Pre-service elementary teachers creating science concept movies as context for communicating evidence-based explanations aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards
Abstract: This paper represents the progression of a research study first presented at the 2008 ASTE Conference of our effort to help pre-service elementary teachers learn to teach science within the context of envisioning and creating their own science content videos. Our research reports on an evolving innovative approach of using video technology tools to enhance pre-service teachers’ understandings of “supporting scientific explanations with evidence” in an elementary science methods course. Specifically, we report the planning and rationale of using pre-service teachers’ original science videos aligned scientific practices articulated by the Next Generation Science Standards.
