Understanding Teacher Learning and Practice in Science Education

Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Poster Hall - Exhibit Hall A

Session Type: Poster Session

Abstract

This session examines how teachers develop the ability to teach science with adaptability, insight, and expertise in preservice and in-service contexts. These posters examine how educators draw on pedagogical content knowledge, learning progressions, modeling practices, and practical wisdom to design, enact, and refine science instruction. Using design-based, mixed-methods, and qualitative approaches, these studies highlight the dynamic interplay between teacher knowledge, in-the-moment decision-making, and student sensemaking. Together, they reveal teaching as a complex, evolving practice. This practice requires professional learning, reflection, and responsiveness to build teachers’ capacity to support three-dimensional and inquiry-based learning.
