Science Teachers' Vision for Promoting Productive Classroom Talk

Abstract

We explored the instructional vision of two biology teachers who attended an NSF-funded professional development program (PD) focused on fostering productive epistemic discourse in science classrooms.
● The vision interviews focused on understanding how teachers envision high-quality science instruction.
● We explored how the teachers’ instructional vision maps translated into the vision of high-quality science instruction discussed in the literature. We explored the level of sophistication in teachers’ vision based on vision rubrics.
● The results of data analysis supported to reveal for a holistic view of the teacher’s vision. Exploring teachers’ instructional vision and its development can allow us to promote development of a shared vision between teachers and stakeholders, allowing for the goals of reaching a high-quality science environment to be mutually understood.
