Research in urban science education: An essential journey

Policy Research Initiative in Science Education

In 2010, the PRISE Research Group developed a new student outcome variable, SASS, using state measures of high school success in science and college readiness. This variable was used to determine the relationships of school support practices and teacher characteristics to positive student outcomes in science. New analyses completed during the 20102011 school year by the PRISE Research Group ind...

The Evolution of Research and Education Networks and their Essential Role in Modern Science

ESnet – the Energy Sciences Network – has the mission of enabling the aspects of the US Department of Energy’s Office of Science programs and facilities that depend on large collaborations and large-scale data sharing to accomplish their science. The Office of Science supports a large fraction of all U.S. physical science research and operates many large science instruments and supercomputers t...

Describing Computer Science Education Research: An Academic Process View

Changing conditions in universities include using new teaching models, and new technologies. The integration of new technology into computer science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) education programmes is often accompanied by studies which aim to understand and improve the teaching and learning process. How we evaluate the potential of emerging technologies and integrate them into teacher ...

Transforming Science Education at Large Research Universities

Science Education Research Using Advanced Recording Technologies

While A/V technology has gotten increasingly more cost-effective, its deployment in instructional settings has typically not taken best advantage of its capabilities, resulting in low quality data that hampers the analysis process. This paper will outline a two-year process of the design and evolution of recording technology packages for use in a range of science education instructional setting...
