ABSTRACT
We summarize an emerging pedagogical approach to learning science subjects as iMVT (Modeling and Visualization Technology Integrated Inquiry-based Learning) based on our school-based research and the literature of technology for science education. The authors use evidence in their chemistry, biology, and physics studies to show the potential of using iMVT as a uniformed theoretical framework for designing effective learning environments to support science learning.

Are MOOCs an appropriate pedagogy for training K-12 teachers computer science concepts?
Many K-12 teachers want to incorporate computer programming topics into their K-12 curricula but have no idea where to start. Few K-12 state learning standards include computer science standards and most university teacher preparation programs are ...
Pedagogy that Supports Computer Science for All
Special Section on ML Education and Regular ArticlesThe Computer Science (CS) for All movement has taken hold of the United States and CS education is rapidly expanding across nations throughout the world. Yet, as curricula and professional development opportunities are developed, key questions remain ...
Equipping Middle School Teachers with Culturally Responsive Pedagogy in Teaching Computer Science Through Professional Learning
ICER '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research - Volume 2Culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) has gained prominence in computer science (CS) education since it can effectively reach traditionally marginalized populations. Teacher professional development has been found to be the most effective way to enhance ...
