This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers in Minnesota have made assessing and improving student science performance a priority (Minnesota High Tech Association 2010a,b). Minnesota has supported several statewide initiatives to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)--including a grant from the National Governors Association to increase science learning opportunities, align K-12 STEM education requirements with postsecondary workplace expectations, improve the quality and quantity of STEM teachers, benchmark standards, and identify best practices in STEM education (National Governors Association 2007). To gauge student progress toward the state's academic science standards, the Minnesota Department of Education introduced the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments-Series II (MCA-II) science assessment in 2008. Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest responded to a request by the Minnesota Department of Education to study elementary and middle school science achievement. The current study addresses three research questions: (1) How does student achievement on the 2009/10 MCA-II science assessment in grades 5 and 8 differ by student demographic characteristics?; (2) How does schoolwide achievement on the 2009/10 MCA-II science assessment in grades 5 and 8 relate to school characteristics?; and (3) To what extent do school characteristics explain differences in student achievement on the 2009/10 MCA-II science assessment in grades 5 and 8, after accounting for the influence of student characteristics? This study used data for 51,510 grade 5 students in 786 schools and 52,421 grade 8 students in 469 schools. Students' levels of science achievement depended on their demographic characteristics for both the grade 5 and grade 8 assessment: (1) Students who were not identified for special education services scored higher than students who were; (2) Students who were not eligible for free or reduced-price lunch scored higher than students who were; (3) White students scored higher than students of other racial/ethnic groups; and (4) Male students scored higher than female students. Eight of the nine school characteristics examined were related to schoolwide science achievement: (1) Science achievement tended to be lower in schools with higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, limited English proficient students, students identified for special education services, and non-White students; (2) Science achievement tended to be higher in schools that had more experienced teachers, higher percentages of teachers with an advanced degree, larger student-teacher ratios, and higher levels of prior-year academic achievement; and (3) Science achievement tended to be higher in schools with a higher proportion of female students in grade 8, but this relationship was not observed in grade 5. About 80 percent of the variation in students' scores (79 percent in grade 5 and 84 percent in grade 8) was due to differences among students within schools; differences between schools accounted for the remaining variation. However, after accounting for student-level characteristics, the school characteristics examined explained less than 3 percent of the variation between schools (2.1 percent in grade 5 and 2.7 percent in grade 8). For both grades, after accounting for student characteristics, science achievement tended to be higher in schools with a smaller percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a larger percentage of White students. Specifically, the following results were evident for both grades: (1) A 1 percentage point increase in the percentage of White students was associated with an estimated increase in science assessment scores of 3.24 percentage points in grade 5 and 2.31 percentage points in grade 8; and (2) A 1 percentage point increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch was associated with an estimated decrease in science assessment scores of 2.33 percentage points in grade 5 and 2.65 percentage points in grade 8. None of the school characteristics based on teacher composition examined in this study were related to student science achievement after other student and school characteristics were accounted for. This report provides Minnesota policymakers with insights into factors related to science achievement, as measured by the MCA-II. Appended are: (1) Minnesota K-12 academic standards in science; (2) Data procedures; (3) Student demographic and school characteristics for grades 5 and 8; (4) Data analysis; (5) Variance decomposition from multilevel models; and (6) Additional analyses.

This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, many states are adopting the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) or are revising their own state standards in ways that reflect the NGSS. For students and schools, the implementation of any science standards rests with teachers. For those teachers, an evolving understanding about how best to teach science represents a significant transition in the way science is currently taught in most classrooms and it will require most science teachers to change how they teach. That change will require learning opportunities for teachers that reinforce and expand their knowledge of the major ideas and concepts in science, their familiarity with a range of instructional strategies, and the skills to implement those strategies in the classroom. Providing these kinds of learning opportunities in turn will require profound changes to current approaches to supporting teachers' learning across their careers, from their initial training to continuing professional development. A teacher's capability to improve students' scientific understanding is heavily influenced by the school and district in which they work, the community in which the school is located, and the larger professional communities to which they belong. Science Teachers' Learning provides guidance for schools and districts on how best to support teachers' learning and how to implement successful programs for professional development. This report makes actionable recommendations for science teachers' learning that take a broad view of what is known about science education, how and when teachers learn, and education policies that directly and indirectly shape what teachers are able to learn and teach. The challenge of developing the expertise teachers need to implement the NGSS presents an opportunity to rethink professional learning for science teachers. Science Teachers' Learning will be a valuable resource for classrooms, departments, schools, districts, and professional organizations as they move to new ways to teach science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory experiences as a part of most U.S. high school science curricula have been taken for granted for decades, but they have rarely been carefully examined. What do they contribute to science learning? What can they contribute to science learning? What is the current status of labs in our nation�s high schools as a context for learning science? This book looks at a range of questions about how laboratory experiences fit into U.S. high schools: What is effective laboratory teaching? What does research tell us about learning in high school science labs? How should student learning in laboratory experiences be assessed? Do all student have access to laboratory experiences? What changes need to be made to improve laboratory experiences for high school students? How can school organization contribute to effective laboratory teaching? With increased attention to the U.S. education system and student outcomes, no part of the high school curriculum should escape scrutiny. This timely book investigates factors that influence a high school laboratory experience, looking closely at what currently takes place and what the goals of those experiences are and should be. Science educators, school administrators, policy makers, and parents will all benefit from a better understanding of the need for laboratory experiences to be an integral part of the science curriculum-and how that can be accomplished.
