2015 NARST Annual International Conference 9 General Information

Information about NARST The National Association for Research in Science Teaching was founded in 1928 for the purpose of promoting research in science education at all educational levels and disseminating the findings of this research in such ways as to improve science teaching and learning. The Association is incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the State of Minnesota. The official publication is the Journal of Research in Science Teaching. NARST encourages presentations of a wide variety of investigations in all aspects of science education, including action, historical, philosophical, ethnographic, experimental, and evaluative research studies. Reports of empirical research, critical reviews, and theoretical works are encouraged. In October 2010, to reflect the Association’s growing international focus and membership, the Board approved referring to the Association by its acronym only. At the April 2011 Board Meeting, the tagline for the Association was approved by the Board. Thus, the Association’s name and tagline is: NARST - A worldwide organization for improving science teaching and learning through research.

Research areas of interest to NARST members include curriculum development and organization, assessment and evaluation, learning theory, teacher education, programs for exceptional students (special needs and talents), equity studies, policy, and methods of teaching.

NARST Mission Statement NARST is a worldwide organization of professionals committed to the improvement of science teaching and learning through research. Since its inception in 1928, NARST has promoted research in science education and the communication of knowledge generated by the research. The ultimate goal of NARST is to help all learners achieve science literacy. NARST promotes this goal by: 1) encouraging and supporting the application of diverse research methods and theoretical perspectives from multiple disciplines to the investigation of teaching and learning in science; 2) communicating science education research findings to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers; and 3) cooperating with other educational and scientific societies to influence educational policies. To learn more about NARST you may visit the Association’s website at http://narst.org/ and read the Bylaws approved by the membership in October 2008 at http://www.narst.org/about/NARST_bylaws.pdf. Member Benefits

These authors identified JRST as clearly the top research journal in science education. • The NARST Annual International Conference Program and Abstracts are available on the conference page of the NARST website. • Members have access to E-NARST News, which is published twice a year and available on the NARST website. • Website and Listserv, allowing access to further information about the Association. You may access this site at the following URL: http://www.narst.org. There is further information about subscribing to the listserv on this site. Explanation of Program Session Formats

Paper Sessions Organized by the Program Committee In a paper session, the presider introduces the presenters and monitors the time used for each presentation. All papers will be allotted 15 minutes for presentation, followed by approximately 5 minutes of questions or discussion. The presider and audience will use any time remaining in the session for additional discussion, general review, and suggestions for further research. Each presenter is expected to disseminate a paper during or immediately following the session, unless the paper is submitted voluntarily for inclusion in the e-version program link that will be password protected for conference attendees only [please note that while the program and abstracts will remain on the website permanently, the link for the manuscripts will only be live during the conference and for a period of up to 7 days prior to and following the conference).

Symposium A symposium involves a panel of experts or stakeholders who examines a specific theme or issue. This format does not involve the presentation of individual papers. Therefore, individual papers and authors will not be listed under this format. Rather, the participants are listed as panel members. The proposer controls presentations, discussion, and questioning with the assistance of the presider or discussant (if designated). Discussion should promote the expression of similar or alternative viewpoints and theoretical positions. The proposer of the symposium is expected to disseminate a paper or a summary with references during or immediately following the session, unless the paper/summary is submitted voluntarily for inclusion in the e-version program link that will be password protected for conference attendees only [please note that while the program and abstracts will remain on the website permanently, the link for the manuscripts will only be live during the conference and for a period of up to 7 days prior to and following the conference).

10 2015 NARST Annual International Conference Related Paper Set This category accommodates, in a single session, three to five related research papers reporting several studies that originate from a common base of research. This format also allows for common elements of design or approach to be presented once rather than repetitively. The proposer and authors may determine the specifics of the session once it is accepted. For instance, those involved may opt for a formal presentation style or they may conduct their session in a more informal, discussion-oriented style. Each presenter is expected to disseminate a paper during or immediately following the session, unless a summary of the related paper set is submitted voluntarily for inclusion in the e-version program link that will be password protected for conference attendees only [please note that while the program and abstracts will remain on the website permanently, the link for the manuscripts will only be live during the conference and for a period of up to 7 days prior to and following the conference).

Interactive Poster Sessions This format offers presenters the opportunity to display their work graphically in a traditional poster session format. Displays should fit on the 48” (long) x 36” (high) tri-fold boards provided and should include a brief abstract in large typescript. Each presenter must set up the display prior to the start of the Poster Session and then remove it promptly at the end of the Poster Session. Each presenter is expected to disseminate a paper during the session, unless a summary of the poster is submitted voluntarily for inclusion in the e-version program link that will be password protected for conference attendees only [please note that while the program and abstracts will remain on the website permanently, the link for the manuscripts will only be live during the conference and for a period of up to 7 days prior to and following the conference). Guidelines for Meeting Presenters

• Go to the designated room at least 10 minutes early. • Greet the presider/discussant. • NARST provides the LCD and screen in each presentation room. NARST does not provide computers. You must have your own notebook computer or you may put your file on a USB flash drive in advance, in case you will be using another presenter’s computer for your presentation. • Check your understanding of the LCD projector and any other audiovisual equipment prior to the session. • Keep presentation within the designated time limit. • Invite audience comments and questions. • If there is no presider assigned for your session, then presenters should keep time for each other. Guidelines for Presiders and Discussants

We have accommodated most sessions with a presider, whose role is detailed below. For sessions without presiders, we are counting on the presenters to set aside time for discussion so that the audience participants can contribute to a discussion of the papers.

