Research in science education

On science teaching and learning plays an important role in helping all students become proficient in science and making science education more equitable and inclusive, two goals called for in the framework for k–12 science education (nrc 2012). Nsta promotes a research agenda that is focused on the goal of enhancing student learning through effective and equitable teaching practices that are based on current research.

Nsta encourages all stakeholders in science education, including k–16 teachers of science and administrators, informal science educators, and school board members to recognize the importance of educational research, promote more research in schools, and participate in research when considers a broad range of activities to be within the scope of research, including research conducted by teachers that can lead to immediate classroom changes as well as research that contributes to a larger body of knowledge such as long-term or large-scale studies. Research on science teaching and learning involves identifying and asking appropriate questions, designing and conducting investigations, collecting evidence, drawing conclusions, and communicating and defending findings (nsta 2004).

Produce research that has meaningful outcomes and the ability to improve the teaching and learning of science, nsta advocates that research and practice be linked and support compatible goals. This synergistic relationship between research and practice includes teachers and researchers communicating goals, activities, and findings with the greater science education community in ways that make research accessible, understandable, meaningful, and relevant to teachers, administrators, and policy process of research is the essence of the scientific enterprise and of scientific inquiry.

By engaging in continual inquiry into teaching and learning, we can promote scientific literacy for students in the 21st makes the following recommendations to promote effective research on science teaching and ing the focus of research on science teaching and learning, nsta recommends those conducting e questions that are relevant to enhancing science teaching and learning for all learners;. Areas that have either been insufficiently investigated or not investigated at all and have the potential to improve what is known about science teaching and learning; theories of science teaching and learning in order to contribute to a coherent body of ing the practice of research on science teaching and learning, nsta recommends those conducting and build upon previous research that may exist in the area of study;.

On studies that build on promising areas of research and link to a larger body of work;. In rigorous peer review that challenges the status quo and values varying perspectives on research pertaining to science teaching and learning;.

Everyday experiences as opportunities to conduct research that yields findings to improve teaching practices and student learning;. The participants in research with ample professional development to enhance their ability to design, conduct, interpret, and apply science education research; research results with the wider science education community inside and outside the ing the use of research on science teaching and learning, nsta chers communicate about research in ways that can be understood and embraced by science educators, administrators, policy makers, and others in the science education community;.

Make research readily accessible by disseminating it to teachers and other decision makers using many forms of communication, including practitioner journals, professional conferences, websites, and social media;. Researchers have ample administrative support, time, and resources to conduct research in the classroom, share their findings with colleagues, and implement results to improve student learning; e educators embrace a culture of inquiry grounded in research that focuses on examining practice and improving student outcomes.
