MSSE Master of Science in Science Education
23rd Annual Symposium in Science Education montana.edu/msse July 6th — 9th, 2021 MSU - Bozeman Jabs Hall 311 & 415 451 Reid Hall Bozeman, MT 59717 History Master of Science in Science Education Program
In May of 1996, the Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education approved a new degree, the Master of Science in Science Education (MSSE), designed for science educators interested in graduate study while remaining employed. It is unusual in two important ways. First, it is an intercollege, interdisciplinary effort. Five colleges, The Graduate School, and sixteen departments collaborate to offer this innovative degree. Second, over eighty percent of the course credits needed to complete the degree are offered by distance learning in structured interactive courses using asynchronous, computer mediated instruction. While direct oversight of the program was provided by the Graduate School from inception to 2016, the program was moved to the College of Letters and Science July 1, 2016. In addition to completing core courses in education, those seeking the degree develop interdisciplinary combinations of science courses from offerings in biology, chemistry, Earth science, ecology, engineering, microbiology, physics, plant science, and other science content areas. All graduates complete a capstone project in their final year.
Norm Reed, Coordinator 1996 - 1998, artfully handled admissions for the first two cohorts, oversaw design and development of core classes, and overall implementation of the program.
Carol Thoresen, Coordinator 1999 - 2007, grew the program from 25 to about 60 students per year. Larger enrollment allowed for a wider variety of science course offerings. Carol worked with instructors and researchers to develop over 25 new program courses.
Peggy Taylor, Director 2007 - 2016, was a graduate of the program’s first cohort and brought a unique perspective to its administration. Contributions included expansion of the program’s targeted populations, strengthening the program’s framework through continuous evaluation processes, and increasing course offerings as well as involvement of science MSU faculty.
Gregory Francis, Director 2016 - 2020, is a tenured professor in the Physics Department. When the MSSE Program first began in 1996, Greg was one of the original core science faculty in the physics content area. He currently leads the MSSE Steering Committee and is the Chairman of the 2021 MSSE Graduate Candidate Programs of Study.
Diana Paterson, Associate Director 2002 - 2019. She provided critical recruiting and advising support to off- campus graduate students. Diana skillfully managed the MSSE office and staff. She retired in 2019.
Jessi Anderson, the current Faculty Lead Instructor, is also a Core Instructor and the formatting expert for Capstone Papers. Jessi is an MSSE Graduate and has extensive experience working with teachers and online instruction.
Maddie Felts, Assistant Director, started with MSSE in 2019. Responsibilities include overall academic advising for MSSE students as well as general operational and logistical support.
John Graves, the current Director, has been a core MSSE instructor since 2003. He served as Lead Program Faculty from 2009-2020.

MSSE Capstone Project
Each Master of Science in Science Education (MSSE) student, with the cooperation of his/her graduate committee, identifies and completes a capstone project. Each project is designed to provide experience and information that aids our understanding of science teaching-learning or science curriculum. The capstone project topic is generally identified early in the student’s graduate program. A student begins the project, which generally relates to science education in the MSSE student’s educational setting, in the fall of the final year by submitting a proposal to his/her advisor. The results of each student’s project are summarized in a written professional paper completed and presented in the student’s final summer session. The MSSE Steering Committee, faculty, and staff congratulate these deserving graduate students for their persistence to pursue a graduate degree, while continuing full-time employment as science educators. A special thank you to Dr. Greg Francis for serving as the Chairman of the 2021 MSSE Graduate Committee.

