 SSCs , we develop two arguments. First, SSCs ' ideas about i…
The Role of Men During Pregnancy
This study examined the relationship between men's involvement and primary caregivers' antenatal visits, acquiring antenatal tablets, and working less during pregnancy. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 5,000 Tanzanian primary caregivers living in households with one or more children under the age of 2 years. Results indicated that primary caregivers who received help from their husband/partner, or perceived that men in their community …
Associations Between School Characteristics and Classroom Radon Concentrations in Utah’s Public Schools
Radon (222Rn), a radioactive gas, is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. Classroom radon concentrations in public schools in our target area had never been measured or had not been measured in many years. We had university students, primarily enrolled in environmental health courses, measure radon concentrations in 2289 classrooms in 66 of Utah's public schools and identify school characteristics associated with classroom r…
Community Infrastructuring as Necessary Ingenuity in the Covid-19 Pandemic
We report on how one community builds capacity for disrupting injustice and supporting each other during the COVID-19 crisis. We engaged long-term community partners (parents, their youth, and local community center leaders) in on-going conversation on their experiences with the pandemic. We learned with and from community partners about how and what people in communities most vulnerable in this crisis learn about and respond to COVID-19 in highl…

Metamorphosis in the Culture Market of Niger
The banner of authenticity is falling in the contemporary market for non-Western culture. Taking Tuareg artisanry in Niger as a case study, I show that the neocolonial Western habit of collecting "exotic" art objects is giving way to a more collaborative proclivity toward Western objects produced in "traditional" Tuareg style. While Tuareg artisans-adjusting to social and cultural upheavals attending the urbanization of their practice and the rec…

Habit de qualité
Historians have debated the significance of a group of late-seventeenth-century French engravings depicting fashionably dressed men and women. At question is the classification of these engravings as fashion prints, images which depict as well as disseminate current fashion information. An analysis of these French prints, which date from the mid-1670s to about 1715, reveals that although often imitative, details of dress and coiffure were continu…
Developing Preservice Elementary Teachers’ Pedagogical Design Capacity for Reform‐Based Curriculum Design
Teachers use curriculum materials as a guide in their planning, critiquing and adapting them to address reform‐based goals and practices and specific contextual needs. To become well‐started beginners in planning lessons, novice teachers need opportunities to develop their pedagogical design capacity—that is, their ability to use personal and curricular resources in designing instruction for students. This study investigated the use of reform‐bas…
Using Educative Curriculum Materials to Support Preservice Elementary Teachers’ Curricular Planning
Educative curriculum materials—materials designed to promote both teacher and student learning—may help novice teachers learn how to engage in productive curricular planning. However, little is known about how educative supports within these materials should be written to best support teachers. This quasi-experimental study examines the affordances and constraints of two different forms of educative support, general supports and lesson-specific s…

A Scaffolding Design Framework for Software to Support Science Inquiry
The notion of scaffolding learners to help them succeed in solving problems otherwise too difficult for them is an important idea that has extended into the design of scaffolded software tools for learners. However, although there is a growing body of work on scaffolded tools, scaffold design, and the impact of scaffolding, the field has not yet converged on a common theoretical framework that defines rationales and approaches to guide the design…
