In line with current reform efforts, including the Next Generation Science Standards, this volume offers concrete pathways to redirect attention away from activity-oriented and vocabulary-centered elementary science teaching and toward elementary science teaching that privileges sensemaking.

With original studies and examples consistent with the NGSS standards, this book offers comprehensive research methods for integrating discourse and sociocultural practices in science and engineering education, and provides key tools for applying this framework for students, pre-service teachers, scholars, and researchers.

Proposing a conceptual reframing of the roles of teachers and students in formal and informal science learning settings, this book provides concrete, actionable suggestions in both elementary and secondary learning sites of how students, supported by the actions of educators, take on new roles, shifting from passive recipients of information to active participants in conceptual, social, epistemic and material features of science work.

Presenting three systematic, ongoing research and professional learning projects for supporting English learners in science, this book synthesizes their common themes and highlights unique features, findings, and lessons learned. Based in a different region of the U.S. and focused on different target populations, each project actively grapples with the linguistic implications of the three-dimensional learning required by the Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards.

Bringing together international research on nature of science (NOS) representations in science textbooks, the unique analyses presented in this volume provides a global perspective on NOS from elementary to college level and discusses the practical implications in various regions across the globe.

Answering calls in recent reform documents to shape instruction in response to students' ideas while integrating key concepts and scientific and/or mathematical practices, this text presents the concept of responsive teaching, synthesizes existing research, and examines implications for both research and teaching.

Featuring the most up-to-date work from leading Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) scholars across the globe, this volume maps where PCK has been, where it is going, and how it now informs and enhances knowledge of science teachers¿ professional knowledge.

Drawing on research and theory in science education, literacy, and educational psychology, as well as the history and philosophy of science, to make its case for transforming the way science is taught, this book addresses themes in national reform documents and movements - how to place students at the center of what happens in the classroom.

Bringing together international research on nature of science (NOS) representations in science textbooks, the unique analyses presented in this volume provides a global perspective on NOS from elementary to college level and discusses the practical implications in various regions across the globe.

How can curriculum integration of school science with the related disciplines of technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) enhance students¿ skills and their ability to link what they learn in school with the world outside the classroom? Featuring actual case studies of teachers¿ attempts to integrate their curriculum, their reasons for doing so, how they did it, and their reflections on the outcomes, this book encourages science educators to consider the purposes and potential outcomes of this approach and raises important questions about the place of science in the school curriculum.

How can curriculum integration of school science with the related disciplines of technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) enhance students'' skills and their ability to link what they learn in school with the world outside the classroom? Featuring actual case studies of teachers'' attempts to integrate their curriculum, their reasons for doing so, how they did it, and their reflections on the outcomes, this book encourages science educators to consider the purposes and potential outcomes of this approach and raises important questions about the place of science in the school curriculum. It takes an honest approach to real issues that arise in curriculum integration in a range of education contexts at the elementary and middle school levels. The clear documentation and critical analysis of the contribution of science in curriculum integration-its implementation and its strengths and weaknesses-will assist teachers, science educators, and researchers to understand how this approach can work to engage students and improve their learning, as well as how it does not happen easily, and how various factors can facilitate or hinder successful integration.
