摘要

Innovative, research-based professional development is needed to help teachers implement science and engineering education in elementary schools. This is a challenging task, particularly for teachers who many have little familiarity with either science inquiry or the engineering design process (EDP), and who may not have developed the instructional strategies needed to facilitate student inquiry and engagement in EDP. In the Partnership to Improve Student Achievement (PISA) study, 43 grade 3-5 teachers in New Jersey participated in a two-week summer workshop, three workshops during the school year, and received monthly classroom support visits, which comprised one year of instructional activities in a three-year professional development program. The study also included 737 students taught by teachers in the treatment group, 35 teachers in the comparison group, and 684 students taught by teachers in the comparison group. We analyzed pre- and post-tests of teachers and students in both groups and teacher activity implementation surveys. Results from the pre- and post-tests showed that the treatment teachers significantly increased their content knowledge in science and engineering compared to the comparison group. Similarly, post-test scores of students in the treatment group were significantly higher than the post-test scores of students in the comparison group. Teachers noted that scientific inquiry and the engineering design process promoted 21st century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication among students. Finally, further data analysis revealed that the number of PISA lessons that teachers implemented in their classrooms was a significant predictor of students' test scores. In this paper, we report on the professional development model that we used and the results of our study.
