Cultura Escolar

Investigamos os diferentes registros presentes em um caderno de Ciências sobre introdução ao estudo da Química e da Física, visando desvendar aspectos da cultura escolar. Detectamos nele as práticas mais comuns da escrita e seus usos: anotações, cópias e transcrições, sugestivas de prática de memorização de conteúdos de Ciências. A transcrição da oralidade também foi evidenciada. Desenhos e bilhetes apareceram como uma forma de personalizar o caderno, para além do lugar comum onde se copiam lições e se registram conceitos retirados dos livros ou explicados pelo professor. Sistematizamos, então, uma metodologia de análise de cadernos de Ciências que poderá ser aplicada à análise de um volume maior de cadernos e revelar aspectos relevantes das práticas docentes e discentes no ensino de Ciências e do cotidiano escolar. Palavras-chave: linguagem, ensino de ciências, cultura escolar, caderno escolar. Teaching and learning practices in sciences: methodological development for the perception of the various registers of daily school life We investigated the various registers, which appear on an introduction of a Chemistry and Physics notebook, to verify if they may disclose aspects of the school culture. We observed the most common procedures of writing and their uses: notations, copies and transcriptions, suggesting practices that favor scientific memorization contents. The transcription of oral language was also evident. Illustrations and notes appeared as a way to personalize the notebook, transforming it in something further than a place to copy lessons and to register concepts obtained from the textbook or the teacher explanations. We synthesized a methodology for notebook analysis that can be applied to a high number of notebooks and reveal relevant aspects of teachers and students’practices in Science education and school culture.

This paper is organized into two major parts: a review of current activities in science education, and a review of the articles within this special issue. Project 2061 (aaas) and the scope, sequence, and coordination project (nsta) are ongoing efforts to develop new approaches for school science programs. Other reports and journals in the science education field are described briefly. “Constructivism” and “alternative assessment” are two of the ideas science educators are currently exploring as ways to improve science teaching and learning. The last section includes brief reviews of each of the other papers in this issue with special focus on the science education dimension. There is much we can learn from each other.

Teachers Beliefs

Achievements of educational reform advantage constructivist understandings of teaching and learning, and therefore highlight a shift in beliefs of teachers and apply these perceptions to the real world. Science teachers’ beliefs have been crucial in understanding and reforming science education as beliefs of teachers regarding learning and teaching science impact their practice. The purpose of this study was to compare US and Turkish science teachers’ beliefs about reformed learning and teaching science. As an instrument, we used Beliefs about Reformed Science Teaching and Learning (BARSTL) to collect and measure the teachers’ beliefs regarding teaching and learning science education. We used an independent-sample t-test to analyze Turkish and American science teachers’ beliefs about reformed learning and teaching science. In total, 38 science teachers from the US and 27 science teachers from Turkey participated in this study. Results showed that US science teachers’ beliefs about reformed learning and teaching science are statistically higher than Turkish science teachers. The results of this study also indicated that although American and Turkish science education aim similar constructivist views on learning and teaching science, American science teachers hold more reformed beliefs in science teaching and learning than their Turkish colleagues.

Scientific Facts

In this paper we will discuss the issue of environmental advocacy in science education in light of William Hare’s concept of open-mindedness. Although we shall assume that science teaching and learning must go beyond the scientific facts and theories and deal with the implications of science for society, we shall argue that science education should also demand an open-mindedness about environmental concerns such that all proposals for sustainability and the like are weighed against the alternatives using the best scientific knowledge available. Our approach will be to describe two examples of environmental education that recommend insufficiently open-minded forms of teaching and a third example that avoids this shortcoming yet provides a sound basis in environmental education.

Module Design

Teachers face challenges in adopting ICT applications for science teaching and learning. An in-service teacher education course module addressing the needs of science teachers particularly was developed through a design-based research (DBR) project. The course module is designed to improve the readiness of teachers in choosing ICT applications for science education and taking the technical and pedagogical usability of the application into account. An international survey showed that clarifyingthe needs and constraints of using ICT applications in science education as well as introducing and discussing both technical and pedagogical usability with the teachers was important. Moreover, a theoretical analysis of the usability of ICT applications offers various views on meaningful learning and motivational aspects of science teaching and learning. In this paper, we report what we learned from the experience of designing the course module, which is described and discussed in terms of theoutcomes of both the theoretical and empirical problem analysis.

Dominant Paradigm

Constructivism has been widely adopted as a referent for research, curriculum development and recommended pedagogy in education. This chapter considers key issues relating to the adoption of constructivist thinking in education which have arisen within the field of science education. Constructivism has been mooted as a dominant paradigm in science education, where it has informed a major research programme over some decades. However, the application of constructivist ideas in science education has also been subject to a range of critiques. This chapter gives an outline of the developing influence of constructivism in science education, and the common understandings of the term in relation to science teaching and learning; it reports on the main areas where the influence of constructivist thinking has been heavily criticised, and discusses how these criticisms are countered within the research programme; it considers some major directions for research within the research programme; and it evaluates the level of influence of constructivism in contemporary science education practice.
