Modeling-based Learning in Pre-School Science: Affordances of Different Types...European University-Cyprus
Despite its proven added value, Modeling-based Learning (MbL) in science is not commonly incorporated into early grades science education. Following a growing body of research on using MbL in early grades, this multi-case study seeks to provide detailed descriptions of the implementation of MbL with 3 groups of pre-K children engaged in the study of three different phenomena, taught by 3 different teachers participating in a professional development program of pre-school science education. Findings across the different cases suggest that these pre-school children successfully engaged in authentic MbL activities and developed several different types of models using knowledge and experiences, as well as a variety of features of both analogical and mechanistic reasoning, agreeing with prior research of MbL with pre-school children. I use this evidence to argue that (a) different modeling/representation tools may afford different learning opportunities; (b) preschool children have modeling resources that can use in order to utilize different modeling/representation tools using MbL in natural ways of young children learning (e.g., playing). I also discuss implications related to the notion that educators may find it productive to choose among these tools depending on the children’s prior modeling experiences and the mechanism(s) to be represented.

SRI Research Study on Project-Based Inquiry Science Curriculum (June 2014)IT'S ABOUT TIME®
New NSF-backed, Independent Research Study Shows Project-Based Inquiry Curriculum Materials Has a Positive Effect on How Students Learn Science and on Leveling the STEM Playing Field.
NSF-backed study is the first to examine use by middle-school teachers and students of science curriculum aligned with the new Framework for K-12 Science Education and Next Generation Science Standards. The study used an NGSS-aligned curriculum called Project-Based Inquiry Science™ published by IT’S ABOUT TIME®.
The most profound finding to come out of the study indicates that students taught using project-based inquiry curriculum aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) substantially outperformed students taught using a traditional science curriculum. The results of the research have broad-reaching implications for the entire education spectrum — from classroom and student engagement, to teacher Professional Development, to education policies at the state and national level.
The independent, randomized controlled study conducted by SRI International*, compared the impact of the research-based, NGSS-aligned curriculum called Project-based Inquiry Science™ (“PBIS”), published by IT’S ABOUT TIME® (“IAT”), to traditional science curriculum materials for middle-school students in a large and diverse urban school district. The study focused on two areas of science: earth science (processes that shape the Earth’s surface) and physical science (energy).
3 Big Takeaways
1. Success: Students taught using the Project-based Inquiry Science curriculum materials outperformed students who were taught using standard science curriculum materials.
2. The Great Equalizer: Project-based Inquiry Science curriculum can help close the learning gaps among students of underrepresented demographics in STEM fields and level the field between girls and boys.
3. Teacher/Student Engagement Increases: The study shows that PBIS teachers in the study (who were all new to the curriculum) were more likely to engage their students.

This study aimed to improve the academic achievement of 22 grade 11 biology students at Jaffna Hindu College in Sri Lanka. The students had declining marks in biology over the past three terms. Data was collected through surveys, interviews, tests, and attendance records. Various methods were used to improve achievement, including extra classes, field trips, multimedia lessons, and a nature club. Analysis found that pre-test scores correlated with attendance. Post-test scores increased for all students after the interventions. The study concluded the methods were effective but had limitations due to sample size and timeframe. Further research on additional factors and larger populations was recommended.
The theories of language acquisition include Chomsky's theory that children are born with an innate language acquisition device, Crystal's theory that acquisition occurs in 5 stages from babbling to expressing opinions, the functional theory that language has experiential and participative meanings, and the interactionist theory that both biological and social factors influence development through interaction. Behaviorism views acquisition as dependent on imitation and reinforcement while the structural view analyzes language as a system of phonological, grammatical, and lexical elements.

Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