Results indicate that the use of mindfulness and social emotional learning significantly improves student academic performance and classroom culture, while also having a marginally positive impact on student self-efficacy.
9 am Kimberly Dean - Salt Lake City, UT Graves Nibley Park School, Salt Lake City, UT Studying Science in the Outdoors Influences Student Interest, Engagement, and Cognition Students studied the Jordan River Watershed by snowshoeing up Big Cottonwood Canyon and two trips to the Jordan River. At the monitoring site, students made observations, performed water chemistry analyses and sampled for macroinvertebrates. A water quality monitoring test, science motivation survey questionnaire, science attitude survey and individual student interviews were used as data collection instruments. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis strategies were used to process data. Results are pending the completion of the treatment.
10 am Adam Kahan - Siem Reap, Cambodia Woolbaugh Jay Pritzker Academy, Siem Reap Cambodia The Impact of Including a Renewable Energy Theme on Physics Education and Perception of Meaning A renewable energy theme was incorporated into an AP Physics class. Renewable energy linked assignments, articles, videos, and discussion developed the theme. The Force Concept Inventory and class exams tracked progress in physics. Surveys and interviews gathered data on perception of meaning. The results suggest that the theme neither facilitated nor interfered with the learning of physics. Learning physics, however, improved their understanding of renewable energy topics. Overall students found the theme meaningful and relevant.
10 am Ka Yan Christine Cheung - Hong Kong SAR, China Reuer HKCCCU Logos Academy, New Territories, Hong Kong The Effect of Garden-Based Learning (GBL) on Learning Plant Science and Environmental Attitude Comparing with students in the control group, students in the treatment group learned plant science through a gardening program with practical in the garden and a 6-week home gardening in addition to traditional lectures. Pre- and post-assessment, surveys, interviews, journals, and field notes were used as data collection instruments. Data were processed using the triangulation mixed-method which involved both quantitative and qualitative analysis strategies. The results suggested that GBL enhances student’s engagement in learning plant science and environmental attitude.
12 pm Dylan Nelson - Rigby, ID Woolbaugh Farnsworth Middle School, Rigby, ID Self-Assessment in the Engineering Classroom The effectiveness of self-assessment was tested in a middle school engineering classroom. The curriculum of the class was set up as a spiral curriculum. During each unit of the trimester of testing all engineering students defined the engineering problem. After defining the problem students in the treatment group self-assessed on how well they defined the problem. Data from the study showed the self-assessment improved student achievement, boosted student confidence, and positively influenced the author’s teaching practices.

A mixed-methods design utilized surveys, interviews, and learning outcome data from several years to compare the effects of these changes. The changes to the lab pedagogy resulted in increased student motivation, engagement, and preparedness. There was also a significant increase in student learning outcomes, and, an additional unexpected result due to social distancing.
7 am Amy Steele - Olympia, WA Graves Cornerstone Christian School, Lacey, WA Claim, Evidence and Reasoning in the Science Classroom A process-oriented, guided inquiry learning activity was used to supplement normal class activities in scientific argumentation inquiry activities. Pre- and post-tests, surveys, background knowledge probes and a claim, evidence and reasoning argumentation rubric were used as data collection instruments. Data were processed using both quantitative and qualitative analysis strategies. The results suggested that students made slight gains in abilities to connect reasoning to evidence supporting a claim.
8 am Briana Faxon - Poulsbo, WA Reuer Bremerton High School, Bremerton, WA The Effect of Place-Based Learning Experiences on Science Identity, Attitude, and Achievement in a Remote Learning Environmental Science Classroom Advanced Placement Environmental Science students engaged in place-based lessons remotely and asynchronously developed authentic research projects that impacted their local ecosystems. This work was delivered to stakeholders within the community. Scientific questioning, explanations, and graphing, as well as surveys and interviews were used as data collection instruments throughout remote learning. The results suggested that place-based learning experiences helped students stay connected to science processes and their community, even during the challenges of remote learning.
9 am Gabriel Calvi - Monkton, VT Woolbaugh South Burlington High School, South Burlington, VT The Impacts of Global Information Systems (GIS) Learning Activities on High School Science Students’ Attitudes and Behaviors High School Earth Science curriculum was presented to students with a mix of hands-on and computer based learning including Global Information Systems (GIS) software. Student observations, surveys, interviews and rates of assignment completion were used as data collection instruments. The data provided a qualitative and quantitative review of student attitudes and patterns of behavior. The results showed a preference for hands-on learning, and GIS improved student engagement when compared to other computer based learning.
9 am Rodney A. Knowlton II - Lombard, IL Graves Metea Valley High School, Aurora, IL Mastery Learning in High School Biology Students engaged in a self-paced mastery learning method, while still focusing on the NGSS standards for curriculum in biology. The concepts covered included the scientific method, molecular biology, cell biology and ecosystem ecology. Pre- and post-content tests, surveys, interviews and a comparison of student grades were used as collection instruments. Data were processed using both quantitative and qualitative analysis strategies. The results suggested that students preferred this method qualitatively, but the analysis of higher achievement with quantitative data is ambiguous.
11 am Emily Keegan - Sidney, MT Woolbaugh Sidney High School, Sidney, MT How Does the Use of the Anatomage Table Impact Student Understanding of Anatomy and Physiology Concepts Students used the Anatomage table during skeletal/muscular system units. In unit one, a control group (no table) and an experimental group used the table. In the second unit, the groups switched, so each group got to use the table. Pre and post-test data, surveys, interviews, and retention tests were the data collection tools used. The results suggest that the Anatomage table does have benefits for some students but made little difference to the higher achieving students in the class.

