Resource | Learning to teach mathematics in urban high schools: untangling the threads of interwoven narratives
In this article, the authors explore learning about equity pedagogy in mathematics by focusing on the experiences of a teacher and teacher educator within the Centering the Teaching of Mathematics on Urban Youth project. One teacher’s story is interwoven as a counterpoint and specific trajectory within the broader narrative provided by the teacher educator. Key themes addressed include the…

Resource | Investigating How Setting Up Cognitively Demanding Tasks is Related to Opportunities to Learn in Middle-Grades Mathematics Classrooms
In this paper we focus on what happens when a task is first introduced to students as a crucial phase of instruction. We report on an empirical study of 132 middle grades mathematics teachers' instruction—in particular, the nature of the ways in which they introduced tasks, and the relationship between how they introduced tasks and the nature of students' opportunities to learn mathematics in the…

Resource | Interactive Heat Transfer Simulations for Everyone
Heat transfer is widely taught in secondary Earth science and physics. Researchers have identified many misconceptions related to heat and temperature. These misconceptions primarily stem from hunches developed in everyday life (though the confusions in terminology often worsen them). Interactive computer simulations that visualize thermal energy, temperature distribution, and heat transfer may…

Resource | Including English Language Learners in the Process of Test Development: A Study on Instrument Linguistic Adaptation for Cognitive Validity
This paper reports preliminary results from an investigation, still in progress, on the use of verbal protocols among native Spanish-speaking, English language learners (ELLs) of various proficiency levels and background characteristics. We focus on language use among ELLs during various stages of a cognitive interview designed to probe whether and how studentsbenefitted from the inclusion of…

Resource | Illustrations with Graphic Devices in Large-Scale Science Assessments: An Exploratory Cross-Cultural Study of Students’ Interpretations
In this exploratory, cross-cultural study, we examined students’ interpretations of graphic devise-based illustrations used in science tests. Graphic devices are visual components (e.g., arrows, dotted lines) intended to ensure proper understanding of the scientific processes or phenomena represented by the illustrations. We address cultural differences in terms of the interaction of two factors…

Resource | Fostering Knowledge Use in STEM Education: A Brief on R&D Partnerships with Districts and Schools
Produced by a CADRE work group of NSF-supported researchers and developers, this practice brief makes a case for substantive partnerships between STEM education R&D projects and districts and schools. Despite leading a wide variety of projects, the authors have found that these kinds of partnerships can enhance the quality, relevance, and usability of project outcomes, with implications for…
