• In Event: AERA Poster Session Three
  In Poster Session: Division C Science Poster Session Two

Abstract

Between 2020 and 2022, a series of studies and reviews reported adverse effects from the policy-suggested ways of engaging students in investigation activities and raised an urgent call
for looking closely into the ‘integration’, particularly the ones suggested by NGSS. The present study compares high and low performing countries and examines how different they are in incorporating scientific investigation activities and science content knowledge in classroom teaching. The authors of this study will review these recently published controversial studies and share detailed concerns with teaching science through NGSS in hope of presenting a unique perspective to engage audience at the conference.