12 pm Alison Bowers - Alexandria, SD Graves Hanson High School, Alexandria, SD A Case Study on Science Identity K-12 teachers were surveyed to measure their existing science teacher identity, confidence teaching science, and comfort using NGSS 3-D teaching practices. Students were surveyed to measure their science identity. Teachers and students were selected for interviews and observations to understand the relationship between teachers’ science identities and classroom practices and their students’ science identities. Preliminary results indicate that student science identities vary widely and departmentalized teachers tend to have stronger science teacher identities than teachers who teach all content areas.
1 pm Elizabeth Roxanne Ronquillo - Fresno, CA Woolbaugh Central East High School, Fresno, CA Using Case Studies to Help Chemistry Student Understand Science Concepts The study incorporated the use of a case study to help students connect what they were learning in class to real world scenarios. The study looked at students given a case study versus student not given a case study. Overall, the case study groups did not score any better on the Unit Exam compared to the non-case study group. But the case study showed those students how real-world scenarios fit into their daily learning in the classroom.
2 pm Mike Hill - Apex, NC Graves Green Level High School, Cary, NC Learning Progressions in the Science Classroom Learning progressions were used for two units to engage students in self-evaluation and organization of learning. The learning progressions were specific to units of the geosphere and atmosphere in an Earth and environmental science class. Pre and post content assessments, diagnostic learning logs and student interview data were collected. Data was processed using both quantitative and qualitative analysis strategies. The results suggested that students made gains in abilities to demonstrate content knowledge as well as an increase in confidence.
3 pm Sarah Davis - Palatine, IL Woolbaugh Glenbrook South High School, Glenview, IL The Effect of Standards Based Grading on the Developing Growth Mindset in a High School Physics Classroom A new form of grading, e-learning, and a global pandemic. If there was ever a year to develop a growth mindset, this one would be it. In this study, I used a standards-based grading model which focuses on frequent assessment to demonstrate content mastery followed by immediate feedback. Surveys, interviews, and assessment results were used as data collection instruments. The results suggest that with SBG, students responded more positively to feedback, retained more content information and grew in their willingness to take on challenges.
Friday, July 9th
7 am Jamie MacDonald – Amesbury, MA Woolbaugh John Greenleaf Whittier Middle School, Haverhill, MA The Efficacy of Digital Science Notebooks in Fifth Grade Remote Classroom This study was designed based on the remote nature of learning during a global pandemic. Studies often show physical interactive science notebooks as an effective teaching tool in the elementary and middle school classrooms. In a remote setting, students created science notebooks in a digital format using their Google Drive where they kept assignments, classwork, and notes. The study shows that the use of digital science notebooks versus physical science notebooks proved to be ineffective in the students’ learning.
7 am Susie Dobkins - Billings, MT Graves Lockwood Middle School, Lockwood, MT Using Novels in Middle School Science: A Study of Socioscientific Issues Seventh grade science students were given a survey asking them to answer questions relating to global-mindedness, perspective-taking, socioscientific reasoning, and science concepts.

Marilyn Raming - Tempe, AZ Graves Tempe High School, Tempe, AZ The Effects of Student Achievement in Science Class after the Implementation of Remediation Techniques Post Formative Assessment As distance learning was implemented throughout the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, student achievement and participation decreased. In order to address this problem, students were given the opportunity to participate in remediation exercises and assessment retakes. The students who participated showed an increase in their understanding of the learning target and their participation had a positive increase in their grade by approximately a full letter grade. Numerous data collection techniques in addition to qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques were implemented. The results suggest that the remediation techniques had a positive effect on student achievement and their overall course grade.
Anna Seltzer - White Salmon, WA Graves Lyle Secondary School, Lyle, WA Concept Map Based Assessment in the Middle School Science Classroom Middle school students were asked to create concept maps at the commencement and conclusion of a science unit. The two completed concept maps served as pre and post tests for the unit of study. Students were then asked to reflect on their growth, using the initial and final concept maps as reference.
Dylan Gamache - Fitchburg, MA Reuer Leominster High School, Leominster, MA Exploring the Impact of Remote Learning on Student Engagement and Communication in Science and Other Classes During the COVID-19 pandemic students pivoted from one learning model to the next, switching between remote, hybrid, and in-person schedules. Students and teachers were surveyed and interviewed to explore how remote learning impacted student engagement and communication in the classroom during the 2020-2021 school year. Data were analyzed through qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results suggested that students were less engaged in their academic work, and communicated less meaningfully with their peers and teachers.
