  • Teacher Professional Learning to Promote Science and Language Integration With Multilingual Learners

    Open Access•Alison Haas, Abigail Schwenger et al.•ARTICLE•School Science and Mathematics•2026

    Contemporary science instruction guided by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) requires instructional shifts, driving an urgent need for curriculum‐based professional development (PD). This urgency is compounded by the growing population of multilingual learners (MLs), necessitating PD that effectively integrates science and language learning. While NGSS‐based PD programs are emerging, few studies have examined the impacts of such progra…

  • STEM Education With a Focus on Equity and Justice

    Open Access•Okhwa Lee, Scott Grapin•ARTICLE•Journal of Research in Science…•2025•Referências: 94

    The disproportionate impacts of societal challenges (e.g., climate change, air and water pollution) on minoritized groups expose systemic injustices and compels STEM educators to reframe the role of STEM education in society. In this article, we describe traditional approaches, contemporary approaches, and our proposed future approach in science and STEM education with a focus on equity and justice. First, we begin with conceptual framing for equ…

  • Development of a questionnaire on teachers' beliefs, preparedness, and instructional practices for teaching NGSS science with multilingual learners

    Open Access•Scott E Grapin, Courtney L Plumley et al.•ARTICLE•Science Education•2025•Citada por: 2•Referências: 54

    The limited availability of research instruments that reflect the vision of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) restricts the field's understanding of whether and how teachers are making instructional shifts called for by the standards. The need for such instruments is particularly urgent with teachers of multilingual learners (MLs), who are called on to make shifts in how they think about and enact instruction related to both science an…

  • Justice‐centered STEM education with multilingual learners to address societal challenges

    Open Access•Okhwa Lee, Scott Grapin•ARTICLE•Journal of Research in Science…•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 97

    We propose a conceptual framework for STEM education that is centered around justice for minoritized groups. Justice‐centered STEM education engages all students in multiple STEM subjects, including data science and computer science, to explain and design solutions to societal challenges disproportionately impacting minoritized groups. We articulate the affordances of justice‐centered STEM education for one minoritized student group that has been…

  • English language proficiency standards aligned with content standards

    Open Access•Okhwa Lee, Scott E Grapin•ARTICLE•Science Education•2024

    The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) provide a vision for contemporary science education with all students, including the fast‐growing population of multilingual learners in the United States K‐12 context. The shifts heralded by the NGSS have resulted in significant changes to English language proficiency (ELP) or English language development (ELD) standards so they better align with content standards and support all students, including m…

  • A Flawed Policy Metaphor

    H Y S Cherng, Hua-Yu Sebastian Cherng et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Education•2024•Referências: 53

    Purpose: Although the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) pipeline has been the most common policy framework to understand why ethnoracial disparities are some of the most glaring, few studies have empirically assessed whether the relationship between early academic preparation, such as for standardized tests, grades, and coursework, and later outcomes is the same across racial/ethnic groups. Research Methods/Approach: This study us…

  • On the Nature and Utility of Crosscutting Concepts

    Open Access•Jeffrey Nordine, Okhwa Lee•ARTICLE•Education Sciences•2023

    The crosscutting concepts (CCCs) are a collection of ideas that span the science and engineering disciplines. While various standards documents have identified similar sets of ideas in the past, calls for their explicit inclusion into science and engineering instruction began in earnest only about a decade ago. When these calls began, the research base on the teaching and learning of the CCCs was limited; in the intervening years, educators have …

  • Teacher professional development programs integrating science and language with multilingual learners

    Open Access•Okhwa Lee, Scott E Grapin et al.•ARTICLE•Science Education•2023

    As the vision in A Framework for K‐12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) takes hold in schools and classrooms, there is an urgent need for teacher professional development (PD) programs that align with NGSS‐designed curriculum materials and address the unique strengths and needs of diverse student groups, including multilingual learners (MLs). The purpose of this article is to propose our conceptual framework for P…

  • Multilingual learners' epistemologies in practice in the context of computational modeling in an elementary science classroom

    Open Access•Scott Grapin, Alison Haas et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research in Science…•2023

    The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have spurred renewed interest in the epistemologies that students adopt as they engage in science practices. One framework for characterizing students' epistemologies is the epistemologies in practice framework (Berland et al. (2016), Journal of Research in Science Teaching , 53(7), 1082–1112), which focuses on students' meaningful use of four epistemic considerations: Nature, Generality, Justification…

  • Disciplinary Practices with Multilingual Learners in the Content Areas

    Scott Grapin, Lorena Llosa et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language Identity &…•2022•Citada por: 3•Referências: 5

    Contemporary conceptions of content learning that emphasize disciplinary practices offer opportunities to see and hear multilingual learners’ (MLs’) participation in new ways. However, research on disciplinary practices with MLs has primarily targeted those practices traditionally considered language intensive, such as explanation and argumentation. As this research expands to disciplinary practices less familiar to language educators, it may ben…

  • Friendships of Indonesian, South Korean, and U.S. college students

    Open Access•D C French, ALYX BAE et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2006

    The friendships of college students in the United States ( n = 61), Indonesia ( n = 56), and South Korea ( n = 35) were assessed to evaluate the H. C. Triandis, R. Bontempo, M. J. Villareal, M. Asai, and N. Lucca (1988) hypothesis that the friendships of individuals in collectivist cultures are more intimate and less extensive than those in individualistic cultures. Students rated the qualities of their friendships, reported the identity and char…

  • Science Writing Achievement Among English Language Learners

    Okhwa Lee, Margarette Mahotiere et al.•ARTICLE•Bilingual Research Journal•2009•Referências: 4

    As part of our professional development intervention, this study examined third-grade ELL students' writing achievement that included “form” (i.e., conventions, organization, and style/voice) and “content” (i.e., specific knowledge and understanding of science) in expository science writing. The study included six treatment schools from a large urban school district. Data were collected from three different groups of students over 3 separate year…

  • Integrating Science And English Proficiency For English Language Learners

    Okhwa Lee, Okhee Lee et al.•ARTICLE•Theory Into Practice•2013•Citada por: 10•Referências: 9

    Despite the expectation that all students should achieve high academic standards, content area instruction and English for speakers of other languages instruction for English language learners (ELLs) have traditionally been conceptualized as separate domains, resulting in educational inequities for ELLs. This is because effective instruction to promote academic achievement for ELLs requires integration of content and language. Such inequities are…
