Themes, Resources And Uptake Of Acer’S Science In The Early Years Suite, Gayl O'Connor
Themes, Resources And Uptake Of Acer’S Science In The Early Years Suite, Gayl O'Connor
2021-2030 ACER Research Conferences
The Science in the early years series was developed to assist preschool and Foundation to year 2 primary educators to incorporate the latest research in science learning into their programs and teaching practice. This paper focuses on the educator resources developed to support early years educators implement activities to assist children to develop science concepts and inquiry skills. The activities are underpinned by evidence-based research that revealed 4 themes in the early years’ science literature.
A Model For How Students Choose Or Reject Subjects At School And What It Means For Science, Tracey-Ann Palmer
A Model For How Students Choose Or Reject Subjects At School And What It Means For Science, Tracey-Ann Palmer
2009 - 2019 ACER Research Conferences
There has been concern expressed by educators, researchers and policymakers that too few students are choosing science in their final years of school. Science study at school has been linked to the supply of a scientifically skilled and literate workforce necessary for Australia’s prosperity into the 21st century. This study breaks new ground in exploring how students choose subjects for their final years of school and applying this to the choice of science. Specific strategies are suggested to encourage students to continue studying science at the time subjects are chosen.

Activating Teachers’ Creativity And Moral Purpose In Science Education, Martin Westwell, Sonia Cooke
2009 - 2019 ACER Research Conferences
Over the last three years, the Scientist in Residence program (a collaboration between the Department of Education and Child Development, and Flinders University) investigated a model of professional learning in science education that capitalised upon teachers’ moral purpose and drove their creativity. Insight into how teachers transformed their science classrooms is provided through examples of activities, work samples and clips of teachers describing how they changed their practice and how that, in turn, changed the engagement and achievement of the children. These resources will serve to illustrate some of the principles of practice that the teachers drew upon. In particular, …

American Association for the Advancement of Science Pacific Conference
Studies have shown that integrating math and science makes learning more connected and relevant and has a positive impact on student attitudes and interest in school, their motivation to learn, and achievement.
Engineering is becoming more prevalent in K-12 schools and can provide great problem solving opportunities for students to learn about mathematics, science, and technology while working through the engineering design process.

Paper 3: Using Technology To Design Teaching Modules In Mathematics And Science, Ollie Irons Manley
Paper 3: Using Technology To Design Teaching Modules In Mathematics And Science, Ollie Irons Manley
Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (GAMTE) Annual Conference
Technology is changing the way in which mathematics and science are taught, and this radical transformation in teaching is causing teachers to take a closer look at how lessons are designed. In an effort to demonstrate how to design instructional modules using technology, this paper will include the following: 1)A review of the National Educational Technology Standards for teachers to establish a framework for the development of the teaching modules; 2)instructional designs and techniques with special emphasis on multiple intelligence and critical thinking skills; 3) strategies and techniques for infusing technology into a standard based curriculum; and 4) an analysis …
