| Providing meaningful learning experiences for students within the elementary grades is essential as Americans strive for academic excellence. Unfortunately in this age of standards-based instruction, many elementary teachers focus extensively on literacy, in the process marginalizing science education for their students. To help reverse this trend, the Talawanda School District recently implemented inquiry-based learning cycles specifically designed to link the teaching of science and literacy through science-themed trade books. Case studies were conducted with three elementary teachers who were involved in the implementation of the inquiry-based learning cycles. Results regarding teacher knowledge about the particulate nature of matter, self-efficacy, and pedagogical content knowledge will be presented. |