The role of the Presider includes: • Arrive early at designated room and arrange furniture as per desires of presenters. • Check and focus LCD projector. • Check pronunciations of the names of the presenter and their institutions. • With presenters, make a time plan, retaining the order of presenters in the program. • Start session promptly. • Introduce presenters and serve as timekeeper. Alert presenters when they have 5, 3, and 1 minute remaining. It is important to end each presentation within the agreed allocated time to ensure fairness to all presenters and in order to end the session on time. One suggestion that may be followed is if someone begins to exceed their allotted time, then it is appropriate to stand up and politely announce to the audience that you invite further discussion directly with the author(s) at the conclusion of the entire session. • Facilitate discussion, assuring equitable involvement of audience members. Close session on time.

The role of the Discussant includes: • Read papers before the session and have remarks prepared ahead of time. • Perform presider duties as detailed above, if there is only a discussant for the session. • After the presentation, make brief and cogent remarks on each paper with suggestions for future research.

12 2015 NARST Annual International Conference 2016 NARST Annual International Conference

The Program Chair invites NARST members and others to participate in the 2016 NARST Annual International Conference, and start planning next year’s program proposals during the 2015 conference.

VENUE: NARST 2016 Annual International Conference Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel Baltimore, MD, USA April 14 - 17

THEME: Toward Equity and Justice: Many Different Voices, Cultures, and Languages in Science Education Research for Quality Science Learning and Teaching The mission of NARST is “to help all learners to achieve science literacy.” With its inception in 1928, this organization has grown into a worldwide organization for enhancing science learning and teaching through research. With globalization, NARST, like many other educational organizations, must consider how educational research, theory, and policy can influence how the world addresses issues of equity and justice. This challenge is especially urgent at this time when science influences major concerns, such as human health, food production, clean water, and economic development in the world. It is critical that we have a world of citizens who can use their science knowledge and skills to make their world a better place in which to live and to pursue and be involved in STEM-related careers if they choose. To what extent does this belief apply if equity and justice are our goals given the meanings, unrealized potential, and continuing challenge of involvement in - and the commitment to - different voices, cultures, and languages in science education and the related research, theorizing, and policy-making?

The 2016 NARST Annual International Conference theme is a call to explore what it means to have different voices, cultures, and languages engaged in science education research. Ideally, NARST conference presenters and attendees will focus their attention, both locally and globally, in a collaborative manner on equity and justice as they relate to science education issues. Baltimore, Maryland is an appropriate place for the members of NARST to again connect and share their research about those who have been, who have not been, and are educationally marginalized, discounted, and denied so that all learners can experience equity and justice in science education. Quality science learning and teaching are the rights of every human being.

Please make your plans to participate in the 2016 NARST conference in Baltimore, Maryland with your various kinds of research presentations, workshops, symposia, and informal conversation with colleagues and others in 2016. We want educators from around the world to share with each other at this 2016 NARST conference.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Proposals for the 2016 Annual International Conference are due by August 15, 2015. You must submit your proposal using the online proposal submission system. This deadline allows sufficient time for processing, reviewing and evaluating the many submitted proposals in a fair manner. By early-July 2015, the call for program proposals will appear on the NARST website.

90 2015 NARST Annual International Conference Pioneering Science Education Research The Virginia Initiative for Science Teaching and Achievement (VISTA) is a multi-year scale-up program to validate prior research on elementary, secondary and programmatic supports for science education (Sterling and Frazier 2010; Frazier and Sterling 2009). Funded by a U.S. Department of Education Investing in Innovation grant, VISTA works with K-12 teachers to help them harness the potential of every student through hands-on, problem-based learning (PBL).

The professional development programs VISTA employs are empowering hundreds of science educators to use a more active style of teaching to engage students in the classroom and beyond. This innovative PBL approach to science teaching shows teachers how to create “real world” student scientists. Students work to solve issues that are relevant not only to their communities but to the future of our world - issues like how to create a more energy independent state or clean up a local river.

VISTA Works! VISTA has already made measurable impact in Virginia schools. When researchers from the external evaluation team at the University of Virginia’s Curry School and Oregon State University analyzed student achievement data, the results showed that economically disadvantaged students of teachers who participated in VISTA professional development achieved a 14-point increase in scaled test scores as compared to students in the control group whose teachers did not receive VISTA professional development.

Other research showed that VISTA impacts teachers’ beliefs and classroom practices. Further, teachers’ science content knowledge and confidence for teaching science increases by doing hands-on science, inquiry-based teaching, and problem-based learning. Teachers reported that the content and strategies they learned from VISTA were directly relevant to their classroom instruction and would help them improve instruction in the upcoming year.
