The paper we are going to write next will serve two complementary purposes:
1. Preparation for the panel / interactive poster at NARST that is part of a session called “Engaging with Teachers around Science Education Research.” – I will bring a document that describes what everyone promised to speak about to our meeting tomorrow.
2. A chapter for a book called “Educational Change.” - I will bring the call for chapters I received to our meeting tomorrow.
Bottom line – this manuscript needs to look across the 5 core elements for 474:
- Interactive course map
- Weekly blog posts
- Peer-to-peer interviews
- Action research
- Stimulated recall of a reform-based lesson
So what questions could we ask that would cut acorss these five data sources and look at the question organzing the panel/poster session?
- In what ways were each of these experiences successful or not at engaging teachers in making connections between research and practice?
- To what extent to teachers’ stated priorities, instructional design, and day-to-day implementation align with research-based principles?
- What research do these teachers make most use of as they engage in these efforts to implement reform?
