Resource | Uncovering the Connections Among Rural Science Teachers: A Social Network Analysis
Using social network analysis, we sought to characterize the professional collaboration and advice networks among rural science teachers. Furthermore, we explored how the characteristics of individual teachers and distance between teachers affected the likelihood of forming connections. Science teachers in publicly funded rural schools were asked whom they collaborate with and seek advice from…

Resource | Designing and Implementing Data Lessons in Secondary Education
This study examines how secondary teachers incorporated the six-phase Data Investigation Process (Lee et al., 2022) into classroom lessons following a professional learning experience. Analysis of 13 lesson plans, interviews, and survey responses revealed that while most lessons addressed multiple phases, few supported full engagement across all six. Framing the Problem was the most consistently…

Resource | Thinking Through the Data Investigation Process
In this document, we identify key considerations to guide thinking and actions for data investigations, where the goal of an investigation is to answer a statistical question within a context to communicate approaches and solutions to a problem based on evidence. This process is composed of six phases: Frame the Problem, Consider and Gather Data, Process Data, Explore & Visualize Data,…

Resource | The Data Investigation Process Classroom Poster
When assisting students in a data investigation, it can be useful to help them develop key ways of thinking and dispositions that are helpful in developing expertise in conducting data investigations like a statistician or data scientist. It can be useful for students to see a reminder of this process and key considerations. This poster version of the Data Investigation Process that can be used…

Resource | The Data Investigation Process
Today, the ability to make sense of data is essential. K-12 students need educational experiences that can assist them in developing data literacy for global citizenry, and career and college pathways related to statistics and data science (e.g., Engel, 2017; Gould, 2017). Statistics and practices with data are included in standards and goals across the K-12 curriculum. Science puts a heavy…

Resource | Data Investigation Processes: Connected, Iterative, and Cyclic
Developing the ability to do data science and make sense of the data science work done by others involves building skills and knowledge that span across all phases of a data life cycle and draw on many subject areas. Science tends to put a heavy emphasis on reasoning from and with data to understand scientific phenomena. English and Social Studies incorporate the use of data and data…

Resource | Using Partner Interviews to Support Language and Mathematics Development for Elementary Multilingual Learners
While peer-to-peer conversations can be beneficial for children’s linguistic and mathematical development, the specific conditions needed to support optimal conversations remain elusive. As part of a larger project to infuse peer-to-peer interactions into mathematics instruction for multilingual students, 8- to 11-year-old children in the U.S. were videotaped by their teachers interviewing one…

Resource | The Value of Video Annotations: Noticing Different Modes and Aspects of Student Thinking
The purpose of this study is to explore if and how different types of video annotations support pre-service teachers (PSTs) in learning how to notice student multimodal, or verbal and non-verbal, mathematical thinking. We implemented a video club intervention in a middle grades mathematics methods class. We asked PSTs to annotate classroom videos using two types of annotations. The first type was…

Resource | Incorporating Participatory Science in Elementary Schools: Teacher and Student Experiences with Outdoor Learning
Science instruction in elementary school provides a base for student understanding of the natural world, yet policies prioritizing mathematics and reading have marginalized science. In response, some teachers have enhanced their science instruction by introducing students to participatory science (PS) projects. Using data from a larger study that examines the development of educative support…

Resource | Getting Serious About Useful Chemistry Learning: A Case for Attending to Epistemological Messaging
In this Perspective, I consider how our field can take principled actions to align our ways of designing and refining courses with our oft-stated goal for chemistry learning to be useful in daily life. To do so, I make three interrelated arguments. First, I argue achieving this goal will require a particular focus on epistemologies: “[people’s] systems of beliefs [tacit or explicit] about (1) the…

Resource | Collective (Un)Learning: A Self-Examination of Science Teacher Educators' Evolving Translanguaging Pedagogy for Eliciting and Elevating Student Ideas
This study centers the idea that it is not just what science teacher educators (STEs) teach, but how they teach it, that matters. To prepare future teachers who can enact more equitable and transformative reform-oriented science instruction with multilingual learners, research must explore what STEs are doing, and how, to develop preservice teachers' expansive views of language and understandings…
