Award V: Implications of Research for Educational Practice recognizes the best paper submitted for nomination and presented at the last ASTE conference. The paper must identify a persistent and recurring problem in the practice of science teacher education and develop strategies to resolve the problem based upon a comprehensive synthesis of relevant research and interpret theory and research for practice.
Our award winner this year is Nicole Grimes for her
paper entitled
“Exploring multiple
outcomes: Using cogenerative dialogues and coteaching in a middle school
science classroom.”
Nicole Grimes is currently a doctoral
candidate at the Graduate Center, City University of New York pursuing a
Ph.D. in Urban (Science) Education. Nicole currently chairs the science
department at her middle school and also teaches high school physical
science and physics. Alongside her work in the classroom, she is also
interested in teaching and learning science in informal and
out-of-school settings in NYC. Her current research centers on using
sociocultural frameworks to explore coteaching and cogenerative
dialogues in urban science classrooms and out-of-school programs. She
hopes to add to the existing body of research on transforming science
education in urban high schools, especially on the ways to improve
teacher-student interactions.
Nicole with ASTE President Jon Pedersen
Carolina Biological Supply has
made possible a cash award of $1,000 for this award.
