Critical Science Education in a Suburban High School Chemistry ClassAshby, Patrick Decla January 2016 (has links)
To improve students’ scientific literacy and their general perceptions of chemistry, I enacted critical chemistry education (CCE) in two “regular level” chemistry classes with a group of 25 students in a suburban, private high school as part of this study. CCE combined the efforts of critical science educators (Fusco & Calabrese Barton, 2001; Gilbert 2013) with the performance expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) (NGSS Lead States, 2013a) to critically transform the traditional chemistry curriculum at this setting. Essentially, CCE engages students in the critical exploration of socially situated chemistry content knowledge and requires them to demonstrate this knowledge through the practices of science. The purpose of this study was to gauge these students development of chemistry content knowledge, chemistry interest, and critical scientific literacy (CSL) as they engaged in CCE. CSL was a construct developed for this study that necessarily combined the National Research Center’s (2012) definition of scientific literacy with a critical component. As such, CSL entailed demonstrating content knowledge through the practices of science as well as the ability to critically analyze the intersections between science content and socially relevant issues. A mixed methods, critical ethnographic approach framed the collection of data from open-ended questionnaires, focus group interviews, Likert surveys, pre- and post unit tests, and student artifacts. These data revealed three main findings: (1) students began to develop CSL in specific, significant ways working through the activities of CCE, (2) student participants of CCE developed a comparable level of chemistry content understanding to students who participated in a traditional chemistry curriculum, and (3) CCE developed a group of students’ perceptions of interest in chemistry. In addition to being able to teach students discipline specific content knowledge, the implications of this study are that CCE has the ability to affect students’ critical science thinking in positive ways. However, to develop longer lasting, deeper critical insights that students use to participate in science-related issues outside of class, critical science education must be enacted longitudinally and across disciplines. Furthermore, it must be enacted in ways that either prompt or help students to transfer classroom learning outside of the classroom as they engage in critical issues in the classroom.

The context of problem tasks in school physical science.Hobden, Paul Anthony. January 1999 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to extend our current knowledge about what
happens in physical science classrooms. The focus was the context of problem
tasks. This involved the study of the situations, events and factors that relate to
the solving of problem tasks at high school in order to understand their role and
nature. e problem tasks that were central to this study were well defined,
narrow in focus, and invariably involved the calculation of some quantity through
the use of a formula and algebraic manipulation.
The main questions that guided the study were as follows: What is happening in
physical science classrooms? What is the nature and role of problem solving within
this context? What are some of the consequences of organising teaching and
learning in this manner? How do external forces influence what happens? The
study aimed at describing the activities that the teachers and students were
involved in and understanding how they understood their own actions. An
interpretive research approach was chosen for this purpose, having as its basis a
detailed descriptive foundation using classroom observation.
Two high school science classrooms were studied in detail over a period of a year.
The data gathered included field notes from over a hundred classroom visits,
extensive video and audio records, questionnaires, classroom documents and
formal an informal interviews with teachers, students and examiners. Through a
process of careful and systematic analysis of the data, six assertions emerged.
These assertions are supported by both particular evidence in the form of analytic
narrative vignettes, quotes and extracts, and general evidence consisting of
frequency data and summary tables.
The analysis reveals that problem tasks occupied most of the teaching and
learning time, and that the students found this experience of school science boring.
Most of the problem tasks were routine in nature and of low conceptual demand.
The majority of the students were unable to solve the more difficult tasks
encountered in their tests and examinations. In addition, a significant number
could not solve the routine problem tasks. This suggests that the predominant
instructional strategies were ineffective. It was found that participants had an
uncritical belief in the efficacy of teacher explanations and student practice on
problem tasks. Further, the participants had different views of the role of problem
tasks. A significant finding was that the examination exerted a powerful focusing
influence on the classroom environment, the instructional activities and on the
problem tasks used . It appeared that the ultimate goal of school physical science
was to solve these types of problem task in preparation for the high stakes
examination, rather than the learning of science.
The study has implications both for practice and for research on the teaching and
learning of school physical science. These implications are discussed in terms of
instructional strategies aimed at promoting a deeper understanding of physical
science. In order to improve practice it is advocated that the role of problem tasks
in learning science be made explicit while at the same time new types of
instructional task need to be designed to achieve our goals for school science. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1999.
