Models of Teaching for Conceptual Understanding and the Effects on Learning Science Concepts
Teaching science concepts for conceptual understanding has its challenges. Promoting conceptual change in the science classroom can be difficult because most concepts are complicated and counter-intuitive. This dissertation research aimed to determine the effect of teaching for conceptual understanding models on pre-service teachers’ conceptual understanding and grade 8 science students in five different countries. The analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between the conceptual change model and the conceptual understanding of the pre-service teacher participants. The results supported the effectiveness of the conceptual change model, CCM, in addressing misconceptions and promoting conceptual understanding of forces and motion among the pre-service teacher participants that volunteered for this research. The second study investigated the effectiveness of the CCM in addressing pre-service elementary teachers’ misconceptions and promoting conceptual understanding of electrostatics. The results showed that the CCM moderately correlated with participants’ conceptual understanding of electrostatics. The third study examined the usage of teaching for conceptual understanding practices and its effects on students' science achievement scores across five industrialized countries. TIMSS 2015 and 2019 data were used to investigate eighth-grade science teachers’ use of teaching for conceptual understanding practices. However, the statistical analysis showed that teaching for conceptual understanding had a negative effect on students' science achievement in most of the countries used in the study. This research contributes to the literature on the effect of the conceptual change model and teaching for conceptual understanding on learning science concepts.

"Models of Teaching is a great asset for beginning teachers as they integrate their pre-service training with the standards-based curricula in schools." —Amany Saleh, Arkansas State University "Rarely have I read a text from cover to cover...however, your text provided an abundance of effective teaching strategies in ways that better informed my own teaching...I was compelled to read through the entire test! Great job!" —Carolyn Andrews, Student at University of Nevada, Reno "This is a practical text that focuses on current practices in education and demonstrates how various models of teaching can address national standards." —Marsha Zenanko, Jacksonville State University "Models of Teaching provides excellent case studies that will enable students to ′see′ models of teaching in practice in the classroom." —Margaret M. Ferrara, University of Nevada, Reno Models of Teaching: Connecting Student Learning With Standards features classic and contemporary models of teaching appropriate to elementary and secondary settings. Authors Jeanine M. Dell′Olio and Tony Donk use detailed case studies to discuss 10 models of teaching and demonstrate how the models can incorporate state content standards and benchmarks, as well as technology standards. This book provides students with a theoretical and practical understanding of how to use models of teaching to both meet and exceed the growing expectations for research-based instructional practices and student achievement. Key Features Shows how each model looks and sounds in classrooms at all levels: Each model is illustrated with two detailed case studies (elementary and secondary) and post-lesson reflections. Offers detailed descriptions of the phases of each model: Each model is accompanied by a detailed chart and discussion of the steps of the model. Applies technology standards and performance indicators: Each chapter addresses how the particular model can be implemented to meet technology standards and performance indicators. Connects philosophies of curriculum and instruction: This book connects each model to a philosophy of curriculum and instruction that undergirds that model so teachers understand both how to teach and why. Promotes student interaction with the text: Exercises at the end of each chapter provide the opportunity for beginning teachers to work directly with core curricula from their own state, and/or local school district curricula. Each model is illustrated with two detailed case studies (elementary and secondary) and post-lesson reflections. A High Quality Ancillary Package! Instructors′ Resource CD-ROM—This helpful CD-ROM offers PowerPoint slides, an electronic test bank, Web resources, a teaching guide for the case studies, lesson plan template instructions, and much more. Qualified instructors can request a copy by contacting SAGE Customer Care at 1-800-818-SAGE (7243) from 6am–5pm, PT. Student Study Site — This study site provides practice tests, flash cards, a lesson plan template, suggested assignments, links to state content and technology standards, field experience guides, and much more. Intended Audience: This is an excellent core textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying Elementary and/or Secondary Teaching Methods in the field of Education.
Handbook of Research on Science Education, Volume II
Building on the foundation set in Volume I—a landmark synthesis of research in the field—Volume II is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art new volume highlighting new and emerging research perspectives. The contributors, all experts in their research areas, represent the international and gender diversity in the science education research community. The volume is organized around six themes: theory and methods of science education research; science learning; culture, gender, and society and science learning; science teaching; curriculum and assessment in science; science teacher education. Each chapter presents an integrative review of the research on the topic it addresses—pulling together the existing research, working to understand the historical trends and patterns in that body of scholarship, describing how the issue is conceptualized within the literature, how methods and theories have shaped the outcomes of the research, and where the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps are in the literature. Providing guidance to science education faculty and graduate students and leading to new insights and directions for future research, the Handbook of Research on Science Education, Volume II is an essential resource for the entire science education community.
