Context-Dependent “Upper Anchors” for Learning Progressions

TL;DR: The authors argue for a shift from the predominant model of the upper anchor as the fixed, sophisticated way of thinking toward a more expansive "upper reach" that acknowledges plurality and context-dependence in ways of knowing.

Progresiones de aprendizaje: Promesa y potencial

TL;DR: Learning progressions are models that describe how students’ understanding of central concepts or ideas becomes more sophis-ticated over time as mentioned in this paper. But only a few learning progressions have been developed and validated in critical science areas.

The IQWST Experience: Using Coherence as a Design Principle for a Middle School Science Curriculum

TL;DR: The Investigating and Questioning our World through Science and Technology (IQWST) curriculum project as mentioned in this paper is built on five key aspects of coherence: learning goal coherence, intra-unit coherence between content learning goals, scientific practices, and curricular activities, inter-Unit coherence supporting multidisciplinary connections and dependencies, professional development and curriculum materials to support classroom enactment, and science literacy expectations and general literacy skills.

The Knowledge Integration Perspective on Learning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the nature of learning in general and science education in particular to develop what they call the knowledge inteception perspective on learning, and combine these two lenses to bring together studies that rely on quite different time frames.

Secondary Students’ Thinking about Familiar Phenomena: Learners’ explanations from a curriculum context where ‘particles’ is a key idea for organising teaching and learning

TL;DR: Particle models of matter are widely recognised as being of fundamental importance in many branches of modern science, and particle ideas are commonly introduced and developed in the secondary school curriculum as mentioned in this paper, however, research undertaken in a range of national contexts has identified significant learning difficulties in this topic, and suggests that notions of particles that match scientific models are generally only attained over periods of some years.
