Transformative science teaching critiques mainstream models of science education for promoting the content areas and prioritizing their big ideas while failing to confront the role of science in making society inequitable and unsustainable. This presentation will share research and classroom examples to illustrate how science education might instead act as a catalyst for alternative futures.… Read More »
How do we transform our courses and curricula in ways to support learning by all? Rather than just providing supports to enable students to survive current practices, we need to think systemically. What is it about current practice that needs to change? Discipline-based education research points out changes needed within course pedagogy that could yield… Read More »
Children are naturally inquisitive and have a desire to explore the world around them. They ask questions and use their curiosity to inspire creative solutions. Early exposure to science is essential for experiencing the joy of science, understanding phenomena, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, fostering scientific literacy, and beginning to prepare for the STEM… Read More »
