Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is an interdisciplinary collaborative study among researchers in learning sciences and science education. The purpose of the study is to develop science teacher education programs using learning progressions (LPs). LPs are “descriptions of the successively more sophisticated ways of thinking about a topic that can follow one another as children learn about and investigate a topic over a broad span of time.” (NRC, 2007). LPs are utilized to determine the stepping stone ideas or productive failures which significantly enable development of scientific proficiency. The result of the study is to propose a standard for science teacher education programs using learning progressions, and develop cases of science teacher education programs based on the standard.
